Stay Wild Travel Reviews 

If I could rate it higher, I would! Had the most incredible trip and can’t recommend it enough. The itinerary packs in so much, but it never felt rushed or overwhelming. Having enough time to engage in the activities is balanced with time to rest and connect with each other.

The organisation is also superb- you don’t have to worry about a thing. It was also amazing to see how carefully the local suppliers have been selected to ensure that independent, women- owned businesses are actually being supported. Every person we met went out of their way to make sure we were looked after, fed well (very very well!) and happy.

The guides we had were fantastic at explaining everything, looking after us and making adaptations based on our experience and feedback. Kate was amazing on the trip at asking us about our experience, taking on board feedback and making any changes we had thought of. You couldn’t ask for better service!

A final shout out to the other people onthe trip. Kate has done an amazing job at curating a group of women from around the world with the common interest of exploring and travelling. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to experience this with.

It really was the trip of a lifetime!

As someone who has traveled the world solo for a while now, I didn't really know what to anticipate from a group tour, but Stay Wild exceeded all my expectations of what a trip to Kyrgyzstan could be.

I felt completely safe and taken care of throughout the whole journey. All of the guides were so kind, made me feel incredibly welcome, and answered all my questions with an enthusiasm that really showed how much they love their country. I met the most inspiring women from all over the world and shared amazing moments and conversations that will stay with me forever.

The itinerary is comprehensive and beautifully curated. It offers a perfect mix of exploring the incredible nature Kyrgyzstan has to offer, immersive cultural activities like a traditional cooking class and horseback riding, amazing food throughout, well-paced downtime to take in the stunning landscapes, and authentic overnight stays that brought us closer to the local way of life.

If you care about supporting local businesses and the local economy when you travel, meeting like-minded women to share moments with, and learning about a country's culture beyond the beaten path, I couldn't recommend a better company than Stay Wild. In fact, I was already thinking of booking my next destination with them before this trip was even over!

Thank you to Kate for providing such an incredible space for women to explore Kyrgyzstan, to our guide Malika, and to everyone else who made this trip so special.

Had the best week in Kyrgyzstan with Stay Wild Travel. The tour had been carefully planned from start to finish with a real focus on creating an authentic & locally informed travel experience. Kate was an amazing host, answering any questions & taking on board any feedback from the group. Would recommend to anyone wanting to meet a group of likeminded women for a travel adventure!

I typically am a solo traveller, but I booked this trip to Pakistan with Stay Wild because I have always wanted to go to Pakistan but I wasn't sure about going solo! All I can say is that this trip has been one of the best decisions of my life. Pakistan is a beautiful (and highly underrated country) and it's people are incredibly kind!

As I mentioned earlier, this was my first group trip and Stay Wild has set the bar high for any future group trips! The trip was perfectly curated with a mixture of culture, good food, and a lot of adventure! Kate, the owner of Stay Wild, did an amazing job at fostering community amongst the 15 of us women that were on the trip! You can tell that she has put a lot of hard work and consideration into making sure that we were able to see the real Pakistan! The local guides were amazing. Not only were they knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly excited to share their country with us, but I would also now consider them friends!

I cannot recommend Stay Wild enough! I would go on this trip a million times over and I know it is a trip that I will be talking about for a long time!

My Stay Wild trip to Pakistan was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, the experience exceeded every expectation.

The local guides were outstanding, sharing firsthand knowledge of the region's geology, culture, social customs, and incredible food. Their insights transformed the journey from a sightseeing trip into a deeply meaningful cultural experience.

The value of this trip is incomparable to any others I have seen for this region. Not only did we experience unforgettable landscapes and breathtaking scenery, but we also gained an insider's view of a place and a people that I quickly grew to love. Everywhere we went, we were met with authentic kindness, warmth, and hospitality.

Kate, the owner, did an exceptional job balancing transportation, accommodations, meals, hikes, and countless other logistics. Her attention to detail and ability to create a seamless experience allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the adventure.

I left Pakistan with incredible memories, a deeper understanding of the region, and immense appreciation for its people. I would not hesitate to join another Stay Wild trip anywhere in the world that Kate leads. She has earned my complete trust as a guide and trip organizer.

Still thinking about our incredible group trip to Pakistan last month! It was my first time travelling with an organized group (I often travel solo), so I wasn't sure what to expect. It turned out to be a great group of beautiful women from different backgrounds.

The trip was well organized with a good mix of activities and sights. Just keep in mind that you have to be a bit flexible and bring some (healthy) snacks for long bus journeys and the hikes, as things don't always go as planned in a country like this. However, Pakistan is a very special place with breathtaking nature, constant views, empty trails and very friendly, generous people. Hope to be back some day.

Kate and the tour guides really cared about the group and were always happy to help. Thank you for all the memories!!

Touring Pakistan with Stay Wild Travel exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. It is a stunningly beautiful country and I felt safe and welcome at every turn, a true hidden gem. As someone who prefers to travel solo, I was unsure about travelling with a group of 15 women, but it turned out to be the best group trip I've ever done. The accommodations were comfortable and well considered throughout the trip, honestly often nicer than places I usually stay solo. The itinerary was well-thought out, managing a good balance of activities, down-time and travel time in a country with vast landscapes and long winding roads. An aspect of the trip I loved unexpectedly was that all meals were included and shared family style. This gave us the opportunity to try a variety of Pakistani foods (so delicious!) while bonding with other travellers. Throughout the trip Kate sought feedback on every aspect of the trip and shared with us her future plans. You can tell she is passionate about delivering a quality product and improving her business. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next and hope to join another tour with Stay Wild Travel in the future!

A really memorable trip - Kate cultivated a wonderful group of women and is so great at fostering good conversations. The local guides are truly lovely hosts and it’s great to be shown around beautiful Pakistan by them. Thanks for having me xx

I had a wonderful experience traveling with StayWild. Throughout the trip, the team was very attentive to the different needs of all participants and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included.

What stood out most was how genuinely caring and supportive they were, taking the time to accommodate individual needs. This made the entire trip smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.

I would highly recommend StayWild to anyone looking for a well-organized, reliable and fun travel experience.

This experience was once in a lifetime experience!! I honestly don’t think words can describe the exact feelings of how amazing this country is and the group we had! The sights we saw left me in awe every time but I think what will stick with me forever is how well this trip went. The hospitality and kindness that I received from our guides and even strangers was beautiful. If you ever are on the fence about going to Pakistan this is the group trip you need! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat 🤍

I recently completed the Best of Pakistan tour with Stay Wild and it was genuinely one of the best trips I've ever done.

Before travelling, I wasn't sure what to expect, but Pakistan completely exceeded my expectations. The landscapes were stunning, the food was fantastic, and the hospitality was unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere. Everywhere we went, people were incredibly welcoming and proud to share their country with us.

What really made the trip special, though, was the team. Kate was an amazing tour leader - organised, supportive, and always making sure everyone was having a great experience. Imran, Omair, and Ali were outstanding guides whose knowledge, humour, and passion for Pakistan brought every destination to life. They were always willing to answer questions, share stories, and go the extra mile for the group.

A special mention also to Popeye, who safely got us across the country and through some very challenging mountain roads with incredible skill.

I've come home with so many great memories, new friendships, and a much deeper appreciation for Pakistan. I'd highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an adventure that combines spectacular scenery, culture, hiking, and genuine local connection.

Thank you to Kate, Imran, Omair, Ali, Popeye, and the entire Stay Wild team for an unforgettable experience.

I have just finished the most amazing tour with Kate and the Stay Wild team in Pakistan.

The tour was perfectly curated to experience both the natural beauty of the country as well as the warmth and kindness of the local people. The hikes showcased the true beauty of northern Pakistan and we were always met by smiling local faces excited to tell us about their country.

Stay Wild partners with amazing local guides who are always willing to go the extra mile for our comfort and experience. The guides, alongside the 15 beautiful women who came on this trip, made this the most memorable experience that I will talk about for months.

I have no hesitation in recommending Kate and the Stay Wild team!

All I can say is… WOW. I found Kate and Stay Wild through a friend’s Instagram story and, on a total whim, hit follow. The Hikes and Hot Chai Pakistan trip was exactly what I was looking for in a group experience. I knew basically nothing about Pakistan at the time, but after seeing how thoughtfully organized the itinerary was and spending time on the Stay Wild website, I just knew this was my trip.
I’ll be honest—I was a little nervous about meeting Kate. Some influencers can feel performative or disingenuous in real life, but that could not have been further from the truth. Kate is genuinely the same person you see online—if not better. She’s honest, upbeat, and always puts the group first, even when things don’t go exactly as planned. She’s incredible at creating fun, meaningful moments while making everyone feel comfortable and included. Plus, she’s hilarious, warm, extremely competitive at games, and so clearly driven by her love for travel.
Having never been to Central Asia, I had no idea what to expect—but Pakistan absolutely blew me away. It is stunning, and I now fully understand why Kate keeps going back. You will fall in love with the people, the culture, and the views—it’s inevitable. This trip was hands-down one of the best experiences of my life and holds such a special place in my heart. I still think about our group, our guides, and the entire experience daily. Everything was truly top-tier.
And yes—there is lots of hiking and LOTS of chai. I cannot wait for my next adventure with Stay Wild xx

What a great tour- well organised and got to not only see the big and famous spots across Egypt but also some cool experiences that felt off the beaten track. Informative and experienced guides at each spot and a tour leader that held us all together! Thanks Kate & Stay Wild for a great experience!

What a lovely experience traveling Egypt with Stay Wild Travel. Every step of the journey Kate ensured our safety and fun! It was very clear that a lot of planning and thought went into each experience within the trip. Our local guide was down to earth and always made sure we were taken care of no matter what got thrown his way. Thank you for bringing together such an ironic group of woman to explore the wonders of Egypt. This was my first group group experience and Stay Wild Travel nailed it- thank you!

wow! wow! wow!

From walking the Great Pyramids, to 4x4s in the White Desert, to a felucca ride on the Nile, to snorkeling in the Red Sea and (almost) everything in between - this trip had it ALL.

Kate, Omar, all of the new friendships formed, & Egyptian hospitality made this adventure an 11/10 experience that I can’t stop talking about.

Stay Wild - a legend. thank you. thank you. thank you. for everything. ✨

I recently went on a group trip to Egypt with Stay Wild. It was one of the best experiences of my life. The founder perfectly curated an itinerary that highlights historical significant locations like the Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, etc but also mixes in cultural elements that would be very difficult to replicate on your own. We were able to interact and learn from locals across the country, learn about history, ways of life and so much more. The group quickly bonded and have shared memories that will last a lifetime. 1000/10 recommend!

Egypt with Kate and Stay Wild was absolutely the best time. The itinerary was great, with some amazing experiences that’s I’ve never seen on other tours. Can’t forget our guide Omar, who was so so helpful, coming to the rescue on a few occasions. 10/10 recommend, and I’ve already booked on to another Stay Wild trip next year.

I’ve just had the best experience with Stay Wild Travel. Kate created such an amazing itinerary that allowed us to really see Egypt for all that it is. We immersed ourselves in their culture and learned so much about this beautiful country. From the pyramids of Giza, to inspiring women partnerships, to traditional dancing in a Nubian village and diving in the Red Sea, this trip covered it all! Not only this, Kate allowed space for deeper connections and really brought the group together. Her kindness and genuine passion really shines through. I feel like I’ve made friends for life! I have made such unforgettable memories and can’t thank Kate and everyone involved enough.

What an unforgettable trip I just had with the Stay Wild ✨ This was my first group trip and I can’t have asked for a better time thanks to the exciting and adventurous itinerary Stay Wild offered 🗺️If anyone is looking to explore Egypt and travel alongside courageous and phenomenal women this is the trip for you! I’m already pumped for my next adventure with Stay Wild! Thanks Kate and team 🫶🏼 Until next time 💛
