Egypt by Sam Williams (Mar-12)

Having never visited Egypt before, I could only go by the experiences of others and the two years experience I have had learning about this historically rich country. One year on from the revolution, I felt safe and unaware of any disruption that once existed. Read more

Kenya by Anna Walkinshaw (Nov-11)

Floating in the infinity pool, drink in hand, spotting giraffes, monkeys and elephants in the distance from Elsa's Kopje in Meru National Park, I felt a million miles away from the Kenya I have been reading about in the news in the last few months.

The Seychelles by Charlotte Wilks (Nov-11)

Flying into Mahe airport, the story unfolds as I began to understand when people say this is the place where dreams are made off. Feeling totally immersed into local life as soon as I arrived, my Seselwa guide, Maxwell welcomed me with open arms and toothy grin as if to say - I told you I live in paradise! Read more

Turkey by Sam Williams (Oct-11)

An air-balloon ride was all I knew to expect from a night away in Cappadocia. Whilst a phenomenal way to welcome the morning, it was merely a fraction of the many wonders and adventures the region has to offer. Read more

Turkey by Sara Hughes (Oct-11)

Turkey by Sara Hughes
Without a shadow of a doubt, Istanbul is one of the great cities of the world - huge and sprawling with a stunning location straddling the Bosphorus. A familiar saying is that one can have breakfast in Europe, cross the river by ferry or road and have lunch in Asia. Indeed one of the first things that struck me were the hundreds of minarets, leaving me in no doubt that this is a capital very much with eastern traditions at its heart. Read more

Iran - The Land of the Unexpected by Justin Wateridge (Oct-11)

"Only one thing is predictable in Iran - and that is that nothing is predictable," quipped my guide. It was an offhand remark but one that was to ring true throughout my short stay in this wonderful land of the unexpected.

Tanzania by Rob Moller (Oct-11)

I was already in a dream like state before I left as I know Africa can really get under your skin. My last trip was in Southern Africa starting in Cape Town and heading North overland working our way up through Namibia and through the Caprivi strip to enter Botswana and finish at the almighty Vic Falls.

Tanzania by Victoria Holdsworth (Oct-11)

Your first day on Safari can be a daunting experience, worrying about bathroom stops, bumpy roads and particularly travelling with a family whether it will be entertaining enough for all to keep involved. Of all the worries the entertainment factor should not be a consideration; your guide will ensure that every step of the way is an adventure!

Tanzania by Emilie Amby (Oct-11)

Sitting with my morning coffee outside my tent, watching the sun rise over the Ngorongoro Crater, I think about the journey I have just made: ten days with A&K in the beautiful, wild and unforgettable Tanzania. This is my last day with the group; most of them are going home whilst I'm off on a new adventure; Zanzibar the Spice Island.

North East Argentina by Louise Mumford (Sep-11)

There are plenty of opportunities to ride horses on ranches in Argentina but not too many where you get to ride alongside the gauchos and watch them at work. A fiercely proud and traditional bunch of very macho guys, the gauchos or cowboys of Corrientes province have their own traditional costume suited to their hot and humid climate that is entirely different from the outfits worn in the Pampas near Buenos Aires and in Patagonia.

Guest Testimonial

Once again we have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday with A&K. There was a fascinating mix of location and camp styles and the particular sequence worked very well for us.
