Key to KE Adventure Travel’s success in providing the very best adventure travel holidays is our team of dedicated and experienced staff
Whether answering the office phone, leading groups in the high mountains or preparing your evening meal, KE staff play a crucial part in ensuring you have a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable holiday.
KE Directors and Office Staff
Tim Greening and Glenn Rowley are still very much 'hands on' directors and when either of these seasoned travellers returns from a research trip full of enthusiasm for a new destination, we know we’re on to a winner.
The team of KE office staff is amongst the most experienced in the business, with the proven ability to set up and operate a worldwide programme of adventures. Each of them has adventure travel at heart and keeps their knowledge of KE holidays up-to-date by joining at least one trip a year. This depth of experience makes KE stand out from other adventure travel operators.
Talk to an Adventure Expert
When you contact KE, by phone or email, or visit our office, you will find the help and advice you need, from someone who has actually been on the trip and can give you the benefit of their first-hand experience. Although lots of useful information can be found in our brochures, dossiers and website, there’s no substitute to actually talking to an adventure expert - it really does make all the difference!
