My friend climbed the Rongai Route with Exodus and had only good things to say and highly recommeded the trip to me. All I can say is that the trip with Exodus was everything I had hoped for, a brilliant experience!
Reaching the highest point of Africa
Tosha from the African Walking Company was calm, patient and pleasant and was a pleasure to have as our leader.
Although we all want to get to the summit of Kilimanjaro, take the time to enjoy the journey getting there.
A fantastic trip combining exercise, culture, great cuisine, stunning scenery and loads of fun. The family hotel was so welcoming and comfortable. Can’t wait to do another walking holiday.
For me being a bit of a 'foodie' I absolutely loved being invited into the kitchen to see our dinner being cooked and being able to get stuck in and help. Launching ourselves into waterfalls to cool down was definately a must. Pompeii was truly incredible.
Superb tour leader. Great local knowledge and network of local contacts all of which made us so welcome. She knew how to have fun and made sure we did too. Very professional and approachable. Couldn't have asked for a better leader.
If you want to see Cuba before it all changes, go now! See it from the road; cycle through the bits the tour buses would rush past and see the real Cuba. The hotels are fine, the food is better than what the Cubans get and the tour guide was amazing.
I enjoyed stopping off for breaks from the rides in the villages and sometimes in peoples' houses. The minibus driver would always have water, fruit and other snacks available to keep us going. The stay in the rainforest lodge was fab. The history provided us by our guide brought everything we saw into perspective - you wouldn't have got that out of a guidebook on your own!
Hose was an amazing guide. He treated us like friends, really wanted to inspire us about his country, had a great sense of humour, was extremely well organised, and it all just ticked over perfectly.
August was hot, very hot. Obviously while you are cycling the breeze keeps you cooler, but as soon as you stop you realise how daft you've been to go out cycling. If you aren't very good with heat, avoid mid summer! Having said that the beer tastes oh so good in the heat! And its nice to go out at night in a T-shirt!Don't expect to stay in touch with the world with internet apps. Infrastructure currently not there, very slow and expensive. Just relax and pretend it 1960!
A very enjoyable trip. Members of the group got on well together, which helped the trip go well.
For a first timer like me, summitting Toubkal was just awesome. The hard graft in ice and snow to the top was worth every grunt and breath.
Our group leader Mohamad was excellant. Lots of local knowlege of geography (naturally) with local customs, social life and economy. Helped us appreciate where we were more.
Yes! read and understand the course notes. some menbers of our group didn`t and were a little caught out.
For a mountain lover this trip is a must do. From day one there are views round every corner until you reach Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) and the mountains are there in front of you,behind you in fact all round you. Magical.
We were unfortunate in that it was cloudy when we reached ABC but the following morning the sunrise was stunning and made it difficult leave the views and start the long trek home.
Prasant Subedi was a superb leader in that he quietly got on with his job of keeping everybody informed as to what we were seeing and what lay ahead which together with his knowledge and enthusiasm for the area made the trip. His support staff were again well organised and very attentive whilst we were on the trail looking after our safety and welfare.
There are a few long days especially especially when the weather turns damp and windy as it did on our trip at the end of October. The good thing was that by then we were well aclimatised and arrived at our nightly destination tired and damp but contented. Follow the pre-trip instructions and you won't go far wrong. Whilst you can charge your batteries (Camera and mobile) at the lodges it is recommended that you carry spares as the cold can drain them quite quickly.
An excellent introduction to fascinating countries. Vietnam was very special with wonderful people and great food. Cambodia and Angkor Wat was simply amazing. Guides great, very warm and welcoming and made the trip.
The first glimpse of Angkor Wat
In Vitnam the group leader made the trip and literally went the extra mile every day.
Travel light and take as few clothes as possible. Plenty of laundry opportunities
I had a great week in North Cyprus … loved the place, loved the people, loved the trees, loved the sea, loved the food. It was my first trip of this kind… and it was a good start.
Walking along that long-long shore barefooted on the sand and in the sea. Adoring the trees in the woods.
Ros is great. She knew everything about everything. And she is very good company.
Don't worry, be happy!
This was a fabulous trip, not exactly a holiday, more a lifetime experience. If you’ve never done anything like this before, or are not sure if it’s for you, I’d advise to just book it quickly before you talk yourself out of it – believe me, it’s not something you’ll regret (apart from maybe on summit night…but that’ll soon pass!). Even if you don’t make it all the way to the top, you’ll have an amazing experience which will stay with you forever. We had a great group of people to trek with, and somehow we all made it to to the top.
For me, reaching to Gilman’s Point at sunrise was probably the most emotional moment, even more than Uhuru. It’s hard work getting there and the sense of achievement coupled with the sunrise and the sight of actually seeing the curvature of the earth can be pretty overwhelming!
When I asked how many times he’d been to the summit of Kilimanjaro, he looked me square in the eyes and told me he'd never done it before (!) – fortunately he was joking, he’d actually done it over 100 times and his knowledge and expertise were fantastic. The guides too were wonderful, with loads of experience and we had complete confidence in them. They regularly checked everyone for symptoms of AMS, and kept a close eye on those who were feeling it more than others.
Don’t worry too much about it. The vast majority of the walking is not too hard, there’s no rush and and there’s plenty of time to rest and get your strength back each night. However, the summit night is extremely difficult, but do-able – it’s just a case of keeping your head down and keep going. It won’t be the physical exhaustion that gets you – but the altitude might, and you can’t do anything about that! Remember, everyone in the group will be fighting their own internal battles, the slowest people will go at the front and you’re unlikely to hear anyone complaining about that! You only need to be ‘reasonably’ fit – if you don't make it to the top due to altitude sickness (which is the most likely cause), the disappointment is only going to be made worse if you’ve trained as if it’s the Olympics! Also, don't believe all the urban myths surrounding Diamox - some people swear by it and others say it's totally unnecessary - each to thier own. Do your own research regarding pros & cons and make your own mind up.
An intensive introduction to a wonderful country. Hikes and bikes took us off the beaten tracks. Very well organised and we were well looked after. Thoroughly recommended.
Cycling through back paths on the Mekong delta, where kids rushed out to see us, (as they don't see tourists there), showed us the contrasts of the country, but also how naturally friendly the people are, even those not trying to make a living out of tourists.
Never without a smile, efficient and solicitous, he gave us confidence, and his knowledge of the whole country and its history made the necesary long distances interesting.
Cold in the North, very hot in the South. Tell the guide if you get a dicky tummy, ancient ginger will fix it better than our drugs.
A varied, enjoyable trip with something for everyone. Cycling generally to the mderate end of the scale, but with some more significant climbs to add a suitable level of challenge. Be prepared for some extended transfer spells on the minibus.
Sitting in the volcanic hot pools drinking cocktails..... And of course some of the cycling....!!
Rob was great. Always aware of the needs of the group and always approachable. The trip passed flawlessly. The local guides provided sound support throughout.
Be prepared for some moisture if your trip is anything like our second week. It might be worth having an extra set of gear over what you might expect.
