Trips very well planned.

High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains

Excellent communication. Details taken care of. Itinerary very good and accurately described. We hadn't perhaps realised there was quite as much road travel involved (compared to a continuous trek). Had to climb Rysy after the big day before but we then had a free rest day. It was great that we had that flexibility. Have never had a guide quite like Jakub. He was amazing. Not just incredibly knowledgeable about the mountains but he could talk on any life subject. His passion for the Tartras ... shone through. He was direct yet funny, encouraging and supportive. He worked extremely hard on all the logistics.

Always easy to book and plan with KE

Gondogoro Peak and the Hushe Valley

This was a great trip with superb views, probably the most impressive I have experienced. The camps were well organised and the food plentiful. Mark was on the ball with all aspects of the trip. River crossings especially impressive. He did a great job with us all.

Tour de Monte Rosa

Great destination, guide , accommodation and people in small group. Any questions were answered by email by return and I was able to talk to an employee who had completed the trip at
the time of my booking. Loved the huts in the mountains particularly- all staff everywhere were friendly and helpful. I love to wake up and walk to a new destination in the mountains.

Fun family activity holiday in Portugal!

Family Adventures in the Algarve

We loved our family adventure holiday in Portugal, John, Vio and Dylan were so welcoming of us in their home and couldn't do enough for us, Each day we did fun different activities from surfing to kayaking, cycling and cliff jumping which were hugely inclusive for both adults and kids and ensured we all joined in. We loved being part of a group of like minded people and everyone got on well. Vio's home cooking was delicious. We are so glad we booked!

Great adventure

Game Trails of Zimbabwe & Botswana Lodge Safari

From day 1 everything was great. We had 2 guides Brian and Francis. Brian was a great cook for traditional dishes, his knowledge overwhelming. The roads were bad but with Francis at the wheel we could relax. Definitely will be booking with KE Adventure again.

Wonderful scenery, wonderful fellow hikers, wonderful guide

Tour de Monte Rosa

If you are fit and comfortable with tackling around 1,000 metres of ascent and descent in a single day at altitude, I'd highly recommend the Tour de Monte Rosa. The scenery is simply breathtaking throughout the route, and, unlike the Tour du Mont Blanc, you'll encounter far fewer people, making for a much quieter and more rewarding experience. One piece of advice: keep your backpack as light as possible—you'll appreciate every gram you leave behind on the climbs.

Fabulous scenery and treks

Fjords and Fjells of the Lofoten Islands

A fabulous trip. Accommodation was very comfortable (hot showers much appreciated). Leader Flo did everything he could to make the trip a success, even if the weather was not quite what we hoped for. Transport worked well, and the scenery and variety is fantastic. A very enjoyable and challenging trek. Thoroughly recommend it.

Great experience

Fjords and Fjells of the Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten are amazing, with great walking. But be prepared for all weathers, and any necessary changes to the itinerary. On an extra note, if you are spending time in Bodo, there are a number of great saunas you can book online - cooling off in the harbour as the sun 'sets' was a wonderful experience!

Mt Kasbek Adventure

Mount Kazbek Climb

I really enjoyed this Georgian adventure. Our intrepid group of just three met up in Tbilisi. I booked two extra nights at the start of the trip to explore this vibrant city as there is much to see and do and the sightseeing tour included on day 1 of the itinerary only scratches the surface. Flights into Georgia arrive at anti-social times and I would recommend booking the extra couple of days at the start to allow a bit of well needed relaxation and the excellent Georgian food and wine ahead ... of the more strenuous efforts to come!

Our delightful guide Tamar accompanied us on our journey north along the Military Highway and we stopped at various points of interest along the way. This is a busy route used by lorry traffic to and from the Russian border only a handful of miles beyond the small town of Stepantsminda. From here we enjoyed a couple of walks to aid our acclimatisation. The walk from Juta to Tetu peak through alpine meadows filled with beautiful flowers in July was particularly attractive.

In Stepantsminda we met up with our climbing guide Tite who was to accompany us for the next five days and said our goodbyes to Tamar. The ascent of Mt Kasbek begins with more stunning flower filled meadows to the attractively situated and very comfortable Altihut, which is reminiscent of the mountain huts you find in Austria and Switzerland. Our kit bags were transported by horse directly from Stepantsminda to the higher Meteo Hut which is the ‘base-camp’ for the summit. The trip notes makes reference to carrying just a daypack, but this is misleading as you do need crampons, waterproofs and some warm gear to cross the Gergeti glacier before reaching Meteo Hut where you are reunited with your baggage. There is also a weight limit on what the horses will carry so packing light and efficiently is important. It is possible to leave unwanted bits of baggage and a change of clothes in both the hotel in Tbilisi and Stepantsminda.

Meteo Hut is an old Soviet Weather station situated at 3650m, below the towering peak of Mt Kasbek. The accommodation here is not for the faint hearted! It’s a busy place filled with climbers of many nationalities some staying in the old weather station itself and many camping around on the rocky plateau. Conditions are spartan and the dormitories not at all clean. The small number of long drop toilets serving what is a large base camp community are some of the worst I have every experienced in 30 years of adventure holidays, so be prepared! Consequently, the area around the hut is a bit of an environmental disaster. That said there was a spirit of camaraderie amongst our small team! Our guide Tite was clearly well known and respected by everyone including the hard working and friendly staff who ran the small café and kitchen where we ate our meals and so we were well looked after and fed. We were also able to enjoy a few beers at surprisingly reasonable prices considering they have all been transported by helicopter or horse!

We did a walk up to a ridge at 3900m the day before our ascent to aid acclimatisation. There is a small ‘church’, in reality an old 1950’s cable car cabin with a cross welded on the top, held firm to the rock by steel hawsers - the trip notes inaccurately describe something rather more romantic!

We left at 2am on our summit day after being fed hearty cheese omelettes by our friends in the kitchen before leaving. Tite proved a great guide and led us through the darkness across the lateral glacial moraine (you do need a decent head torch). We put on our crampons and roped together on reaching the snow and ice slopes leading to the base of the peak. Tite initially set a brisk pace but we were all now well acclimatised and we overtook many of the other groups on the mountain. He slowed the pace expertly as we got higher and higher. The gradients of the snow and ice is initially gently and easy to walk with crampons and trekking poles put gradually steepens but by this time the sun had risen and the warmth of its rays really helped to spur us on. We reached a plateau just below the summit after nearly 6 hours. It would be possible to wait at this plateau if you didn’t fancy the last section of the climb. We were also able to leave our walking poles and rucksacks here which lightened the load for the final push. The slope to the summit is steep (probably around 45 degrees) with some steps cut into the ice and fixed ropes which facilitated our last 100m of ascent. We all made it to the top and celebrated our triumph. I have to say there were many groups on the mountain who didn’t make the summit so putting up with the conditions at Mateo Hut, the acclimatisation programme and pace set by Tite was clearly key to our success. Tite proved a really expert guide who I trusted implicitly and it was a pleasure to spend time with him on the mountain. Our ascent and descent back to Mateo Hut took 10 hours and were able to celebrate our success with a few more beers and a bottle of Georgian wine.

The following day we descended from Meteo Hut across the glacier and down to the very comfortable family run guest house in Stepantsminda for a well needed shower and rest, before heading back to Tbilisi the next day.

I highly recommend this very adventurous holiday which is a true mountaineering experience in a remote location. All the guides we encountered were fantastic, but special thanks must go to Tite for getting the whole group to the top of Mt Kasbek. This is a top trip that I shall certainly never forget.

Great trip

The Ultimate Fann Mountains Trek

Excellent guide. Arrangements worked well. Combination of mountains and cities also worked well. Accommodation good. Food hygiene an issue.

7 days full on walking

Through the Heart of the Balkans

Great walking, with no free days or sight seeing. 75 miles 4000 metres up 5000 metres down. 7 days walking. Probably not a 5 level trip.

I had a fantastic trip and wouldn't change a thing

Self-Guided 2-Week Tour du Mont Blanc

Every trip I have done with KE has been excellent: from the efficiency, friendliness and knowledge of the staff in the office to the experience and support of trek leaders. I have just completed my first self guided trip with KE and everything went smoothly.

Amazing wildlife safari in Southern Africa!

Game Trails of Zimbabwe & Botswana Lodge Safari

We have just returned from this fantastic trip. We had some incredible wildlife encounters including being just a few meters from a white rhino and her 2 week old calf. We were blown away by the number of elephants, zebra, impala and giraffes seen. In total we counted 32 different animal species! Each of the national parks were totally different with a range of habitats and scenery. I found Chobe particularly pretty with a stunning sunset river cruise. We travelled in July and mornings and ... evenings are cold - layers and warm hats are a must. Whilst we saw a lot and that inevitably means a lot of travelling. There are some very long road trips during this holiday - and the roads in Zimbabwe are not good! In particular the day that we travelled into Zimbabwe was a 10 hour drive plus a couple of hours to get across the border. Another notable travel day was between Matabo and Hwenge - the road is non existent so very slow going and extremely bumpy. The accommodation was fantastic- every hotel and lodge was different and all very comfy. Food exceeded my expectations - especially meals cooked by our fabulous guides.

A trip to earn the views via the ascents

Secret Switzerland - Tour des Combins

This is a good trip, tough but non-technical walking and stunning views, the number of 360 degree panoramas, of mountains in all directions, is very good.

Just about perfect

Walking South Africa

I booked this trip as I was wary of long drives in safari vehicles and being distant from the wild life. I was really impressed by the number of wildlife encounters and their quality and variety. We did get to see the big 5 but South Africa is so much more than that. The scenery is amazing and the accommodation and food of a good standard. The walks are, I would say, moderate to challenging. I consider myself fit for my age (58) bit did struggle on some of the walks; I don't feel I missed out ... at all by not completing some sections. The group ability was a bit above my pay grade so the pace was a bit much. Anyone who takes regular walks in the hills in the UK should be fine. Finally Dylan and Sipho were excellent guides. Very organised, knowledgeable (especially Dylan and birds) and understanding at all times.
A brilliant holiday. Thanks.

Incredible and varied trip

Walking South Africa

This was a wonderful and varied trip that fully met our expectations. We learned a lot about the flora, fauna, history and politics of South Africa, and were lucky enough to see the Big Five plus a host of other animals and birds on our game drives. The trip was a good balance of walking and game viewing. Our tour leader, Dylan, was excellent throughout the trip, being passionate and knowledgeable about the countries, wildlife and environments we visited. The accommodation throughout the trip ... was fantastic and very varied – the highlights undoubtedly being Makuwa Safari Lodge in Kruger, the Zululand 'tented' lodge in the bush and, with its amazing views of the Drakensberg and perfect stargazing opportunities, the Thendele Lodge in Royal Natal National Park. Overall, a fantastic and unforgettable experience and highly recommended. Two caveats, however. Firstly, although KE ranks the trip as "3 - Leisurely", some of the walks are described by KE's local partner as "challenging". They were well within our own capabilities, but sadly this was not the case for all members of our group. Secondly, the drive to the Zulu battlefields and Rorke's Drift is very long and there is not much there other than a couple of small museums – which I'm not sure is enough to justify such a long and tiring day on the vehicle.

Spectacular trip in the Swiss alps

Via Alpina Trekking - Meiringen to Lenk

Our trip to the Bernese Oberland was awesome. Spectacular scenery, great food and lodging. KE did a great job with communication and organizing our trip. Highly recommended for anyone in good walking shape as there are some quite steep portions although the daily walking distance was not all that long.
