What an amazing time spent with great people, a wonderful and knowledgeable local guide, and the most welcoming, hospitable hosts who served the best meals I’ve ever had. There were no low points on the this journey except for my short taxi ride to the airport whenever I realized my trip had officially ended.I will be returning for another wild ride.

Thank you kook, for taking the initiative and effort to put together the trips, first Nepal and now Albania, both trips have just been smash hits for me. The food, the adventures with new friends, the beers and wines we all had, the crystal clear water. Kook, Brynn, Rys, Annie, Zach, Justina, Brandi, Britney, Both Rachels, Morgan. And of course Jasmin, I’ll miss every one of yall. Please keep in touch guys.

Albania was my first trip with Kooks Wild Ride and it was even more amazing than I could have imagined. Our group was lucky enough to be guided by both Kook and Brynn and they were so warm, welcoming, and inclusive. It really felt like our whole group was family and I had an amazing time experiencing the beauty of Albania while making lasting connections with everyone. Our tour guide in Albania was so knowledgeable and wonderful, he fit right in with the group. Our accommodations and food were also INCREDIBLE. I had the best time being in the mountains and on the river with this group and I cannot wait to plan another trip with Kook.

BOOK THE TRIP!!!I went to South Africa & Zimbabwe as my very first international trip — and my first trip with Kook’s Wild Ride. Kook and her team could not have curated a better experience. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, the accommodations were incredible, and the memories are truly once-in-a-lifetime.From safaris & sunsets to meeting fantastic new people, this trip completely exceeded my expectations. I am already looking forward to my next trip with Kook!

I cannot stop taking Kook's Wild Ride trips. This was my fifth one and somehow they are the absolute best trips of my life. Some of these people were strangers, some I hadn't seen for 10 years. Yet we are now all best friends. We laughed together, cried together, sang together. Peru is such a culturally rich and amazing country and you will not see it any better way than with Kook's Wild Ride. Kook creates the most beautiful, spiritual, adventurous journey that will surely change your life and your soul. The things you see and the experiences you have are indescribable. I will never stop going on these trips. It is the places we go, yes. But, it's truly the culture, the vibes and the people that all are drawn to Kook's trips that make it so life changing and unforgettable. I am so incredibly fortunate and grateful for Kook's Wild Ride finding my life. I am a forever KWR trip girly. Take the trip!!!

Absolutely unreal experience with Kook’s Wild Ride in Southern Africa! This was my first trip with KWR, and each and every part of it exceeded all of my expectations. Kaleigh thoughtfully planned out an itinerary which not only immersed us into the rich African culture of the areas we visited, but also was crafted to let us experience so much in just 9 days. Everything was top notch. Highlights for me were the safaris through Kruger National Park in South Africa and Chobe National Park in Botswana. Seeing wild animals in their natural habitat and the thrill of never knowing what you might see around the corner is truly unmatched. If you’re on the fence about taking the trip, this is your sign to send it! 10/10 recommend.

I traveled with girlfriends in 2024 with KWR to Patagonia for one of the most amazing journeys of my life. The trip was smooth, organized, with fun and knowledgeable contacts and guides on the ground, delicious food, lovely hotels, and fascinating outdoor experiences. It was so cool to be immersed in the culture the entire time. My husband and I just booked a trip in 2027 to South Africa for our 25th wedding anniversary, and we can't wait!

Kooks Wilde ride was more than an adventure! It was an experience in bonding with amazing people while taking on new and unique experiences that were unprecedented with our past travels. We are retired and travel a ton. This trip was the BOMB!

Wow wow wow, Nepal was such an amazing trip. I sobbed unpacking my suitcase. Having the Himalayas on my bucket list for so long and then actually getting to see them was so special for me. You definitely have to be ok getting dirty and smelly on this trip, but as an avid camper and hiker, I didn’t mind it. I felt like we got to actually see Nepal, not some perfectly curated Instagram version of it, especially as we drove from Kathmandu to Pokhara. I will definitely recommend this trip and your company to anyone interested in group travel. I don’t know how any other group trip I take will compare to our group in Nepal. 10 people who started as strangers really bonded and became friends which was so special.
