I was on the 2026 February South Africa trip with Kook’s Wild Ride! It was the most amazing trip of my life and Kook made sure of it! Everything was planned out wonderfully and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing! The love and passion that kook has to make sure everyone on the trip is seen, comfortable and “taking it all in” is nothing short of amazing!! Kook’s Wild Ride pushed me out of my comfort zone and had me and my friends do things we thought we would never do. If you are even considering taking one of these trips, I urge you to just do it because it was the best decision I ever made!! I left with 12 new friends, a strong love for South Africa and a million memories!! Not only was the trip filled with fun adventures but Kook taught us how to stay present and to find the magic in the unexpected. This will not be my last adventure with Kook and I’m excited for many more!! Thank you Kook’s Wild Ride for a trip of a lifetime💜

I joined Kook on her February 2026 South Africa trip, and I truly can’t speak highly enough about the experience. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from the fun-filled adventures to the breathtaking views, she really knows how to create an unforgettable journey.I went with two of my best friends and came home with ten new ones. What started as a trip quickly became something so much more meaningful. The connections, the memories, and the shared experiences made it incredibly special.I’m beyond grateful to Kook for seamlessly putting together such an amazing, well-organized adventure. It was truly an experience I’ll cherish forever.💜💜💜

I traveled with Kook (Kaleigh) for the South Africa trip in February 2026. It was truly the best trip and experience of my life. From start to finish, it was amazing! Kook is free-spirited, fun, and adventurous. Her itinerary pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best possible way. At the same time, she is incredibly professional, attentive, organized, and genuinely kind. She strikes the perfect balance between being an inspiring leader and a thoughtful, supportive presence throughout the entire journey.The trip itself was seamless and so thoughtfully planned. Every detail was handled with care, and everything ran smoothly. Kook and our amazing local guide, Storm, made such a strong team and created an experience that felt both immersive and effortless. Our group got along so well which made the experience even more special!Even when our group faced unexpected flight delays, Kook was calm, proactive, and incredibly helpful. She made a potentially stressful situation feel easy and man... More

I had such an amazing experience on Kook's South Africa trip to Cape Town and along the Garden Route with Brynn. Both Brynn and Storm were AMAZING guides to lead us all around South Africa! They were both so knowledgable and took us to all the must-see experiences throughout the trip. It was super nice having them both because Storm is from Cape Town and showed us all the local spots as well as teaching us so much about the destination. Brynn has previous experience traveling South Africa as well and helped create an itinerary that allowed us to see the most amazing places. I really appreciate being a part of Kooks Wild Ride group trip, because I travel on my own quite frequently and usually traveling to a new destination it takes a bit of research and time while you are there to figure out the best places to go. With Kook's group, no time was wasted, and I didn't have to plan a thing!! I truly wouldn't change anything about this experience! Thanks Brynn, Storm and Kook!

I recently went on Kook’s trip to South Africa and had the best time! Our trip leader, Brynn, was fantastic and made sure we all had the best experience. I joined this trip solo not knowing anyone else going, and I have no regrets at all. I am beyond thankful that I ventured outside of my comfort zone and tried something new. It brought me the best group of girls that I am now lucky to call my friends! We had so many adventures in South Africa planned for us that I never would have found on my own. I left the trip feeling so fulfilled! I can’t wait for the next adventure!

Kook’s Wild Ride was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had!! My first trip I did with Kook’s Wild Ride was in Guatemala 2024, and I had to come back for another! I just got back from South Africa 2026. We had Brynn as our leader and was she so amazing! She makes sure everyone feels included and apart of something so great! Her energy is always so high and vibrant. In South Africa, we had the most amazing, supportive, and genuine group of girls that all became friends within a matter of days!!! I did things that put me out of my comfort zone making me feel like I can do anything!!! I will forever recommend Kook’s Wild Ride to everyone and I already can’t wait for the next trip!!!!! Highly highly recommend!

I recently went on a Kook’s Wild Ride trip to Cape Town, South Africa and cannot speak highly enough of the experience! Everything was impeccably organized, from pre-travel prep to accommodations, activities, and recommendations for shopping/food/bars/etc! It was so refreshing to not have to plan or worry about the little details so I could be fully present in every experience throughout the trip. I also appreciated the balance between outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and social outings that made the trip feel authentic, meaningful, and just the right amount of touristy. Brynn, our trip leader, did a wonderful job of making everyone feel welcomed, included, and safe. We loved every single one of our activity guides and staff at accommodations - everyone was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend Kook’s Wild Ride - every penny is worth it!!!!

This was truly an incredible trip with so many meaningful layers to it. From the rich history to the vibrant culture, and most obviously the nonstop adventure, every part of it was so much fun. I absolutely fell in love with South Africa and the incredible diversity it has to offer. Every day felt completely different and equally unforgettable.Our guides, Brynn and Storm, created such a fun, supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable participating and stepping outside their comfort zones. They struck the perfect balance between encouragement, energy, and genuine care, which made the experience even more special.I’m so happy I decided to go. Kook truly delivered a wild ride that I will never forget. This trip exceeded every expectation and left me with memories I’ll carry forever 🫶🏻

I recently went on the KWR South Africa adventure led by Brynn and it was the trip of a lifetime!!! The 10 days were packed with amazing views, food, and people! The hikes were breathtaking and the local guides made the trip even more special. Brynn did such a great job making us all feel right at home while VERY far from home! I loved getting so close with all of the girls on the trip! The safari was magical and I never thought I’d be so close to such astonishing animals! Canyoneering and bungee jumping were experiences that I never could have imagined for myself without the guidance of KWR and I’m so happy I decided to go- absolutely 20/10 recommend taking the leap if you’re thinking about going on a KWR adventure- you won’t regret it!!!

I had such a phenomenal time in South Africa with Kook's Wild Ride! Brynn Wopperer led this trip and truly made the experience an unforgettable one. The trip was paced exceptionally well and included so many activities and excursions I don't think I would have otherwise found. I got the chance to connect with such an incredible group of girls on this trip and had the experience of a lifetime! I'm leaving with friends and memories for life. I would highly highly recommend this trip or any of the others offered to any adventure seeker looking to visit a new place or re-visit somewhere you've been, you won't regret it!!

I LOVED KOOKS WILD RIDE IN INDIA!!! It was so lovely to travel through a new place with a group of individuals that made me feel comfortable while still helping me to go outside of my comfort zone. Kook does an amazing job of fostering this energy and brings in amazing local guides to make it a truly immersive experience. I can’t wait to travel with KWR again :)

My husband and I joined Kook's Wild Ride for the India trip and it was such a memorable journey! We hit so many culturally and historically significant areas. Kaleigh does a great job at listening to the group and making the experience as best for everyone as she can! It is also wonderful traveling with so many other like-minded people who quickly become friends. I would highly recommend joining one of her adventures!

Wow what an incredible experience! I had such an amazing time traveling through India with this group. We got to experience so much culture and history during our time together. KWR made traveling easy and very enjoyable. They provided local guides, spiritual leaders, transportation and accommodation. The group we were traveling with was full of beautiful humans who all got along really well and developed close connections with each other. I would highly recommend traveling with Kooks Wild Ride!!

Kaleigh is so thoughtful, organized and her trips are executed perfectly! She knows so much about every location she goes and makes me feel safe and comfortable (and wild!) I’m so thankful for time to cut loose, feel free and independent, knowing that I am in the best hands.

My second trip with Kook’s Wild Ride: PERU!!!!Another 10/10 trip packed with the perfect mix of city exploration, cultural history, and a breathtaking trek with the most amazing views. This was my first time in South America and I couldn’t have picked a better itinerary and group to share the experience with.Shoutout to our amazing guide, Sandro, who incorporated mindfulness and spirituality into our adventure. I’ve never felt as in-the-moment as I do on a KWR trip.If you’re thinking of signing up for a future trip, do it!! Best decision of my life.
