Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek
Annapurna Sanctuary was a beautifully organized trip, all parts working. Great communication, great staff throughout. Jangbu Sherpa was beyond outstanding in every way. He knows exactly what he is doing, maintains a beautiful self-effacing sense of humor and quiet confidence even as it soon becomes obvious that he sees everything and knows how to help along the way in a graceful way that responds immediately to both group and individual needs. A very impressive and friendly man; I would trust hi m to take me anywhere.

Amazing varied trekking holiday
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek

A great experience exploring a very varied part of Nepal. The local team of porters and guides were amazing, and the scenery was the best we have seen anywhere - especially our days in the snow at Annapurna base camp.

Fantastic scenery
Self-Guided Walking on Cape Verde

Great walks along old established tracks and paths passing through fantastic scenery, irrigated terraces growing coffee , sugar cane etc, and local communities. On longer walks the conditions underfoot made the a bit more than ' leaisurely'.

Magnificent Adventure
Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia

KE was amazing from beginning to end: flights, transfers, accommodation and entry to National Parks all worked like a dream. We had a very able competent knowledgeable guide who was always calm, approachable and went the extra mile on many occasions, from glueing my husband's shoes to kicking stones out of my way when I hurt my ankle, all done with kindness and good humour. We were also blessed with amazing weather so every day was a delight, not least the amiable company.

Cape Verde
Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands
This was a trip with some of the best hillwalking and mountaineering I have ever experienced. Our guide, Odair, was superb both as a mountain guide and as a source of information about Cape Verde.The ascent ( and even more the spectacular descent ) of the active volcano of Fogo was
amazing, with its drama, scenery and sheer exhilaration. The walking
on Sao Antao was truly memorable with walks through lush tropical valleys culminating in the stupendous Balcony walk. This was all s
upplemented by excellent food and accommodation most memorably at Leticia’s place at the base of Pico de Fogo.
The trip was not without its problems however. There were serious problems with flights getting off Fogo, back to Praia and on to Sao Vicente. The lack of information as to what was happening over a couple of days was frustrating and worrying. Odair made heroic efforts to deal with these problems but some part of the trip was lost.
In short an excellent trip but it might be advisable to do internal travel using the excellent and punctual ferry service rather than travelling by air. It might be difficult however to visit both Fogo and Sao Antao without having to resort to the unreliable and unpunctual internal air services.

Excellent introduction to a lovely island
Self-Guided Walking on Madeira
A very enjoyable self guided walk on a lovely island which was well organised on the ground. The hotels were fine and all the transfers worked well with helpful and friendly drivers. We were fortunate with the weather - warm and sunny with only one really wet day (Day 6). On that day we caught the bus rather than extending the walk into Funchal. We found the walks are not difficult though there is a steep road descent on day 5 down to Calheta. There are always taxis around offering their s ervices! By the end we'd perhaps had enough of levada walking which is lovely but inevitably gets a bit samey. We were disappointed on Day 2 to only do a half day walk on the Kings Levada and not along the coast because of erosion (?). The Kings Levada was superb at the far end but we were not sure why a longer walk could not have been devised while the path is being repaired. The GUIBO app was excellent and we rarely looked at the paper map and route instructions. We arrived a day early because of flight times on the Day 1 we did the alternative Day 2 walk from Portela to Porto da Cruz which was a really nice first walk though a steep descent into the town. As an introduction to the island this self guided walk is definitely recommended.

Cloud Forest, sunshine, and great company, on La Gomera
La Gomera - Jewel of the Canaries

A wonderful week of varied and well planned walks. Enekoiz is a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide who looked after us well and taught us a lot about the island. From the cloud forest to coastal paths there was always something new to see. La Gomera is a very beautiful island with a stunning range of flora.
Many thanks to Enekoiz, and our fellow travellers, for a memorable and hugely enjoyable week.

Variety is the spice of life on Spires and Ice
Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia
My first adventure with KE and I will jump at going on another.
Overall, everything went as promised and this itinerary has been well thought out. The 'W' circuit was hiked from West to East, which made for a gradual start with shorter and easier hikes to the climax of the last day view of Torres del Paine, a well earned treat. We had a rain and strong Patagonia winds on our ascent up the French Valley, and those with proper rain gear fared well. Note: those that took inferio
r rain jackets suffered, but the guides helped with extra clothes and aid to warm up.
Accommodation: We did 2 nights as planned at the Paine Grande and this was the least favourite as 6 people in 3 bunkbeds per room. Very difficult if you lucked out and got the top bunk as no guard rail or extra handles to go up the ladder. Quite loud - take earplugs. But this was near the start so soon forgotten. Next 2 sites were in a 'car' tent up on a platform with a sheltered ladder to access. I really liked this over the traditional crawl on the ground into the tent. It was comfortable but don't forget your headlamp as very dark inside. Other lodges were all very cosy and comfortable with private bathrooms.
Food- WOW, if you love lamb or beef, this is the tour for you. Every included dinner was exceptional, often with all you could eat lamb, cooked to perfection. Lunches on the trail included a large sandwich or empanadas or both, salad, dried or fresh fruit, trail bar, nuts. We often had too much and would give back the excess. Even the heartiest eater did not ever go hungry. We often joked we were eating our way through Argentina and Chile, and glad we were hiking to wear off excess calories.
Guides- We had 2 Chilean guides while on the W circuit, and 1 Argentinean guide for Fitz Roy area and all were exceptional and interacted with everyone in the group. I can't say enough great compliments about our KE guide- Louis. Exceptional, making friends with everyone as he met us on day 1 at the airport to saying goodbye. He melded the group and catered to everyone's needs and always made sure we were having the time of our lives. My vote for Guide of the Year. His daily explanation of what we were doing and what we should expect was often repeated. A best friend to all of us.
Hints- Chile and Argentina have different plugs. Take small bills for tips- US dollars also works everywhere, including the W circuit, but need to be in good condition. There are electrical outlets at every site on the W circuit.

Very Satisfied
Lost Cities and Coffee Trails of Colombia
Dani is an outstanding tour leader. He is knowledgeable about flora and fauna and shares this knowledge with each member of the group. He is tirelessly working to exceed everyone’s expectations on the trip. From offering dining options, directions to taking us individually to specific stores or dining spots when we request such. He is empathetic to the group members and no matter the varied personalities and hiking skill levels he happily worked with each and every one of us with the same leve l of enthusiasm and consciousness. Please make Dani guide of the year! I can’t imagine anyone exceeding what he did to make the trip a wonderful trip for each and every one of us! Many thanks to Dani and to KE!

A trek to savour.
Jebel Sahro Walking Holiday
I did the Edge of the Sahara trek immediately before this one so as to avoid flying more than necessary. It was thoroughly enjoyable, with much to see and treasure as memories, challenging in parts (including a less than spacious toilet tent!), the last day being a bit of a long, hot march. On the whole I preferred the Sahara trek, but the Jebel Sahro scenery was spectacular, and it was good to get some idea of how people live and farm in those dry mountains, and their tough lives. There were ni ne or ten of us doing the trek, and rarely have I enjoyed time with such lovely companions - that is of course never guaranteed, but I was in luck! The food on the trek was excellent and worked out well for a vegetarian such as I, although I did get forgotten for one dinner and had to ask for another bowl of soup rather than the meaty tajine offered. A note of caution - you may be taken to a "Berber pharmacy" on the return journey to Marrakech, where they also exist in the souk. They sell all kinds of herbal medicines of potentially dubious merit, but one thing that is sold is musk. The pharmacists will tell you that the musk is obtained from musk deer but without harming them. This is in all likelihood not true - musk deer are killed for their glands. Please don't buy musk.

An experience long to be treasured, but with lessons
Edge of the Sahara Trek
I was on the same trip as Alex of Chorley and I agree with everything she says, including how good it was for a vegan. It was hot and exhausting at times but that seemed only to enhance the experience of being in a completely new environment of flat stony desert with stones that had cracked from contrasting heat and cold, then dunelands, with occasional acacia and tamarisk trees for shade, beetle track marks in the sand. There were delightful moments when a free-running family of camels came for water at a well, cooking and eating sand bread under the stars, and the sight of a camel stealing oranges from our stores pursued by one of our marvellous crew. By luck, this was one of the best treks I have been on in terms of companions. But there were also important reminders of how life is changing there, villages of fine buildings built of mud, straw and stones that are becoming deserted and collapsing through drought, crop failures, increasing advancing of the desert, quite likely exacerbated by we travellers and our flying. So, with that cautionary note, this was a wonderful trip.

Costa Rica Walks and Wildlife
Costa Rica Walks and Wildlife
Costa Rica has long been on my bucket list, and it did not disappoint. Our guide Malo shared places, experiences and stories that felt truly unique to our group, even though other groups tours might be doing something similar. I appreciated that we were instructed not to feed or interact with wildlife, and to avoid single use plastic containers. Spotting exotic (to me) animals going about their business in their natural habitat was thrilling, and it happened over and over on this trip. We felt v ery lucky to see so many different species.

Manuel (Malo) was the best tour leader I've ever had! Extremely knowledgeable, responsible, organised, patient, and engaging. Great photographer, which added to the experience. Most of all, he really cared about our well-being, clearly loved his job, and had loads of energy and contagious enthusiasm.

Absolutely wonderful, great for vegans
Edge of the Sahara Trek
Absolutely wonderful. Logistics of pick up and drop offs to the airport great. Walking guide was local, incredibly knowledgeable, fun and friendly. The food was delicious and great for vegans! Every day Lassaam made sure we had a mid morning snack and a rest under the shade of a lone acacia tree. Lunch was soo excellent, prepared by a chef who managed to concoct the dishes from the veg which the camels carried. The camel leaders worked their socks off making sure our campsites were set up every night. Everything was provided for us ...matresses, sleeping bags, food, water. An absolutely wonderful experience!
