Off the grid in the Algarve

Timeless Trails of Portugal's Algarve

Really enjoyed this trip despite the slightly unseasonal weather. Expecting something a bit warmer and drier. The base for the trek is wonderfully different to most holiday accommodation. Great being able to get off the grid with no mobile signal and limited internet. Great scenery in an area which is still very unspoilt.

Not for the faint-hearted!

Climb Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro

We enjoyed the trek up Mount Kenya very much. It was very quiet in the camps, often only our group. The scenery was greener along the way and the summit climb much shorter but pretty tiring! The view from the small plateau at the peak at sunrise was very moving! The approach to Kilimanjaro was altogether more barren but still beautiful. However, summiting Kilimanjaro was extremely taxing. We were tired from the day’s trek, had a short sleep and started for the summit at 11:30pm. It took us 7. 5 hours to get to the top. During this time we were walking uphill in the dark, it was painfully cold so we only had very short rests. It was torture! Our guide was determined we were all going to make it so we all trudged on. We did all get there!
We were pleasantly surprised how comfortable the camps were. Sites were all level and we had sufficiently thick mattresses. We had copious amounts of carbohydrate to keep us going and the food was good. They did a pretty good job coping with some unusual food allergies within the group. Washing facilities were limited as it says in the trip notes and the hotel stays between the two mountain treks was very welcome. The border crossing into Tanzania was predictably tiresome with much queuing!
Our Kenyan and Tanzanian guides were both very good and looked after us very well.

Ice & Spires Patagonia - trip of a lifetime

Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia

We had the best time in Patagonia. Our guide Luis was fantastic, he looked after us amazingly well. I left my headtorch at the refugio and Luis let me have his! We were very lucky with the weather, lots of glorious sunshine, not too windy and it only rained a couple of times. The scenery was breathtaking and very varied. Beautiful lakes in blue & turquoise and glaciers. On the whole the food was good and abundant. The W-trek was the most challenging at the point that we hiked to the first ca mpsite. It was a long day with a heavy pack, and us arriving in a short burst of heavy rain, soaked through, that took us a while to dry out. Both the Chile and Argentinian sections of our Patagonian trip were stunning!

I loved it, it was an amazing experience!

Everest Base Camp Trek

This was an amazing trip, well organised and supervised from the moment I met our guide, Phurba in Kathmandu. Phurba Sherpa and his team were amazing and really took the hassle of the trip.

Amazing trek to Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp

Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek

Just got back from my trek in Nepal. I had an amazing time from start to finish. The organisation was first class from the hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, the transportation and trek itself. Our guide, JB and assistant Prym were fantastic and together with our three Porters looked after us all very well. I would have no hesitation in using KE again.

The whole trip itinerary was spot on

Jordan's Wadi Rum and Petra

Charming staff always at the end of the phone to answer questions on the planning stage. Good trip descriptions on web site. Excellent staff on the ground at all stages of the trip. Great advice on what to take etc. I also admire the ethos of the company.

Guide Murad is such a special find. He is extremely knowledgable and friendly and professional - the fact he enjoys his job and the activities comes over well. He was helpful and safety conscious and had a wonderful banter and re lationship with Salam. I consider myself lucky to have had him as our guide.

La Gomera - Jewel of the Canaries

Very well organised with very good guides and places we wouldn't think of going to. Really interesting and varied walking and fascinating insights into local life from Ene (guide). Really enjoyed it with great company and a real variety of landscapes.

Always fantastic

The Ultimate Everest Trek

Been with KE 3 times now, even though I've used a lot of other companies KE is far the best, in every way, from booking to communicating to the trips! I think the best guide I've ever had, and I think I must have done over 25 trips!! So I think high praise. Very good value for money. Everything was spot on.. so so happy! I could have turned around and done it again

Beautiful scenery, and tough mountain hiking

Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands

The Cape Verde Islands are wonderful, with amazing scenery, friendly people, and a relaxed way of life. Their moto is "no stress".
The hiking was challenging, with steep ascents and descents, and some rocky mountain paths. The ascent to the top of the volcano is not for those afraid of heights, or a bit of rock climbing. Most of the walks our group would classify as a bit more than moderate, so be warned. But my wife and I had a wonderful experience and we are very glad we went.

Ultimate everest trek

The Ultimate Everest Trek

Just back from this trip 21 days in nepal. Everything about this trip was amazing, the hotel in Kathmandu was fantastic the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food and facilities were first class.
Pasang the guide was absolutely fantastic in every way from start to finish. The trek is incredible but not for the faint hearted. Climbing to the viewpoint on gokyo ri and the chola pass took the breath away, literally but boy was it woth it for the amazing panorami c views. Nepal is amazing and I can't wait to go.back.

Macchu Picchu amazing trip.

Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

Even though the Inca Trail was closed because of landslides we had the most amazing time.. Our guide Germain took us on some fantastic trails and we even got to see a village festival and try their homemade booze and chicken soup. Many of the villagers were porters for the trail and we're laid off. Accommodation was great and we ate amazing food. Having a small group( 3 of us) made it easier to organise. The trip on the train to Macchu Picchu was very enjoyable and the journey up to the sit e through the clouds the next day was surreal. An amazing site as the cloud lifted. A dream holiday which will be in my heart forever.

Machu Pichu in the rainy season

Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

We arrived in Cusco on the 2nd of March, preparing ourselves for the 4-day walk to Machu Pichu via the Inca Trail. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain there had been a landslide that closed the trail. New plans were required. Our guide, Juan Jincho Aragon, modified our holiday accordingly. We spent 4 days based in Ollantaytambo, each day undergoing a trip/walk to visit different Inca sites, usually walking along other Inca Trails. The experience was extremely rewarding. We were often the only t ourists visiting these places, creating a more bespoke and authentic feel. Juan's phenomenal experience of Inca history, language and customs was immensely educational and his charisma and humour were hugely entertaining. What started as a potential disaster on arrival, when learning of the landslade and the rapid change of plans, became a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that left us as huge fans of Peru and its impressive scenery and history. KE should ensure that they keep utilising dedicated, well-informed people like Juan to provide a real 'edge' in the experience provided.

UN POQUITO MAS!

Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia

I do not have sufficient words to describe how wonderful, how fabulous, how stunning this trip was. My expectations were already high; said expectations were exceeded. Patagonia is literally of this world; it is figuratively out of this world.
No better way to see Patagonia than with KE. Perfectly planned and wonderfully led by Luis, with the more than able assistance of the Chilean guides Yasser and Juan. Highlights for me included: the walk to the Torres del Paine - perfectly timed to beat the hordes; lunchtime at Cerro Torre; the view of the Cuernos del Paine from the hotel in Serrano; the evening in the estancia. So many more. I was also lucky enough to be part of a great group of like-minded people.
A final word about our Argentinian guide Luis: on day one I managed to burn my nose (watch out for that wind!) and not only did he equip me with some magic healing ointment, but he also fashioned a bespoke nose-protector for me! And on the day I was unwell and unable to participate, he ensured that both the hotel and the local operator was aware of my situation. Que hombre!
