A great weekend break
Mount Teide Weekend - Tenerife

A satisfying weekend, well organised and with a knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful guide; it was a great way to "knock off" a national summit. I highly recommend this trip.

What this trip lacked in single track it more than made up for in food & culture
Turkish Delight – Cycling in Cappadocia
This was culture filled and scenic trip. By the time the dust settled, we had put on 270 km. Only a few of these were on single-track, but dirt/gravel trails/roads led us to little communities along the way. Unexpected encounters were made, such as having a coffee in a hamlet square with the local men as their grandsons inspected our bikes. Or assisting the local women in a bread kiln as they stoked the fire and baked their bread. Wonderful and friendly people. Certainly the underground churches , pigeon roosts, homes, and the amazing city of "Derinkuyu" kept us riding, as did the wonderful lunches and dinners at the restaurants frequented by the locals - not the tourists. Our guide, "Atil Kamas", was fluent, experienced, capable of answering any historical or cultural questions, and knew the best places to dine, visit, explore, and ride. For reference, I have also done the "High Trails of Macedonia" with KE. "Turkish Delight" was superior.

Paolo couldn't have taken any more trouble
El Hierro - The Secret Canaries

We really enjoyed this trip - just as advertised. Paolo took such trouble to ensure everyone had a good time. The food was excellent. The accommodation is basic, as it says in the notes, but clean and adequate. One or two people seemed to think there was excessive downhill but I don't understand this - it's all clear in the notes. Beautiful island, really felt like the 'edge of the world' in Europe.

A great way to see this part of Thailand and its people.
Bangkok to Phuket Road Cycling Tour
The trip was very well organised with outstanding support from the two ride leaders and two drivers. We were taken to places of interest at every opportunity and enjoyed genuine Thai food at lunch stops and in the evenings. Overnight accommodation was always good and sometimes excellent keeping in mind the need for appropriate distances each day in determining the location of hotels. This was a memorable trip and we are especially grateful for the response of the team following an injury to my w ife. They could not have been more helpful.

Good mix of volcano & crater lake walk and exposure to equatorial culture & land
Ecuador Walking Highlights
In a short span of two weeks, we crossed the Equator Line; circuited a few crater lakes (Cuicocha Crater Lake and Quilotoa Crater Lagoon); ascended to 5,000m+ elevations of several volcanoes like Cotopaxi, Ruminahui Central enjoying the view and the “KE level 6” walk; learned something new about the “Equatorial Bulge” while walking in Chimborazo; and had an unexpected encounter of a wild fox in Cotopaxi National Park. We also visited Saquisili market for a first-hand experience of the in digenous culture, people and a super abundance of resources from the rich soil of the equatorial volcanic land. Spending the New Year’s Eve in Banos was a big plus. An icing on the cake was a day trip to Devil’s Cauldron Waterfalls near Banos and zip lining over Rio Pataza Canyon. While Guamote also has a local market (including a livestock market), it was the community school for kids that left more impression on us. There was lots of driving though, as expected. In summary, this KE program is a good mixture of walk of the volcanoes & crater lakes and exposure to the indigenous culture & equatorial land.

A trip that delivered everything promised
Kerala and the Cardamom Hills
This is my first KE trip and I found myself with a great group of returning KE clients. This trip delivered everything but the stand out aspect for me was the tour leader and lead trekking guide (Senthill and Saravan). Totally professional and very caring. Their attention to detail was excellent, particularly around camp and kitchen hygiene whilst on the trek. And perhaps the most humbling moment was when hot 'tiffin' appeared from Saravan's rucksack for the whole party of ten aft er 4 hours into a trekking day. My fellow traveler Laurence has put some fantastic pictures up of our recent trip - these really capture the essence of Kerala and the Cardamom Hills . I'm certainly looking forward to my next trip with KE.

Great scenery and culture and lovely winter sunshine
Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands
Cape Verde has some fantastic scenery especially on Santo Antao. Probably exceeded my expectations. The whole trip was very well organised and well led by Odair. The walking is usually only about 5 hrs per day but it often involves steep ascents and descents so perhaps more strenuous than expected. The ascent of the active volcano PIco do Fogo was a highlight but was especially steep! I would definitely recommend the trip. I found a walking pole very useful for the descents and would recommend g aiters, only for the PIco descent on soft ash - I didn't have any and I had to empty my boots 4 times!

Great Landscapes and Superb Wildlife
The Great Southern African Lodge Safari
On this trip you certainly get to see a great deal in a relatively short space of time, but do be prepared for some long days inside a potentially hot and dusty vehicle over some very rough roads - and some very good roads. The highlights for me were the two nights wild camping in the Okavango Delta away from civilization and modern technology, and the stunning deserts of Namibia. I went in September/October, but I think that somewhat earlier in the year would have provided as many good wildlife opportunities with less heat. The accommodation is very impressive, with a variety of very good quality lodges and cabins and some very good glamping tents - all were very clean and comfortable. Most of the food was prepared by the guides with the assistance of willing volunteers from the group, which made the experience very sociable and a good way to get to know one another. A few meals were taken in restaurants, and gave the opportunity to try some unusual delicacies such as crocodile, kudu, eland and oryx. We managed to see most of the "big five" species (the five most dangerous to Man), especially in the Okavango and Chobe national parks, where there was all sorts of animal and bird life in abundance. It was an amazing experience to be sitting in one of the open-sided vehicles in the Chobe park with a herd of about 40 elephants including babies and juveniles ambling by within about 10 metres of us. The game drive was followed by an evening cruise on the river, which was really excellent and culminated in an awesome sunset. Tracking big game in the Okavango Delta was another truly memorable experience, the native guides giving so much valuable information on animal behaviour and identification by their droppings. By contrast, the deserts were stunning for their landscape qualities, but also produced an unexpected array of wildlife from lizards, snakes and birds to mammals. However, one of the most vivid memories I have taken away was not so much the classic dunes of the Kalahari but seeing the Milky Way again in all its glory - a rare sight in our polluted night skies. The two guides we had - Chris and Zandre - were very informative and worked hard behind the scenes to ensure that we were properly looked after and kept to the busy schedule. Zandre produced some very memorable meals from fresh ingredients, often using rudimentary bush cooking equipment. Aside from the landscape and wildlife interest, this trip provides a great deal of cultural and historic interest, including desert rock carvings and rock paintings, and the remains of a petrified forest. The holiday includes some walking, some of which is optional, but was necessary to see the carvings and paintings. The ascent of Dune 45 in the Kalahari is a "must-do" experience and not as bad as it looks if you take your time, for the rewards are spectacular. The desert landscapes provided a beautiful palette of colours from blacks to reds, browns and yellows, all set against deep blue skies. And, of course, you get to see some fabulous dusks and dawns during the trip, over mountains, plains and rivers. Cultural interest was provided through beautiful naive song and dance routines, the most memorable occasion being an impromptu mini concert in the Okavango Delta around the camp fire after the evening meal. Then there was a short walk with San Bushmen, who showed how it is in fact possible to create fire by rubbing two sticks together. Again, by way of contrast, the ex-colonial German settlements of Swakopmund and Windhoek have a special character to remind you of a bygone era, although hearing German being spoken by schoolchildren in the streets was quite bizarre. Along the way there are several opportunities for excursions including flights by microlight and plane (Victoria Falls) and helicopter or plane (Okavango), as well as several activities at Swakopmund such as dune buggies or a desert wildlife experience where we came across a sidewinder snake, desert jackal, colourful lizards and birds. At the Okavango I chose to take the light aircraft flight (pay by card or cash) but if you want to take photographs you need to take the somewhat pricier helicopter flight for uninterrupted views and a slower ground speed. I can't believe that we packed in so much in such a short space of time. Highly recommended, despite some uncomfortable days on the road, and a long flight from the UK.

Great experience !
Mount Teide Weekend - Tenerife
Really great trip - we did so much in such a short period of time. Cao was an excellent guide who was clearly passionate about Tenerife - his home - and gave lots of interesting facts. He really looked after us - especially in the refuge at 3260m. Tips : bring ear plugs and eye mask for dorm. Hand warmers for the summit. Travel a day earlier and get up to Mt Teide park, and if possible go up the cable car - this will really help you acclimatise. Tickets can be pre-booked online. I found gaiters helpful to stop the small stones going into my boots.

Great group, awesome guide.
Bulgarian Snowshoe Adventure
8 people max (constrained by van size) makes this trip close knit and as always the KE contracted guide (Ivo) was terrific. This is quite a civilized trip as hiking type trips go with a typical day consisting of breakfast at 8, out at 9 and back by 4, with enough time and elevation in between to get a decent workout in some spectacular scenery. The weather was relatively warm in Sofia and lower elevations but tons of snow at higher elevations made for great snowshoeing. Ivo did a great job of ad justing our routes and changing up days to ensure we had a decent outing every day. One note for people considering this trip - we were sort of cautioned beforehand that one of the 3 night stays was slightly rougher accommodations. This was true but it was clearly done so that we could start our outings from the front door without having to drive anywhere. furthermore, the staff there was superb, the food and rakia were good, and the room was certainly comfortable enough. highly recommended.

Great holiday with physical challenge, local cultures, religions and history
Sri Lanka End to End Road Cycle Tour

Did need a tourist visa despite information to the contrary from KE. Also kit list from KE not specific to the trip-probably cut and pasted from another biking trip. <em>Local agent</em> ran the trip subcontracted by <em>local agent</em>, very good but communication at the start could have been better. Overall brilliant trip despite the above which could be improved.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review. We are glad you had such a brilliant trip. We provide visa information for all our trips, which can be found in the 'Holiday Information' section of the individual trip pages. A visa is required for Sri Lanka and can be obtained online. The equipment list is designed for this trip and although we hope you will not require all the items on the list (for example, wet-weather gear), we advise everyone to bring these items. Better to bring them and not have to use them, rather than the other way round!

Very well organized, good trip
Guatemala's Magnificent Seven
This trip was fun. There were a lot of logistical challenges and the local guides did a fantastic job of managing all of it. They worked extremely well together, and they were really lovely guys who all worked so hard to make our trip a success. They were a very special trio that I would recommend without hesitation. The only reason this gets 3 stars from me is that I simply didn't find the hiking that good. Most climbs were jungle hikes with limited views until the summit, and a couple had significant trash along the way. The volcanoes were less impressive and volcano-y than the ones in Indonesia, which are quite active and each one quite distinct. Again, this is no fault of KE or the local guides, who both did a great job.
