Central America Trekking Hiking Trips

Andorra is a beautiful country and the Exodus trip perfectly captures the essence of it via the organised walking trips. It is a mountainous area, as such, be prepared for walking at higher altitudes and a reasonable amount of uphill sections, as such, a good personal physical condition is recommended. You will be rewarded with spectacular scenery and panoramic views of the area. Alfonso is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area and attentive to the needs of the group with impeccable organisation to ensure everyone gets the maximum enjoyment from the trip. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary then I would highly recommend this trip.

I really enjoyed listening to the local guide who explained the history of Lima, Peru, and what they are doing to prepare for its 500th anniversary. Our local guide in the Cusco area was very interesting and enjoyable also. Seeing how the colors were made for weaving at the llama and alpaca farm was very interesting also. I enjoyed touring the Incan ruins... they were a lot more interesting than I had ever expected. The many varieties of Peruvian and Ecuadorian cuisine were very tasty. The hotel staff and the staff on our ship were all very accommodating.

I really enjoyed this week, Activity level 4 in Early May. Cortijo Rosario, where we stayed is in a lovely position, perched above Algámitas/ looking across to two large peaks, with a pool (which was warm enough for me to swim later in the week), nice flowers at this time of year and swallows nesting on the way in chittering and swooping around the way in. I was in room 5, very comfortable as a single person in a twin; facing east-ish so nice for sunrise. Bed was comfortable for me, en-suite with shower, shutters worked, small safe, clean. Information in room has little in apart from a nice history and safe place instructions. Needs more work; add emergency night time contact (no staff at nighttime which works well, though I wondered what to do if emergency lighting which came to the on once stayed on longer) for instance. Everything else was clearly gone through and the next days info on a whiteboard. Selection of teas, coffees and biscuits were perfect for my needs in the bar area. Dinner inside some nights, outside on others (sometimes need extra layers for those nights). All staff friendly, made us feel welcome. Activity level 4 has a busy schedule which I liked, lots to do and see; I didn’t use much of the other downstairs communal facilities, though noted games, books, and spare poles for instance. I enjoyed every day, even rain pouring out of first floor pipes in town the first day (Nb unfortunately lots of rain damage to the roads from the past few months storms; did make for a lush green landscape). Each day is different, a variety of walks/ activities, the two local peaks the first two days, both worth doing, even in some fog on day 2, I still enjoyed the wide variety of wildflowers in early May (spotted more than 30 different ones), bird calls, and butterflies (spotted around 9 different ones). Then we did a meadows, monastery, valley, and the lovely Setinel destination walk, seeing eagles, vultures, mulberries, croaking frogs/ toads, and what looked like it could have been a nightingale perched in front of me briefly. Worth the 3 hours travel going to/ from Seville on the day off; I liked getting lost in the numerous narrow winding streets, the view of the round tower from a bridge, and the Alcazar that was a nice peaceful end to the day ( Nb buy tickets well in advance if you can navigate the online payments system); I ran out of time for the cathedral and to try out at the recommended restaurant. Also if day 5 gorge tickets are early enough, I can also recommend the 3 hours in Ronda extra; I enjoyed an online trail I found, my favourite was the steep walk down and back up to see the new bridge from a ruined house just above the waterfalls, below the sheer cliffs, which is free ( you also get a good view of what looks like cliff arch); there are many paid for alternatives to what I did; and again I ran out of time. The gorge wall walk is fun and not scary for me, though busy at times; nb I have a fear of edges with long sheer drops and this didn’t at all trigger me. The last walk is a crags and meadows walk around an hour away; again eagles and vultures, some closer this time; also wild black pigs and a couple of black shapes gliding down in front of me escaping an eagle, and some apricot shaped almonds near the town. I was really happy with each day and wouldn’t have changed anything except the fog on the top of Pennon crag. It was a group of 10; all nice, friendly people. In comparison with the Sierra de Aitana walk I did last fall, this was easier, walked at a comfortable pace for me, with plenty of time for me to look at the things that caught my eye, though each day was further/ longer time out, about 25% more steps, though less difficult climbs/ descents and a lot less slippy. There was much more driving this time. There was less flexibility, using hired mini-buses mostly, not their own, therefore need to stick to the advertised schedule. Food much more refined, veggie meals looked much better/ more varied , though probably food much less authentic. Overall I enjoyed them equally and recommend doing both as different enough from each other. And I managed to navigate the new EU system, though needed to register again going back home, in plenty of time for the flight.

Our group of 5 people had an unforgettable Tanzania adventure with Kilisa Tours & Safaris, combining a 5-day mountain hiking experience with a 4-day Tanzania wildlife safari. From the first communication to the end of the trip, everything was professionally organized and exceeded our expectations. We booked our hiking trip with Kilisa Tours because of their strong reputation for Mount Kilimanjaro trekking and Tanzania safari tours, and they truly delivered exceptional service. The mountain guides, porters, and cook were highly experienced, friendly, and very supportive throughout the trek. The team made sure we were safe, motivated, and comfortable every day on the mountain. The safari portion of our trip was equally amazing. Our safari guide was knowledgeable about Tanzania wildlife, national parks, and local culture. During the 4-day safari, we experienced incredible game drives and saw many animals in their natural habitat. The safari vehicle was comfortable, clean, and perfect for photography and wildlife viewing. What makes Kilisa Tours & Safaris stand out among Tanzania tour operators is their excellent customer service, fast communication, attention to detail, and well-planned itineraries. Every transfer, accommodation, and activity was arranged smoothly, making our Tanzania holiday stress-free and enjoyable. If you are looking for the best Tanzania safari company, Mount Kilimanjaro trekking operator, or a reliable local tour company in Tanzania, we highly recommend Kilisa Tours & Safaris. They provided us with a true 5-star hiking and safari experience, and we would definitely book with them again in the future.

This was a marvellous trip. The 🚌was very capable and comfortable; the driver was excellent; the guide was incredible and the route was amazing. All accomodation and food was good. I would have no reservations in recommending AAT-Kings for this trip to anyone considering travelling to the SA outback - particularly this year (2026) as the heavy rains have promoted growth and life not seen for a generation.

We weren't too sure about travelling in a coach, but the urge to see Lake Eyre in full flood was stronger and AAT Kings SA Outback Adventue was the perfect trip to do so. The communications were frequent and helpful, the paperwork explaining the trip and the sights we would see was informative. And then there were our guides Anna and Terry (Driver). They, together with our fellow travellers, made the trip so much fun and enjoyable. Cannot thank them enough! Every aspect of the trip was good, from the travel spiel, to the places we visited, the people we travelled with, the people we met along the way, the sights you see (amazing!!!!), and the food you eat. Every time we hear Sweet Caroline from here on in will remind us of this wonderful trip. And you know your trip was the best when you really don't want to farewell your fellow travellers and your guides.
