An amazing way to explore Oman
Oman Adventure Trekking

Although there is less walking than anticipated and the walking is easier than advertised, this is an amazing trip in a beautiful country.

We also had the chance to swap a day of walking in the mountains against a day in the desert with sunrise and sunset walks. It would be a shame to go to Oman and not to see the awesome sand dunes. KE should change the itinerary definitively.

Overall incredible landscapes, stunning mountains, great culture and above all great people.

The trip delivered as promised
Guatemala's Magnificent Seven
We were very fortunate to witness an eruption of Fuego from less that half a mile away. We were camping at the usual campsite on the side of Acatenango while Fuego performed spectacularly for 30 hours.. The remaining volcanos were less exciting, but excellent tough climbs (and descents). The country is lovely - much of it forested and also with extensive small-scale farming which is done with little mechanical assistance on well-tended and often steep ground. The guides (Luis, Mario & Al ehandro) were very good and very helpful. All the meals in town were in good quality restaurants and the hotels were fine better than I expected) - one was a bit 'tired' but the showers worked and everything was clean. Mario's camp-site cooking was a marvel and Luis passed on stacks of information about the country's history, politics and culture. The campsites were quite high up and got quite cold in the evenings - and more so in the early morning for the climbs to watch the sun rise on the summits. . The zero degree warning did not exaggerate (our breath settled as ice on the inside of the tents) I would suggest take a full down jacket and good gloves for these few hours. Some of the summits are made less pleasant by extensive litter - our group was well-organised and did not contribute to the problem, but its clear that not everyone is so disciplined. Antigua seems the nicest town in the country - I would suggest a 2-3 hour walking tour early in the trip would add to the overall trip - the places to go for food, drink, souvenirs etc. are not very obvious or easy to find.

Can't recommend enough - fantastic!
Edge of the Sahara Trek
I did this Trek holiday in January 2016 and had an absolutely fantastic time - it exceeded all my expectations. The organisation was fantastic and everything was thought through and provided for. Amazing fixed camps; delicious and healthy, fresh food at every meal; authentic Moroccan tea on tap; super helpful support team; the best guide ever! Hassan was a dream and I can't praise him highly enough - he was the highlight of my trip with his enthusiasm, knowledge and genuine care. He helped the group gel, kept us all on track, told jokes, kept us informed of plans each day and was happy to help with anything we needed. I also loved the elements of the organised trip that I wouldn't have got had I gone independently; the trip to a local spices shop with a short talk on different spices and their uses/health benefits; horse and carriage ride around Marrakesh after the final group meal; seeing the largest palm grove in Morocco etc. I would recommend this trip (and any with KE) to anyone, regardless of ability or previous experience and will definitely look to book another adventure with KE in the very near future!

Golden Hills of Burma
Golden Hills of Burma
This was an excellent trip combining walking, sights and culture. The itinerary gets the balance rights and was just what we were hoping for. Our guide Sai was superb. His energy, enthusiasm and knowledge were undimmed throughout the trip. The country is coming out of a long period of military rule and is not tarnished by the kind of tourism that has affected more "developed" parts of SE Asia. The people are friendly, open and interested in visitors. However, it was Sai who brought thi s to life; we would not have had such a rich experience without him.

Yallah ( lets go) - Oman, a Trekker's paradise
Oman Adventure Trekking
Jagged Mountains, Wadis and the desert are all part of a magical geological landscape in Oman. I watched beautiful sunrises, sunsets and of course, amazing stars. I am very thankful to Wafa, our guide and her support team. Wafa took me under her wings, and within one week thanks to her, I became an experienced Trekker and Scrambler 'thank you Wafa', it is an unforgettable holiday for me. Swimming in stunning Wadis and an incredible (not on the original itinerary) but an experience not be missed, a trip in the desert. We had wonderful food and packed lunches produced nightly by Wafa and her support team, especially the trail mix which Wafa made up for everyone in the group. The group was very supportive and really, thank you everyone who was part of this trip.

Holiday of a lifetime!
Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
I went on this holiday at the end of September, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. Walking through the Sungate and seeing Machu Picchu for the first time made all those steps worth it!
The trek is tough in places but not impossible, and you see some amazing views on the way! The guide and porters were amazing, not forgetting the Chef, who cooked some amazing food!
Cusco is also an amazing city, and I am so glad I had a day at the start of the ho liday to explore it for myself! I would recommend getting a full pass for various attractions, although only if you're prepared to have a pretty none stop day! The guide also recommended visiting the market in Cusco. which is an authentic market where people from Cusco buy their food. Worth a visit!
All in all an amazing holiday, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of city and outdoors and needs a break from the norm!

Great location but room for improvement
From the Pacific to the Caribbean
There are few holidays which enable you to swim in two great oceans in one holiday. This is a verdant and beautiful part of the world where the warm weather was reflected in the warmth of local people. The itinerary was packed with some amazing experiences but perhaps too much time in the minibus...particularly for a multi-activity based holiday. The kayaking experiences were great and the visit to the Mayan site in Copan, Honduras was magical although rushed. We had a spectacular transit from N icaragua into El Salvador, by boat, with a fantastic seafood lunch, en route - this was a highlight. The accommodation did not always reflect what was advertised. A beach front hotel did not always transpire as such. The guide's level of English resulted in poor communication and was often incomprehensible so we missed out or could not comprehend important and interesting information about the locations and places of interest on our itinerary. I think this holiday could be improved and I would like to see more activity, more walking to explore the stunning subtropical forests, with more opportunity to view wildlife.

Bucket list holiday which didn't disappoint!
Arctic Wilderness Week Finland
This is a trip which my wife and I always wanted to go on. We've recently returned and i have to say it was first class. The hotel was in a great location and was really lovely. The staff were very helpful and the food and service in their restaurant was first rate. My wife is a veggie but they made some excellent meals for her and i ate a lot of the meat on offer. What made this holiday special was the trips. The snowmobiling is good fun and the snowshoeing is ok. The hotel is also a t the top of a ski slope but you will have done all the slopes in a morning even if you are a beginner but its a nice break on your day off. The best thing is the huskies. You get taken out to a farm where there are about 80 huskies. we shared a sledge for the first two days and on the third day we were in control of our own sledge with our own dogs. I can't explain how much fun it was being with the digs and then stopping for a picnic which was sausages, soup and toasties over a camp fire in the middle of a snowy forest. It's amazing. We stayed out in a lodge which was a really nice idea. We cut out an ice hole and retrieved our own water so that the group of us could cook and fire up the sauna! It was a bucket list holiday which didn't disappoint. We even saw the northern lights on the last night. No special kit is required because they give you everything but we would recommend packing walking and skiing kit (especially base layers) to keep you warm. Ideal for couples or families - it's a wonderful trip!

Wonderful, well-orgainsed trip to a stunning location
Trails of the Amalfi Coast
We arrived in a village near Amalfi and we were treated to a wonderfully authentic time. Great food and friendly atmosphere and a lovely location. Amalfi itself was quite touristy and busy so we were pleased to be just outside. The guide (Rosa) was excellent. We walked most days except for the day when we went around Vesuvius and Pompeii. The walking was not difficult and the days were relatively short. This is a trip for almost all abilities. We has a lovely walk in the morning, then a f resh picnic and then finished off in a touristy location such as Ravello, Positano or Amalfi. The day trip was well organised and allowed us plenty of time to explore. We actually tagged on a couple of days in Naples which is worthwhile because its a pretty city and allows you time to see their old town, port area and Herculaneum. All in all, a great holiday and excellent value.

Remarkable trip to Jordan: trekking in Wadi Rum and Petra
Jordan's Wadi Rum and Petra

Amazing trip to Jordan, exploring the desert of Wadi Rum and Petra. Beautiful landscapes, extremely welcoming and friendly people: spending time hiking and camping with Bedouins was just an amazing experience.

Tour leader Nader was excellent in organizing our days and provide additional insight into the history and culture of this remarkable country. Great job!

Petra was great, as well was the hike to biblical summit of Jebel Haroun.

Overall an truly stunning experience!

fantastic trekking
Ethiopia, Simien Mountains Trek & Lalibela
stunning scenery,amazing wildlife including being surrounded by a troop of baboons and a sighting of a rare Ethiopian wolf. Summiting Ras Dashen was a particular highlight as the sheer effort of a long days hike and a scramble to the top made it a true achievement and to be welcomed back to base camp by a village reception party made it all the more special.
Incredible guides and staff lead by the incomparable Filemon and Djerba(?) along with an amazing chef, Casa and his assistants Bant i and Santi made for an informative and enjoyable experience.
To top all this off,I as fortunate enough to be joined by great fellow adventurers who made for a fantastic Christmas and New Year.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone !

Full of variety
Hill Tribe Trails and Highlights of North Vietnam
This was a wonderful trip and full marks to KE for devising a trek away from the crowds (we saw no other tourists for five days) and one which would be so difficult to do independently. The walking through a pastoral landscape of farmsteads and villages was fascinating and the homestays, though simple, were all very welcoming. Thanh was an excellent leader, full of stories and keen to explain everything Vietnamese. As we've come to expect with KE, all the hotel and travel arrangements worke d meticulously. We enjoyed the free time in Hanoi to see the sights we wanted to see and of course the old town is just ideal for casual exploration. Ha Long Bay was outstanding. It was so nice to have a boat to ourselves and with fine food, perfect weather and, not least, such good company from one of the most harmonious groups we've travelled with, it made a fine finish.

Wonderful exploration and discovery of NW area India which had 'called' to me.
Hill Stations & Houseboats of Kashmir
Was very well taken care of by the ground agents whilst travelling as an independent after group booking was cancelled. Left feedback with them as requested before leaving Delhi regarding specific hotels/guides etc. Couple of glitches during the trip down to outside forces and totally out of control of KE/agents but taken care of wonderfully by the Indian personnel over there looking after me, both by the people 'one the spot' at the time and the team in Delhi which was constantly in t ouch with the local guides etc. throughout. Actually made the trip even more enjoyable and a real adventure! In most locations not was I the only western woman but the only westerner full stop. Felt very safe. Everyone locally was so friendly, treated me so nicely and I made memorable contacts and experiences. And to top it all was very healthy throughout - I only eat Indian food when there/which was great! I can't wait to visit India again. go back to India.

Amazing scenery in a remote & special part of Morocco
Jebel Sahro Walking Holiday
Thisis an amazing 4 days of trekking, through wild scenery of wind-eroded volcanoes and deep ravines. You won't meet another soul - unless it's a lady herding goats - a rael chance to "get away from it all." Tips 1) You won't get a bowl of hot water in the mornings as with other camping trips - water is too scarce 2) You need very little spending money - maybe £40 on tips and a drink/snack if you arrive early on 1st day. (You can't spend dharma in the Duty Free - e xcept a few small outlets) so don't exchange too much 3) You don't need water purification tablets - water is bought just before you get to the homestead in Tagdelt 4) The homestead is VERY basic, with two uni-sex rooms. 5) 90% of the paths are copvered in stones/boulders, or are in river valleys - this is tough walking
