Amazing mountain scenery!

Everest the Hard Way Trek

Excellent trek to Everest Base Camp (the Hard Way) with great support from our Sherpas and Porters. Hard work with the altitude but well worth it for the amazing scenery.

A fantastic trek with stunning scenery throughout

Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Sanctuary

This trek combing the Annapurna Circuit and Sanctuary kept on giving. We saw stunning mountain scenery from the first day trekking and throughout. Everything was well-organised and it was great that all food was provided. The accommodation was comfortable and at lower altitudes had communal spaces with a fire, however at higher altitudes sometimes many layers and thick jackets were needed. We saw monkeys on a couple of days, we dipped in hot pools, visited a monastery, saw several stunning ... lakes with amazing reflections and many birds of prey. We were well acclimatized for the altitude trekking over the Thorong La and it was incredible to see the sunrise as we climbed. Most of the many layers of clothing from the cold early morning start were shed as we descended in the sunshine. After the altitude of the pass, trekking to the Sanctuary seemed much easier and we were rewarded with another stunning sunrise. I think the trek is graded well and would definitely recommend the combined circuit and sanctuary as the two parts are different and it would be difficult to choose between them. Overall, an amazing experience.

Wonderful Walking on Captivating Cape Verde

Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands

Cape Verde is a walkers paradise with its combination of volcanic scenery and lush vegetation. Lots of steep up and even steeper down with not much flat in between but the amazing panoramas just keep coming. This holiday delivers!

An Amazing Trek Start to Finish

Around Manaslu Trek

What an experience! I've done many treks but The Manaslu Circuit takes the top spot. The scenery is breathtaking and constantly changing. It was hard at times but we had a great supportive team who paced us well. The best day for me was on the first "rest day" when with good weather we did a 5 mile walk to the Ping Gyen Gompa at the foot of Manaslu. We were 3 of a group of 16 for the trek. But what a great bunch of people the others turned out to be. I hope our paths will cross again.

A Spectacular Trip

Guatemala's Magnificent Seven

A great trekking trip. Nice to have a mix of hotels and camping. The walking is quite challenging with regular 1200m up/down at altitude and quite a lot of early starts. The sunrises were amazing as the weather was usually clear at that time of day. A good itinerary covering quite a distance with some of the other volcanoes to be climbed always in view. Nice to have a rest day of Lake Atitlan with a lot of different options. Jerry the guide and his team were so friendly and efficient making ... sure everything was well organised for us.

A great trekking holiday

Guatemala's Magnificent Seven

This was a great trekking holiday with a nice mixture of hotels & camping. The treks were quite challenging averaging 1200m up & down at altitude on various types of path with some very early starts. The sunrises were fantastic as the weather was usually clear on top at that time of day. A good mix of volcanoes to visit in various Guatemalan locations, it was good to follow the views of 'our' volcanoes as we climbed each one. A nice rest day on Lake Atitlan with a variety of options to make the ... most of the location. The food was excellent and we used a nice mix of local restaurants and 'camp' food was excellent given the tent cooking space!. The lead guide Jerry was brilliant & his team of cook & logistics helped back up guiding as well. Every was extremely well organised & ran as planned.

Trip of a lifetime

The Galapagos Islands Southern Cruise

An amazing holiday from being met at the airport by someone with all of our documentation and then led every step of the way through the daily itineraries.
The wildlife was stunning and keeping 2m away was sometimes difficult as the animals ruled the paths!! The snorkelling was great with a big variety of fish and wildlife. The guides were very good and knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions. The food on board was excellent especially bearing in mind the size of the kitchen.

Created Fantastic Memories

Best of Northern India

A holiday of a lifetime. We combined a fantastic trek in the Himalayas, seeing Everest and the Northern India golden Triangle. The Taj Mahal is something else when you see it in person. Lots of unforgettable memories made.

Amazing mountain scenery and amazing Nepalese people

The Ultimate Everest Trek

This was our first trip to Nepal and it didn’t disappoint.Milan and his team were exceptional in looking after us on our trek and so cheerful with it.They went above and beyond even rescuing one of the group off the Cho La pass. Milan and Modam were especially helpful in communicating my food requirements given I have food allergies. Nothing was too much trouble. The trek itself was tough made tougher with most of our group coming down with coughs and colds and I wouldn’t underestimate ... the level of fitness required for this trek and allowance for the effects of altitude. We could have done with a few more days to acclimatise. Microspikes were essential on the glacier and Cho La pass. EBC has to be done once despite the crowds. Our route until then avoided the crowds. We were lucky to have amazing weather blue skies but very cold with down jacket essential. It is worth having a few days in Kathmandu at the beginning and end of your trip at the excellent Shanker hotel to allow time to recover from the trek and see the cultural side. Bhaptapur a taxi ride from the hotel was well worth a visit to see its Hindu and Buddhist temples and palaces. We also did the Chitwan safari extension which was good for wildlife and a bird watching paradise with elephant walks (watch out for leeches though) would recommend staying at the excellent Tharu lodge. We wished we had booked an extra night in Kathmandu as our return flight form Chitwan meant we had a long wait for our international flight later in the day.
In short a trip of a lifetime.Nepal is a very special place.

Stunning Full On Immersive Journey

Ultimate Overland - Coast to Coast Southern Africa

This was an incredible experience traversing the Southern African continent from coast to coast. Perhaps even more memorable than the stunning animal/bird encounters was the opportunity to take part in what was essentially an epic trip of discovery on many levels. Each day brought new highlights (although the Zimbabwean roads unfortunately could not in any circumstances be described as a highlight!) The success of the trip depended to a huge extent on the quality of our 2 guides and they were ... both amongst the best I have encountered in many KE trips. Not only did they drive nearly 6000 kilometres and provide superb food for various dietary requirements, they were an amazing source of information on all wildlife and history and went out of their way to ensure we had the best experience possible. This was all done with good humour in sometimes challenging circumstances. The memory of Max’s laugh will cheer me up for a long time to come. It is worth noting that there are some very long drives on some dreadful roads and the drive times were often considerably more than indicated. Also the camping (a real highlight) involved a considerable amount of participation by everyone. Perhaps the trip grade was slightly misleading in these respects? What to bear in mind is that this is a 'Pioneer' trip with all that entails, and approached in this manner an unforgettable life-enhancing opportunity will be the reward.

Easy on the eyes; hard on the feet

Traverse of the Jotunheimen

Don't let the relative lack of elevation gain deceive you; this is a demanding trek, well worth the grade of 8. The problem lies in the terrain, which is largely composed of sharply pointed rocks. This is the only trek I have taken where my feet felt beat up at the end (and I have done many treks). Having said that, this was a fabulous trip. The scenery was gorgeous and the itinerary had some fun elements including the walk on Svellnosbrean Glacier, the traverse of Besseggen Ridge,and the ... climb of Galdhøpiggen (the latter of which we did in a July snowstorm). And the food at most of the lodges was beyond compare. I highly recommend this trip, sore feet notwithstanding.

Excellent guide ensured we got the most out of this trip

Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia

Although this was her first time as a guide on a KE trip, Pili's previous guiding experience, excellent knowledge of the area (including it's history, geography, geology, flora, fauna and folklore as well as restaurants and local attractions) and willingness to be proactive ensured that we got the most from this trip. An example of the latter is that it was announced on the day before we were due to visit the Perito Moreno glacier that all roads would be shut due to forecast high winds. Pili ... therefore arranged for us to visit late afternoon on the day before. This made for a long day but there were fewer visitors late in the day and had we not done this, we would have missed out on seeing it altogether.
We visited in shoulder rather than high season and were surprised at how busy some of the trails were, particularly the steep sections up to Lago Torre in Torres del Paine NP and to Lago de los Tres in Las Glaciares NP. At least for the former, the KE trip has the advantage of staying at Refugio Chileno the night before so you can get up to the viewpoint before the worst of the crowds (though for us the towers were in cloud) - you just meet them as come down. We were happy to spend a day walking to Cerro Torre in Las Glaciares and an afternoon walking in the private Huemules reserve - quieter but some equally specctacular views.

Incredible journey through southern Africa

Ultimate Overland - Coast to Coast Southern Africa

This really was an incredible trip that packed lots in. A great way to see the varied landscapes of Southern Africa and experience the wildlife, including the big 5 close up! There's a lot of driving, putting tents up and down - but it's worth it!

Pick up a Toucan

Costa Rica Walks and Wildlife

Overall a good package to see the wildlife and people of Costa Rica, you travel by bus to many different locations and experience most of the differing climates and natural habitats. The walks are not hard by distance but the ground is usually undulating mainly up and the ground can be stony the heat and humidity is the most difficult factor. It can also rain a lot but warm rain, overall the experience is enjoyable.
