The nearly 2 week ride across the southern cape through various gravel passes was at times challenging but extremely rewarding if you have that new gravel bike pack it up and send yourself to South Africa and you will both have a fantastic time.

Great trip, great guide Alice and great people in the group.

Guide was brilliant, he pushed us harder when we wanted to, and moved some events around to make best use of the weather.

This was a very very good gravel cycling trip. As frequently is the case, it comes down to people with Tellis and Charles being competent and compelling guides and great hosts to their country and my fellow riders being a great bunch making me laugh and learn a lot. The cycling was one of the best, truly demanding grade 10 gravel cycling, landscapes of Western Cape are amazing and Cape Town is in my opinion a singularly beautiful (albeit troubled) place.

I would highly highly recommend this 7-day guided hiking adventure in the wild part of the Algarve staying at the Eco-Lodge with Jon and Vio. I learned so much, hiked steeper trails than I imagined possible, learnt how to boogie board and ate the most delicious food!

A stunning cycle along the gravel roads of the Western Cape, Well organised and supported by a great team.

KE consistently has better itineraries and guides than some of the other companies. Andre is a great trip leader, a character, full of smiles/laughter, a great heart, loves his country and the mountains, incredibly knowledgeable and able to manage different personalities and situations in a very nice way. I would rate him at the top with some of my other favourite guides.

This trek was one of the most healing experiences of my life. The extraordinary views coupled with an amazing local team made the trek a wonderful experience. I have to mention our group leader Hiren Lama, his love for Nepal and his extensive knowledge of its history, people and nature just made the trek so much more meaningful and connected.
Thank you KE

Really great cycling, very hilly, spectacular scenery, very good leaders, unexpectedly plush accommodation, exceeded expectations, would thoroughly recommend.

Loved the experience of this culture and region

This was a fun and challenging trip through the vineyards and orchards of the Douro Valley. Lots of opportunities to try the port wine. Stays at lovely small hotels and chance to walk through small villages. Being self-guided, you can walk at your own pace and take breaks as you wish. A great experience!

I've done multiple KE trips, but this one was special because of the opportunity to stay with a remarkable family at their beautiful eco lodge and get to know them while exploring the stunning Algarve ecosystem. The trails led to isolated pristine beaches where we could enjoy a swim before continuing our walk. The food at our lodging was outstandingly good. We enjoyed many stories and laughs with our hosts.

The walking is peaceful and beautiful through Mediterranean coastal landscapes, with quite a few swimming opportunities. You are constantly reminded of the rich history of this region and there are many fascinating ancient sites to explore. There are some charming places to stay, and Turkish breakfasts are outstanding. Going up a snowy mountain was an exciting addition. We did the two self guided weeks back to back, which makes for an even richer experience.

The Algarve hiking was so beautiful and diverse. Challenging but doable with trails up and down the coastal hills, often leading down to one of the beaches (boogie boarding with wetsuits one morning!). Lunch on the beach often. Guides
and hosts are amazing and so hospitable with knowledge, preparation and amazing food and stretching and yoga in the morning! They made this trip magical.

The host family for your stay in the Algarve is warm and welcoming and will make you feel very special. The hikes, food and overall experience was one of the best I've ever encountered.
