fantastic wilderness experience
Arctic Wilderness Week Finland
Finland at Iso Syote is a wonderful place to experience all the snow related activities. Dogsled ding for 3 days was the best without doubt in a real snow wilderness. The staff from the husky farm were brilliant, friendly and always cheerful a really credit to their country. The dogs were awesome keen to go and exciting when in full flow. We each had our own sleds for the 2 day safari and all coped really well. Snow mobiling was good if a bit too many drivers fully enjoy. I also enjoyed the down hill skiing and managed my first black. Jane went off cycling on bikes with big fat tyres and loved that. We also did some walking in the park. Got some awesome pics which I shall upload.
practical points are, your case may get lost on transfer from helsinki so pack essentials in cabin bag, it usually turns up the day later.The trip from Oulu to Iso Syote takes 3.5 hrs ie 1 hour wait for bus to go and 2.5 hours to travel. Go to the hotel clothes store and get some boots and cold gear straight away to use whenever u like they are very helpful. Mark tour bag with name tag and make sure it's check through to oulu in London
hope that helps it is a great trip and the food was brilliant.

Fantastic holiday
Antarctic Hike and Sail Expedition
Antarctica is totally unique, unlike any other place.
Be prepared for; rough seas, amazing views, abundant wildlife, great company, good food, cold (and windy) weather, lots of penguins, jumping into/out of Zodiacs, getting wet, disinfecting your boots, drinking lots in the bar, meeting lots of new friends, watching whales, falling asleep listening to lectures, snoring from campers, icebergs, innumerable glaciers, unbelievably rugged mountains.
Do take; a spirit of adventure and lo ts of memory cards
Don’t take; books (you wont have time to read them)

Great trek, excellent guide and crew - 6th March
Peaks and Valleys of Jebel Sirwa - Morocco
The trekking is a mixture of paths and scrambling. Nothing difficult except for the final ascent of Jebel Sirwa - where ropes are needed. This is just the last 30ms - and you can decide not to do it - the views are still 360 degree panorama from the ridge just below the summit. The guide, Mohammed really looked after us. He was very informative and caring. The cook (Ali) prepared some amazing banquet meals - even the lunches were amazing. Lots of fresh salads, vegetables and fruit and of c ourse the tangines. Tents are very good and mattress (with cover) provided.
It got cold at night - as soon as the sun went down. A good sleeping bag is needed. Plus a down jacket for the evening and early morning. Blue skies during the day but still cool - ideal for trekking.
Take water purification tablets or steripen.
Definitely recommend this trip - fortunate to have a small group of 5 - and we all had a great time.

Amazing!
Walking New Zealand - North to South Island Explorer

New Zealand exceeded my expectations as a first class destination particularly for outdoor fanatics.
Beautiful scenery and activities for all at all levels.
The guides Bas,Mike and Sue were all very attentive and Bas in particular was especially enthusiastic in sharing his love and knowledge of this beautiful island.
It really was the best holiday of my life!
Thank You KE!

Excellent and varied walking
Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira
Thanks so much to KE for this great walking holiday. I was amazed at how much variety there is in a relatively small - but beautiful - island. Six walks, each completely different. Levadas, seaside cliffs, misty Lord of the Rings style forests, stunning mountains, waterfalls, etc. Great views looking down on the clouds! Days were nice and long, and I was pleasantly surprised by the challenge of the terrain - glad I brought boots rather than shoes. Extra thanks to our great guide Roberto, wh o knew the island like the back of his hand, kept us entertained with tales of the mysterious Madeira pigeon, and always seemed to be able to produce a cup of tea or coffee when needed most. He/KE also catered extremely well for my gluten intolerance - I was spoiled! Thanks a million!

great trip that wouldn't have been possible without our guide
High Level Pyrenees Snowshoe Holiday
I've done this trip 3 times & again the weather meant that our excellent guide John had to rethink the itinerary to ensure that we still had a great week.
As a result we had excellent snow shoeing except for one day. That day we were still out in the hills all day hiking.
For the mini Exped part of the week we tried 2 refuges on the Spanish side as there was loads of snow round there. This worked really well & meant I got to see a new area of the Pyrenees.
T his trip is a great way to guarantee a good week out in winter conditions high in the mountains.

Great overview to Morocco.

A truly unique experience to get a good sense of the diversity and richness of the country, with an excellent guide (Hassan) and driver (Hussein).

True holiday adventure with a marvelous guide, Hassan, and 2 excellent drivers.
Marrakech and The Bougmez Valley

A truly unique experience to witness life in the High Atlas. The lodge was very comfortable, the food excellent, the staff super friendly yet unobtrusive, and our guide the best imaginable. hikes were rigorous and invigorating, especially after a meter of snow fell during our second night there. All in all, a very positive experience.

A fantastic holiday providing a perfect mix of sightseeing and trekking
Temples and Trails of Burma
We could not have asked for more from a holiday - just loved every minute in Burma. Our outstanding guide Ko Kyaw Kyaw ("Jo-Jo") was absolutely top notch, immensely knowledgeable about the history of Burma, its culture and traditions, and was charming and polite, tirelessly answering in excellent English the barrage of questions we had for him. Nothing was too much trouble. The holiday was a well-balanced mix of sightseeing combined with some gentle trekking in the rolling Southern Sh an State hills, away from the tourist trail where we were able to engage with the delightful local population and witness their traditional way of life. The support crew made sure all our kit was ready and waiting for us at the end of the day, so all you need is a very light day sac. Water and tea houses are all available en route, and if you can't manage the walking there is the option of taking a ride on a tuk-tuk with the gear.

This is a country that is on the cusp of big changes and modernisation, so now is definitely the time to sample its traditional ways of life. KE arranged a personally-tailored 4-day extension with another first class guide (Min Aye Than) from the same company as Jo-Jo, and with an excellent driver in Thaw Zin we covered a lot of ground that many outsiders rarely see. Excellent internal flights and transfers to our comfortable hotels went like clockwork, with all arrangements fully covered by Jo-Jo and his colleagues.

absolutely fantastic walking holiday.
Northern Lights Snowshoe Safari
What an excellent experience. From being collected at the airport until the bus journey to return we were looked after 100% by out guides. They took care to ensure everyone was comfortable and the walking pace suited. Those wanting more were advised where to go to be safe. The views and terrain where all we could hope for with plenty of information to make it all real. The guides had great experience to share and added in local history and information about the Sami's way of life. And we go t to see the Northern Lights which was a bonus. Would recommend this experience to anyone.

Great trip to Arctic Sweden
Northern Lights Snowshoe Safari
I really enjoyed the trip and it mostly lived up to expectations. The two guides were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The scenery was very impressive. I have a couple of critisisms. Firstly the two of us in my party booked onto the dog mushing trip through KE but this information was not sent on correctly to the admin people at the Abisko Lodge so we were not able to do this trip at the end - very dissappointing. Secondly I think it was a long way to go to only get one full day and two nigh ts up at the arctic cabins. Another day would have been better. A number of people in the group agreed with me about this. The walks from the cabins were rather short. Only 5.5 Km on first day.

Exceptional New Zealand
Walking New Zealand - North to South Island Explorer
I always knew that going to New Zealand would be a wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable experience, but it turned out to be so much more than I could have hoped to expect. I've done more challenging treks, I've been to magical places elsewhere, but I've never done a trip that was so varied in terms of landscape, so informative in terms of learning about the history, geography, culture, flora, fauna of a nation, and so filled with exciting discoveries - both about this exceptional co untry and about myself. Simply one of the greatest experiences of my life. My flight back is already booked!

Wonderful exhilarating experience
Northern Lights Snowshoe Safari
From start to finish we were well looked after and catered for by 2 excellent guides. Sara in particular went out of her way to accommodate everyone's needs. Walking in the snow on the mountains was amazing, so vast and expansive, wild and wonderful. Even with temperatures hovering around -15* we were warm and cosy in our lodgings. Even enjoyed chopping logs to keep the fires going. And to top it off the Aurora gave us an amazing view and followed us across a frozen lake. Looking forward to another experience with KE as you are among the best of the best.

Fantastic experience
Marrakech and The Bougmez Valley
My first experience with KE and all excellent - great organisation, fantastic guide (Hassan), great food and logistics all managed with aplomb. We had a lot of snow on our first night in the valley so walks had to be amended to suit the conditions. Hassan did a fantastic job in ensuring we got out for walks each day. He was also very informative about the area and the life of the Berbers in the valley. The gite in the mountains was lovely and the staff there were so kind and welcoming. The hammam was an experience!

Great Ski tour of the Schwartzwald.
Highlights of the Black Forest Ski Traverse

A very good XC skiing holiday with excellent food, accommodation and organisation.
Booking an extra day at the front of the trip gave more time to see some of the area
and get oriented and rested after the journey out.

An amazing experience
Wellbeing Women - Kilimanjaro Climb

The most amazing trip - physically and mentally challenging. It wouldn't have been possible without the fabulous staff, from our guides, cooks, camp staff and porters. I would recommend this trip for anyone looking for a challenge and a trip to remember.

Outstanding winter climb of Mt Toubkal
Mount Toubkal in Winter

Thanks for a fabulous 8 day trip to climb Mt Toubkal and Ras. The whole trip went smoothly and our local guides were fantastic. The weather and the other people on my trip contributed to one of the best holidays I've had!

Excellent highlights of a fascinating country
Sri Lanka Explorer
It was the first time I had been on this type of touring holiday in a group as I usually prefer to travel independently. It worked out very well and I was able to see much more than I would have done on my own in 2 weeks. The local tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, particularly at the historical sites. There was quite a lot of traveling in a minibus and you do live out of a suitcase to a large extent but it is worth it to cover such a lot of ground in a short time. The UNESCO herita ge sites are amazing and the safari in the Yala National Park was excellent but overcrowded. It would have been good to spend more time exploring the tea plantations but on a busy highlights tour there wasn't time. I would recommend the trip to anyone who hasn't visited Sri Lanka before and wants to sample the highlights.

A fantastic African adventure
Kilimanjaro and Safari
Kilimanjaro Trek is excellent and extremely well organised. Definitely take altitude sickness tablets, walking poles, pack your clothes in dry bags inside the kit bag and use a camelback for drinking water. The guides are very knowledgeable and duty of care is at the forefront of their minds. Food is prepared in camp by the cook and his kitchen porters - it is tasty and carb heavy but you need it. The views and are breathtaking, my camera did not do them justice but sometimes it's better to just immerse yourself in your surroundings. Safari was amazing, especially Tarangire and the luxury tents. You are unlikely to see anything better than on a David Attenborough doc, but to be there to experience the noises, smells and all the small things you don't see on TV is definitely worth the investment. Ngorongoro crater is a natural wonder but it did feel more like a "managed" reserve with all the animals enclosed in the crater. Nevertheless, we saw everything apart from the elusive leopard. I strongly encourage you to book Kili and safari!! After completing safari at Lake Manyara we went to Zanzibar on the extension. We booked 4 nights but 3 would have been enough, especially if you are not planning to splash out $40-90 pp for each tourist activity. We went on a walking tour of Stone Town but organised it through the company that transferred us between the airport and resort, which was cheaper. The resort (Shooting Star) was about an hour from the main town (Stone Town) and was the perfect place to unwind, but also felt a bit isolated and there was nowhere to explore on foot locally. The owner of the resort was around for a couple of days and seemed amicable at first but did cause offence and made inappropriate comments to female guests. I was pleased when he left! We did return to the UK with upset stomachs too, just to make you aware. Despite these unfortunate events, the staff at the resort were very good and made us feel welcome.

Tough but fantastic trekking adventure
Kilimanjaro Rongai Route
We had a great time on the Rongai Route. The KE local agents were fantastic. Our leader, guides and porters were friendly, hard working and very knowledgeable about the local area and the mountain. We were very well looked after throughout our stay. I would say though that you need to do some decent preparation to get fit to climb Kili. Much of the trip is straightforward but the final ascent is very challenging so if you're going to do this, do read up on what to expect so you can make the most of it. Overall an amazing trip.
