Great, well organised trip in fascinating country

Oman Adventure Trekking

This trip was excellent. Every hiking day was quite different in some way, and each hike was stunning. The food was great, both during the camping and when we ate in restaurants, and our crew was friendly and helpful. It is important on this trip to be aware that it can be very hot for the hiking, and to come prepared for that. Bring shoes that can be worn for both walking and swimming for the optional wadi trip on the last day.

An action packed trip with wildlife, stunning coastal scenery and great walks

Cape Town and the Garden Route

A great trip. Every day we did something different from walking to zip wires to visiting caves and even riding ostriches and shark diving. The safari wildland was fantastic at both Addo Elephant Park and also at the private Scotia game reserve. We also so lots of sea life too! Our guides Bevan and Tish we excellent providing us with lots of information and also great food and hospitality.

A good holiday with an excellent group of participants and leaders

Red Hot Chile Trekkers - The Atacama Desert

I enjoyed the holiday, especially getting to the top of Licancabur, and although we were a large group everybody was fit and got on well. The walking was limited in scope by the (unsurprising) lack of water and I feel that the trip should be regarded as a collection of places visited rather than a genuine trekking holiday. For obvious reasons it is not an area suitable for continuous days of walking.

THE best trip so far

Patagonia - The Classic Paine Circuit

Trekking in Patagonia was very special. The weather conditions were very rough - rain, snow, strong winds, hail and a lot of mud on most days - but I guess this is what one should expect in Patagonia. We had a very strong group and a lot of fun - even when faced with these quite tough conditions. Our team leader and the whole crew were amazing. They really took care of us but got us everywhere safley. We all became like one big family and everybody really had a great time. I've done a lot o f trips with KE but this one felt very special. I can definitely recommend it... the landscape, the nature, the rough weather and what a great feeling having accomplished the whole circuit.

Beautiful Island

Walking Undiscovered Tenerife and Pico Teide

We started in the south of Tenerife in the village of Chio. Quaint homestay with good food (although breakfast was a bit basic). The first day was a walk down Masca gorge to the sea. Beautiful gorge but very slippy underfoot - care required. The 2 day hike up Pico Teide followed. Definitely a highlight. We did the 6 hour walk to the refuge on the first day and then a fairly sleepless overnight followed by a 5 am rise to hike to the summit for dawn. Great experience but wrap up well. Below zero o n the summit. Then to the north of the island for 2 nights in pretty La Laguna followed by 2 nights in Santa Cruz. Great walks in the Anaga peninsula down gorges to the sea. The guides Cao and Aaron were great with excellent restaurants used for evening meals. Highly recommended trip.

Absolutly fantastic trip!

Mount Toubkal in Winter

This was my first time booking this kind of trip with a company such as KE, so I was slightly expecting at least something to go wrong. But it didn't! The whole trip was great! The kit list supplied was accurate as was the advice given when i called about a couple of queries. The guides were friendly and very very knowledgable about the mountains that surrounded us. Omar was especially good I thought; very passionate about his job! The food was also a highlight of the trip. Im already think ing and looking at what to book next!!

A true winter mountaineering experience

Mount Toubkal in Winter

This trip delivers what it claims to do providing a true winter mountaineering experience. As such do not expect luxurious or warm living conditions; the mountain refuge is at best basic by alpine refuge standards and the showers and toilets particularly so. However, the food was excellent and plentiful and we were blessed with excellent weather for all days on trek, providing superb views throughout. Better communication from our lead guide would have been appreciated at times but on the whole a good experience.

Full On Winter Trekking

Mount Toubkal in Winter

This is an excellent trek for those wanting to visit high mountains in winter. However, whilst this may suit anyone with regular hill walking experience, be prepared for full on winter conditions. Our acclimatisation walk to a col was on similar ground to the start of the trek to the refuge. After a while, the way to the refuge got more serious. The snow was quite fresh and soft, with icy patches. Summit day weather was very cold, very windy and snowing. The fresh snow was deep in places, which sapped energy. There was too much fresh snow on the second mountain for us to attempt to summit that. Just be prepared for all weather conditions.

Antipodean adventure

Walking New Zealand - North to South Island Explorer

We arrived in Auckland at our hotel Yes the journey was two days of hell There we were, snoring in bed When Vicky phoned, “Are you dead?” Great big earthquake, seven point five “It’s ok dear, we’re still alive”
Rotorua, place of fascinating things Wonderland of geysers, mud pools, hot springs Tongariro Crossing was a no-no Winds, hail and snow, we couldn� ��t go Three whole days of storms and rain But our enthusiasm didn’t wane
Exotic forests, waterfalls In wet weather gear we saw them all In Wellington, the “Windy City” Flash floods there which was a pity Choppy sailing across Cook Strait Arrived in Picton rather late
But next day, in brilliant sunshine Walking the Nydia track, we all felt fine That night at an “eco-lodge” - don’t disparage Slept in an old railway carriage To Torrent Bay, via Abel Tasman track Then we sailed a catamaran back
Blow holes, pancake rocks at Punakaiki Fantastic shoreline, what’s not to likey! Famous Fox Glacier our next port of call Jewel-like Lake Matheson’s scenery didn’t pall Lake Wanaka, a favourite place Tranquil, stunning, full of grace
Up Mount Roy, a hefty climb Views from the top quite sublime Te Anau in Fiordland National Park Next day, up with the lark Rain and hail, then turned to snow To Milford Sound we had to go
Spectacular scenery from a boat We really don’t want to gloat Raging cascades, penguins and seals Snow-capped peaks, a magical feel Sun shone again and off we went Ever upwards, a steep ascent
A remote hut where we were to stay A wilderness, spectacular by day The best star gazing in the world? At night the Milky Way unfurled Next day’s walking not for the weak A windy ascent of Erica’s Peak
Then long descent to Lake Tekapo Sun and wind burnt faces aglow The sun shone with skies quite textbook For our last day’s hike around Mt Cook Avalanches, glaciers, icebergs – what a way To end our New Zealand holiday.

Remote Trekking, good sightseeing, excellent guide

Golden Hills of Burma

We were looking to get into very remote areas on this trip and we certainly did that (no other tourists seen for several days)! All the logistics of the trip worked seamlessly. The sightseeing of temples and 'life' were very good too. Sai is an excellent tour guide, passionate and informative about his country and very organised.
