Jordan Religious Studies Tour

Discover the Biblical sites where Moses looked over the Promised Land, and see the baptismal site on the River Jordan. Explore the sites of classical antiquity including Roman Jerash and the spectacular rose city of Petra

School Religious Studies Trip to Jordan

The Kingdom of Jordan is rightly famous throughout the world for the stunning Rose City of Petra, the ancient Nabatean capital in the desert where many of the buildings have been hewn out of solid rock walls. The Crusaders were here and built castles such as Kerak while the north of the country formed the ancient Decapolis of the Emperor Trajan, Roman cities in Syria and Arabia on the frontier of the Empire. Today the preserved ruins at Jerash are the most impressive while the ancient city of Philadelphia is now modern-day Amman. Moses looked over the Promised Land from Mount Nebo and John the Baptist is said to have baptised Jesus at Bethany. Perhaps the most impressive sights are to be found in the town of Madaba with its monasteries and incredible Biblical mosaics dating from the sixth century AD.

10 things you need to know before visiting Jordan

Sunny Fitzgerald

Nov 30, 2023 • 7 min read

From staying safe to understanding local etiquette, this guide to Jordan for first-timers will help you plan the perfect trip © Stefan Tomic / Getty Images

A small country that's big on hospitality, ancient history and culture – with numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites –  Jordan offers endless opportunities for adventure.

From afar, it’s often unfairly lumped in with regional conflict and, as such, overlooked by wary travelers. But in reality, it’s a welcoming and peaceful destination not to be missed.

Start planning the trip of your life today with our ten top tips for first-time visitors to Jordan.

People explore the ancient ruins of Petra, Jordan

1. Jordan is a safe place to visit

Despite being located in a region with a history of conflict, Jordan is a friendly oasis that’s open and inviting to visitors. Hospitality reigns supreme, violent crime is extremely rare, and Gallup’s 2022 Law and Order Report  ranks Jordan in the top ten for countries where people feel safe walking alone at night.

While you should take the usual precautions you would anywhere – purchase travel and health insurance, don’t carry large sums of cash, and keep valuables locked in a safe  – fear should not be a factor when planning a trip to Jordan.

2. Hospitality is a deeply rooted tradition

Don’t let the "Jordanian frown" fool you. Although you may be met with furrowed brows and what appear to be unfriendly faces, you’ll quickly learn just beneath the tough exterior of a resting frown face typically lies a fun-loving attitude and a deeply rooted tradition of hospitality that can be traced back to Bedouin culture.

It’s not uncommon to be invited for tea or even a meal by shopkeepers and strangers you meet. " Ahlan wa sahlan'"  (welcome), locals will say. "Where are you from? Welcome to Jordan."

3. When greeting someone, follow their lead

You’ll see people of the same gender greet each other with handshakes, hugs and even multiple air kisses beside each cheek. But if you put your hand out for a shake or lean in for a hug, you may be left hanging.

Out of respect for their religion and spouse, some Muslims will not touch people of a different gender unless they are related by blood. Don’t take it personally – be prepared and open to learning the local traditions.

When meeting someone, you can stand, say hello, smile and then let them take the lead. If they extend a hand or lean in for a hug, you can do the same. If they keep their hands at their sides or put their right hand over their heart rather than reaching out, that’s their way of acknowledging you.

4. It’s not always hot and sunny in Jordan

A common misconception about Jordan is that it’s always hot, dry and sunny. While that may be the case if you visit between May and September, Jordan does have a winter season .

From November to February, the country receives a great deal of cold and cloudy days, rain and even snow, sleet and hail on occasion. Temperatures can hover under 10ºC (50ºF) during the day and drop to freezing in the night (32ºF).

If you’re traveling from mid-October to mid-March, be sure to pack a waterproof jacket and warm layers and monitor the weather. Flash floods are extremely dangerous, and even Petra is known to close during inclement weather.

5. Alcohol is legal, but heavily taxed

If you’re in search of sundowners , you can find alcohol at a number of restaurants, bars and, of course, liquor stores in the larger cities like Amman and Aqaba , as well as Christian towns such as Madaba and Fuheis (where you’ll find Carakale , Jordan’s first and only craft beer microbrewery).

St George and Jordan River also produce their own wine in the country but be prepared to pay a pretty penny for your libations – although legal, alcohol tends to carry hefty taxes.

Bear in mind that Muslim-owned properties and Islamic holidays may affect how readily alcohol is available. For example, it’s illegal to sell alcohol anywhere in the country during Ramadan (with the exception of some high-end hotels), and most camps in Wadi Rum don’t serve alcohol at all (but you can often bring your own).

Call ahead to inquire about availability and any restrictions, and if you do drink, be mindful of your hosts and consume in moderation.

6. Dress respectfully

Jordan is a Muslim-majority country, but Christians, Jews and people of various beliefs also coexist peacefully here. There is no law requiring women to wear hijab, but there is an expectation that visitors dress respectful ly – i t’s best to avoid low-cut and shoulder-baring tops, short skirts, and shorts.

If you plan to visit a place of worship, both men and women must cover their knees and shoulders, and women are typically expected to cover their hair, chest and neck. 

But covering up doesn’t mean dressing down: Jordanians are generally quite image-conscious and well-dressed. Some restaurants even enforce a sophisticated dress code, particularly in Amman .

Keep that in mind when packing and feel free to flaunt your personal style (respectfully) if you’ll be spending time in the capital.

7. Smoking shisha and cigarettes is common

Alcohol may be in somewhat short supply, but there is argeeleh (shisha) aplenty. For better or worse, smoking shisha is a national pastime, and you’ll find argeeleh cafes across the country. Cigarette smoking is also widely accepted – although it is banned in numerous indoor public spaces, the bans are often ignored by locals.

Travelers who smoke will be in good company, but the smoking culture in Jordan can prove challenging for nonsmokers and those with health conditions. When booking rooms, tours, restaurants and transportation, ask whether non-smoking options are available.

8. Bring a reusable filtration water bottle

Tap water is usually not drinkable in Jordan, though some higher-end hotels have their own water purification systems. Environmental education and recycling facilities are scarce, and you will see plastics and other rubbish littering the otherwise lovely landscapes.

Local businesses and organizations with an eco-aware approach and plastic-free policies like those of Feynan Ecolodge , the Jordan Trail and Eco Hikers are working to teach and inspire locals and visitors with their environmental initiatives.

Travelers to Jordan can be part of the solution by supporting these businesses and carrying their own reusable filtration water bottles (such as  GRAYL ) and reusable utensils.

9. Jordan is proof that big things come in small packages

Jordan is smaller than Portugal or the US state of Maine, but within its borders, you’ll find endless adventure possibilities, ancient history and culture, nature reserves, and community-based immersive experiences (such as those provided by Baraka Destinations , Engaging Cultures and Experience Jordan ).

There are also five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the architectural wonders of Petra and the expansive deserts and towering rocks of Wadi Rum.

If you’re eligible for a visa on arrival to Jordan, purchase the Jordan Pass to gain entrance to some of the best sites, castles and museums including Petra, Wadi Rum, the Temple of Hercules in Amman , the Roman ruins at Jerash and Ajloun Castle .

Keep in mind that although Jordan is small in size, the terrain is varied, roads may be rough and traffic can delay your plans. Traveling to sites may take more time than you anticipate, so plan accordingly and try not to schedule every moment of your itinerary. Immerse yourself in the experiences and allow time for the unexpected. 

10. You’re going to fall in love with Jordan

Maybe it will be the moment you fall asleep under a blanket of stars or stand in awe of enormous ancient stones. Or perhaps it will hit you when you reach the peak of a mountain and take in the view, far away from the rush of the city.

It might be the laughter and stories you share with your new Bedouin friends. Or the taste of tea brewed with sage and sugar over a campfire. It could be in the fresh mansaf (the Jordanian national dish of lamb, rice and yogurt sauce) made with love by your hosts and eaten with your hands. Or it could be when you hear the muezzin’s call to prayer while watching birds dive and swoop against a sunset sky.

There will be a moment – or more likely, many moments – when the magic of Jordan seeps into your soul. Jordan will welcome you, challenge you and it may very well change you. And you’ll find yourself making plans for your next trip before you even finish your first.

Egypt Private Tour & Nile River Luxury Cruise with Optional Jordan Extension

Why you should go.

The Great Pyramid of Giza was built approximately 2850 B.C., while Cleopatra reigned as Queen of Egypt (51-30 B.C.). Remarkably, The Great Pyramid was built over 2,700 years BEFORE Cleopatra’s rule, meaning Cleopatra lived closer to our current time versus the time of the Pyramids(!) . This striking fact is illustrative of the incomparable depth and longevity of Egypt’s ancient civilization.

Notwithstanding the number of compelling ancients sites we have visited in China and Greece, we feel Egypt’s long, rich history of pharaohs and dynasties dating back from  at least 3100 BC is unrivaled!

Based on our Lynch/Xu family trip to Egypt in March/April 2023, we consider the four-night Nile River cruise aboard the Nile River Explorer or Sun Boat IV ideal for visiting various historic sites. These destinations include Kom Ombo, Temple of Horus, Temple of Khnum, Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, and Karnak (+ Abu Simbel extension from Aswan!).

A critical benefit in mitigating the stress of EGYPT touring is our policy of using private “Through-Guides” (Ms. Asmaa is among our favorites!). We provide a single, high-quality Egyptologist guide to accompany our clients throughout their Egypt private tour/Nile River cruise, including all internal Egypt flights. Having a private Egyptologist guide travel with you throughout the various stopovers adds a degree of continuity & professionalism to your Egypt private tour experience. What really makes our through-guides special, however, are the fun, long-lasting relationships they create with every traveler!

Though our Lynch/Xu families were grateful and much impressed with our sneak-preview private evening tour of GEM & Zooba dinner on Mar 20, 2023, the opening date is still to be advised. We are looking forward to our engaging GEM Egyptologist contact, Nouran, sending us the preview opening date in the near future…keeping our fingers crossed, Nouran!

Among these is the largest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts (100,000+!), including treasures from Tutankhamun and items dating back to 4,000 B.C. Of special note is the 4,600-year-old boat commissioned by Khufu, the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh who also comissioned the Great Pyramid of Giza. You may also see the remains of ancient Egypt’s pharaohs and nobility, including Ramses II, one of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. A 93-ton, 3,200-year-old statue of Ramses II welcomes guests in the atrium of the museum, signifying the cultural and architectural prowess of Ancient Egypt.

Following breakfast, you privately transferred to the airport for your flight to Abu Simbel. Upon arrival, you will be met by your private guide for your tour of one of the most recognizable sites in all of Egypt, The Great Temple of Ramesses II (along with the Temple of Hathor and Nefertari ). This temple, along with other temples of the Abu Simbel Complex, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Nubian Monuments. The temples of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel are each fronted by 66 ft. high gargantuan statues and are famed as the most impressive lasting monuments of ancient Egypt. Each statue represents Ramesses seated on the throne, wearing a double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. Upon entering, each room descends in size from entrance to back sanctuary, taking on the traditional triangular structure followed by most Egyptian temples. Each small room contains significant pillars that symbolize the deified Ramesses. 

Following your tour, you will be privately transferred to the airport for your flight back to Aswan.

Sanctuary Sun Boat IV or Nile Adventurer 4-Night Cruise

Following breakfast, meet your through-guide to be transferred by private vehicle to board the luxury Sanctuary Nile River Adventurer or the Sun Boat IV in Aswan. The cruise will begin sailing down the west bank of the Nile River to the Necropolis of Thebes, the burial site of the Great Pharaohs of the New Kingdom and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beginning in the 16th-century B.C. and for a period of 500 years to follow, these tombs were built along the valley for pharaohs and nobles. Here, you will have the opportunity to step inside the tomb of Tutankhamun, “the boy king.” You may also visit the tomb of Seti I, the father of Ramses II, one of the best-preserved tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Later, you will stop at the beautiful Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to ancient Egypt’s first female pharaoh, regarded today as one of among its most successful.

After spending time on both vessels, Sun Boat IV and the Adventurer, we can safely say that we thoroughly enjoyed our experience aboard both, including the duration of the cruise. We consider the 32-cabin Sanctuary Nile River Adventurer and the 40-cabin Sun Boat IV to offer the highest level of personal service, safety, and luxury accommodations.

Day 6: Aswan

After exploring the boat and settling into your rooms, you will have the chance to take a ride on a felucca (a typical Egyptian sailboat) around Elephantine Island, Lord Kitchener’s Botanical Gardens, and the Agha Khan Mausoleum.

Day 7: Aswan to Edfu

Following a buffet breakfast onboard, take a short motorboat ride to visit the High Dam and Philae Temple. Following lunch on the boat, you will sail to the Temple of Komombo. 

Day 8: Edfu to Luxor

After breakfast, you will visit the Temple of Horos, followed by an Egyptian cooking lesson back on board of the vessel. The main attraction will be a visit to the Temple of Khnum, where you will be guided around the Greco-Roman temple by a seasoned Egyptologist. Your night sail to Luxor will begin with a lavish party where guests are encouraged to wear galabeyya, traditional Egyptian garments. 

Day 9: Luxor

Your first stop of the day includes the expansive Valley of the Kings, which will take you on a tour of King Tut’s tomb, the Temple of Medinet Habuis, and Dier El Medina. In addition to Valley of the Kings stopover, visit the Valley of the Queens, which houses the tomb of Nefertari (!), and explore Luxor Temple. Following a full day of touring Ancient Egyptian sites, you will return to the luxury vessel for a gala dinner complete with Dervish and belly dancing performances. 

Day 10: Disembark Nile River Cruise + Fly Luxor/Cairo

Following breakfast, you will disembark the cruise in Luxor. From here, you will be privately transferred to Luxor Airport for your flight to Cairo. Upon arrival in Cairo, you will be privately transferred to your hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, & dinner

Accommodations: Sanctuary Nile Cruise + Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza

Cairo Private Tour

Following breakfast, you will be met by your private guide for a day of Cairo exploration at your discretion. Optional stopovers include Coptic Cairo, the Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, the Bab el-Foutouh, and Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, one of the city’s major souks (open-air marketplaces).  Bargaining is expected here, so be prepared to negotiate.

Though above options are fascinating and picturesque, we strongly suggest visiting the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC). The first veritable museum of civilization in Egypt, the newly inaugurated NMEC is located on the archaeological site of El-Fustat in Old Cairo, overlooking the Ain el-Seera Lake. The museum showcases Egyptian civilization from prehistoric times to the present day, using a multidisciplinary approach that highlights the country’s comprehensive heritage.

Considered the crown jewel of the museum, the Royal Mummies’ Hall is specially designed to display the mummies of the ancient King and Queens of Egypt. The design aims to give the visitor the feeling of strolling down Valley of The Kings, where most of these mummies were originally resting. The hall includes 20 Royal Hatshepsut (Maatkare), Thutmose III (Menkheperre), Seqenenre Taa II, and our favorite (!), Ramesses II.

Full-Day Petra Private Tour + Transfer to Wadi Rum

Following breakfast, you will be met by your private guide to begin a full-day tour of Petra. Start the visit with a horse ride from the main gate of Petra to the entrance of the old city (around a half-mile ride). Then walk on foot along the Sig (pronounced “seek”) to visit the rose-red city of Petra. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 and named one of the new Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, Petra is most prominently known as one of the world’s most famous archaeological sites due to its unique built as half-complete, half-carved into rock. Your stopovers today include the ancient city of Petra (built from 800 BC to 100 AD by Nabetean Arabs), the Petra Museum (featuring over 280 Nabatean artifacts from the Stone Ages to present day), and Little Petra (AKA “Al Beidha”).

Following Petra touring, you will be privately transferred two-hours to Wadi Rum. Upon arrival you will embark on a two-hour desert excursion on 4×4 vehicles to explore the area. A 2011 UNESCO World Heritage Site and protected area, Wadi Rum is a desert valley cut into sandstone and granite rock, commonly dubbed “Valley of the Moon.” We feel this region in south Jordan to be the most beautiful site in the country, and worth the Jordan extension.

Located in the administrative city center, we feel that The St. Regis Cairo provides the perfect Egyptian experience, mixing peace and serenity with life and energy! Along with The Four Seasons Hotel, we find The St. Regis to be of the top two highest-end luxury hotels in Egypt. Mixing traditional elegance with modern luxury, the St. Regis offers 268 rooms and suites, all which feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Cairo’s business and finance capital and the beautiful Nile River. The hotel features an Arts and Culture Center showcasing ancient and contemporary designs by local artists! We recommend strolling through the center to check out the painting of the Grand Opera House. Additionally, St. Regis offers a grand outdoor pool, luxury indoor pool & spa, fitness center, game room, sports arena, and three gastronomy options. The Al Khedewy serves Egyptian cuisine, La Sponda offers traditional Italian, and Montego provides beautiful views of the outdoor pool and lake with all-day dining.   

Based on our Lynch/Xu family’s last trip to Cairo in March 2023, three out of six of our family members gave a “thumbs up” to the St. Regis and the other three gave a thumbs up to the Four Seasons Nile Plaza Hotel– so we call it a tie. We love both hotels!

Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan

Agatha Christie’s famous “Death on the Nile” was inspired by (and penned inside of) the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract! Located on the Nile River in Aswan, right across from Elephantine Island, the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract is known for occupying one of the most beautiful scenes in Egypt. Dating back to 1899, the British-colonial hotel enriches guests with historic significance through its sophisticated interior design reminiscent of the pharaonic period. In 2008, the hotel closed for three years for a complete restoration, reopening in 2011. T he rebuilt Nile Wing now offers 62 rooms and 37 suites that all have an accompanying balcony facing the beautiful Nile River.    

  Sofitel offers luxurious accommodations such as 1902, its signature French Cuisine restaurant, and an indulgent spa, offering a variety of Egyptian-based treatments. As of 2014, the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract is a member of Historic Hotels Worldwide.

Sanctuary Nile Adventurer

Since experiencing both the Sanctuary Sunboat IV and Sanctuary Nile Adventurer, we prefer the slightly smaller 32-cabin 218-ft Sanctuary Nile Adventurer. Having gone through a complete renovation back in 2018/2019, the vessel offers an understated casual style of sailing, despite its 5-star luxury vessel rating. Combining Pharaonic and Egyptian-aesthetics, all the air-conditioned rooms offer wonderful Nile River views with 24/7 service.  Laundry services available.

We particularly enjoyed the Adventurer’s nice sun deck with its rich teak floors and its private cabanas around the pool. Though there is no spa on board, massage treatments are available. Two critical advantages of this vessel are its experienced, engaging Egyptologists and many delicious dining options. Enjoy!

Petra Marriott Hotel

Situated atop a steep slope in Wadi Musa, just minutes from the ancient city of Petra, the Petra Marriott Hotel is the perfect starting point for an amazing trip ahead (!). Given its strategic location on a hill, the 5-star property boasts stunning views of the Petra Valley, Mountains and desert. The Marriot feels high-touch, with 100 spacious rooms and suites decorated in a modern, contemporary style. Though far from the most luxurious or interesting of your accommodations on this trip, the location alone is worth a one-night stay.

The hotel features two onsite restaurants, a tent experience with traditional Bedouin dishes and music, a sauna, an outdoor pool and hot tub, a fully-equipped fitness center, and a bar/lounge with panoramic mountain views. Additionally, a small spa offers massage treatments and a steam room. Laundry services available.

Review: Petra Marriott Hotel, Jordan. | World Traveller 73

Mövenpick Resort Petra  

There is no shortage of beauty in Jordan, and the Mövenpick Resort is proof. Situated in the heart of historic Petra, we find the 183-room resort to be among the most interesting five-star properties in all of the Middle East due to its astoundingly convenient location, just a five-minute walk from ancient Nabatean tombs and the UNESCO World Heritage Archaeological site of Petra.   

Though the resort provides the utmost sense of comfort and serenity, its Arabesque interior, filled with ancient artwork and a robust antique collection, feels reminiscent of a museum. Intricate, meticulously constructed balconies and windows stand out against the robust natural stone walls that line the exterior, with Middle Eastern fabrics and textures on the interior paying homage to the Petra’s Nabataean history. Amenities include seven Arabian-inspired restaurants and bars (including the must-see Al Maqa’ad Bar!), tea room, library & gift shop, rooftop sunset garden, a daily complimentary chocolate hour (!), outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, and the beautiful Zara Spa which features a steam room, hammam, and variety of signature treatments.

Vi elskede at rejse med klipning.

Vi elskede at rejse med klipning. Alt kørte fuldstændig upåklageligt og vi følte os 100 procent trygge hele tiden. Så dejlige ophold alle steder på vores rejse og vi har kun mødt søde , rare , hjælpsomme og imødekommende mennesker. Vi vil til hver en tid anbefale kipling til andre og selv rejse med jer igen. Vi var både i Tanzania med en dags vandring på kilimanjaro , Safari hvor var så heldige at opleve “ the Big five “ og alle de andre mange smukke dyr.Det var helt klart den bedste oplevelse for os alle 4. Vi synes at 3-4 dage var lige tilpas og helt utrolig dejligt at sove , spise og opholde sig på / i campen på Serengi , med et meget venligt personale . Zanzibar var vidunderlig og det var skønt , at slentre på stranden med træerne i vand , når tidevandet tillod det. Personligt ville vi nok ha’ foretrukket en dag mere ved vandet/ stranden , fremfor at tilbringe det sidste døgn i Stone town.., men det handler om os og ikke kipling . TAK for denne gang 💕

Besvarelse fra Kipling Travel

Kære Karen, Ai da sikke flotte ord og selvfølgelig også med ønsket om en ekstra dag ved stranden i stedet for Stone Town. Og hvor er det dejligt at høre med safarirejsen i Tanzania med Serenegti osv. Tusinde tak og et stort Velkommen Hjem - vi håber at se jer igen

Safari Tanzania og badeferie Zanzibar

Netop hjemvendt fra safaritur med min mand med efterfølgende badeferie på Zanzibar. Vi har følt os trygge hele vejen og har haft en fantastisk ferie. Både Kipling og deres samarbejdspartner ‘Zaratours’ får stor ros herfra. Safarituren var nok den største oplevelse - Dejlige hoteller, venligt personale og specielt stemningen på Wild Camp ‘Wildebeest’ i Serengeti er noget vi vil mindes med glæde. Vores Jeep blev desværre ramt af nedbrud, hvilket betød noget af en oplevelse da vi var strandet ude i Serengeti i mørket i en del timer. Vores chauffør Frank holdt stemningen oppe og da vi endelig kom videre i anden bil gav det mulighed for en uplanlagt natsafari. Så trods vi mistede en del safaritimer blev det vendt til en meget positiv oplevelse ;) Zanzibar var også en god oplevelse, men nok lidt for varm til vores smag. Hotel, transport mv kan vi ikke ‘sætte en finger på’. En af de største oplevelser på Zanzibar var turen på krydderifarm - meget interessant at se hvor de krydderier vi bruger til daglig kommer fra - der var mulighed for at se, dufte og smage, så alle sanserne kom i spil. Vi skal helt sikkert have vores voksne børn med på Safarituren og er sikre på at næste tur skal bookes gennem Kipling!

Kære Cathrine, Tusinde tak for ordene og ja sikke omgang på savannen med jer - og så har vi også set det med. Og dejligt at høre med den gode Frank og selvfølgelig hele rejsen. Serengeti er bare forunderlig og fantastisk, og Wild Camp ikke mindst. En stor stor velkommen hjem til je og vi håber at se jer igen sammen med jeres voksne børn. Velkommen hjem

Kære Inge Lise, Det er da de dejligste ord og tak for opdateringen om safarirejsen til Tanzania. Med en stor velkommen hjem og vi håber at se jer igen

Der var styr på det hele

Vi bookede en tur til Tanzania med bestigning af Kilimanjaro, safari og badeferie på Zanzibar. Der var styr på hele rejsen, og det lokale rejsebureau (Zara Tours) var meget hjælpsomme og ydede en god service. Både vores Kilimanjaro og safari guide var super flinke og erfarne. Kipling Travel selv svarede på alle vores spørgsmål vi havde inden afrejse.

Dato for oplevelse : 10. januar 2024

Kære Mathtias, Sikke dejlige ord fra Kilimanjaro trekkingturen og fra Tanzania og Zanzibar. Det er en godt nok også et eventyr, en storrejse og tusinde tak for de flotte ord. Velkommen hjem og vi håber at se jer igen 🙏

Fantastisk rejse med kipling rejer

Fantastisk rejse med kipling rejer. Vi var på makutsi Safari farm. Virkelig meget gæstfri og servicen var helt i top. Fantastiske ranger der tog os med ud hver dag. Vores ældste barnebarn på 11 år sagde at han havde billeder af 52 forskellige dyr. Og vi så virkeligt alt. Tak til Mads og tak til Makutsi.

Dato for oplevelse : 28. december 2023

Kære Kim, Tusinde tak for de flotte ord om rejsen til Sydafrika og safarioplevelserne og vi er meget glade for at høre om rejsen og herlige Makutsi 🙏 .... 52 forskellige dyr er altså imponerende!! En stor velkommen hjem og vi håber at se jer igen

Marrakech, bjerg og ørken

7 dages individuel rundtur i Marokko. Alt klappede. Dygtige guides og chauffører, søde værter/personaler på overnatningsstederne. Vi (to kvinder) følte os totalt trygge på hele turen og skulle bare koncentrere os om at opleve. Og hold da op, der var meget at opleve! Vi valgte Kipling bl.a. grundet programmets sammensætning, som for os var helt perfekt med Imlil først og Marrakesh til sidst, Sahara i midten.

Dato for oplevelse : 20. november 2023

Kære Karina Tusinde tak for de flotte og dejlige ord. Det er vi rigtig glade for at høre, også fordi vi selv holder så meget af Marokko. En stor tak og en stor velkommen hjem til jer - med håb om at se jer igen 🙏

Ja, korte ferier er også fantastiske

Tusind tak til Kipling Travel for lynhurtigt at fikse 11 dage i Nepal.(Jeg havde pludselig ferie i én uge). Specielt var teltlejren ved Begnas søen en oplevelse, sikke en udsigt til både sø og høje bjerge. Hertil skal jeg igen. Absolut ingen problemer med hverken lokalfly eller min fantastisk søde guide Prakash. Sprogproblemer var der heller ingen af. Hotel Marshyangdi i Kathmandu er "home away from home" med det rareste personale. Elskede mine "fridage" i Kathmandu. Jeg skal helt klart afsted igen. Super tilfreds med det hele. TAK!

Dato for oplevelse : 04. november 2023

Af hjertet tak - og så fra en med mildt sagt mange Nepalrejser - og ovenikøbet første dansker på Great Himalayan Trail. Stor velkommen hjem (igen) 🙏🙏🙏

Kan ikke under nogen omstændigheder anbefales

Inden afrejse virkede det som et fint rejsebureau. Desværre viste det sig at vi havde fået en halvdårlig rådgivning omkring vores safari. Og der var meget lidt hjælp at hente hjemmefra da min mand blev syg og vi måtte afbryde vores kilimanjaro tur. Mette fra kipling var direkte ubehagelig og ubehøvlet. Heldigvis havde vi en god forsikring og det lokale bureau hjalp så godt de kunne. Derudover havde vi bestil en privat tur til kilimanjaro, men det var det ikke. Vi fulgtes med et andet par.

Dato for oplevelse : 05. juli 2023

Det er vi naturligvis kede af at høre, og det hører gudskelov til de absolut yderste sjældenheder. Desværre tager ting længere tid når der opstår sygdom og ex. forsikringsselskaberne tager over. Det samme med jeres ønske om at ændre rejsen til Zanzibar. Men dertil skal oplevelsen, selvom vi altid kæmper bag kulisserne, selvfølgelig også føles. Og det beklager vi ikke er sket for jer. Det er også derfor I fik refunderingen fra os. Vi bruger selvfølgelig alle tilbagemeldinger til at justere og optimere rejserne og alt rundt om. På trods hug, så velkommen hjem og med håb om revanche 🙏

God rådgivning, eksekvering og dokumentation - trygt

Vi var på 5 dages safari i Tanzania+5 dages strandferie på Zanzibar (Nungwi) samt 1 dag i Stone Town. Alt det praktiske var arrangeret med god information osv. for hvert skridt, så vi kunne fokusere på oplevelsen. Afhentninger, ballontrip, hotelreservation virkede bare. Fantastisk guide på Safari til Tarangire, Ngorongoro og Serengeti og super hotel (Z-hotel) på Zanzibar. Vi var afsted i 2 første uger af december, og fik set alle de dyr vi ville og endda også dele af den store migration på vej ud af Serengeti med 10.000-vis af gnu'er og zebraer. De 5 stjerner er for rådgivning før rejse og eksekvering af bestillinger samt dokumentation og handlekraft: Det var en impulsiv tur vi var på og Kipling arrangerede det hele for os efter vores første henvendelse 14 dage før afgang. Det hele på email med rejsekonsulent som er super serviceminded og gjorde det muligt for os at vælge lige den oplevelse vi ville have trods den korte tid. Tak Kipling.

Dato for oplevelse : 01. december 2023

Kære Verner, Det er meget flotte ord, som vi er virkelig glade for, specielt da vi var sagt med et smil, var lidt i pres på tiden :-) Tusinde tak for meldingen og vi håber at se jer igen på nye eventyr i fremtiden.

Tanzania (Safari og Zanzibar)

Vores tur til Tanzania (Safari) og Zanzibar fungerede bare fra start til slut. Jeres lokale firma (Zara) i Tanzania var bare 100 % på hele tiden - det var en dejlig oplevelse. Hotellet (Langi Langi) på Zanzibar havde nok strandens bedste placering. Brug ALTID de sidste penge på havudsigten - det var givet godt ud.

Dato for oplevelse : 05. september 2023

Kære Per, Tusinde tak for de meget flotte ord om safarirejsen til Tanzania og Zanzibar. Det er da bare dejligt at høre og vi er meget enige i at opgraderingen til havudsigt giver SÅ god mening. Velkommen hjem og vi håber at se jer igen

Super dejlig rejse til Zanzibar med Kipling Travel. Det hele spillede og vi manglede ikke noget og var ikke utilfredse med noget. Altid en fornøjelse og alle på Kipling samt samarbejdspartneren på Zanzibar er så søde. Vil altid anbefale bureauet til andre rejsende.

Kære Kamille, Tusinde tak for de skønne ord og ikke mindst dejligt, at I har haft en god rejse. Også en stor tak for de flotte fotos, som vi virkelig er glade for. En stor velkommen hjem til jer begge 🙏

Kilimanjaro med Kipling rejser

Er netop hjemvendt efter en rejse med Kipling til Kilimanjaro (Lemosho 8 dage). Alt var godt, super professionelt setup. God info ved bestilling, yderlig info som vi nærmede os afrejse og endelig info ved afgang, manglede intet information. Vores Danske Kipling guide Bo er nok en af de absolutte mest kompetente personer til sådan en guide, kæmpe ris til Bo, men også til det lokale team i Tanzania, wow de var service orienteret. Hjemrejsen blev ændre med mange timer i Doha, men der fik Kipling lounge adgang til os som var en stor gevinst. Jeg skal klart rejse med Kipling igen.

Dato for oplevelse : 22. august 2023

Tusinde tak for ordene, Claus - Kilimanjaro er en stor udfordring og kommer mildt sagt ikke af sig selv, så FLOT gået og tusinde tak for de dejlige ord. Vi håber at se dig igen - og velkommen hjem

Kilimanjaro med rejseleder Kim Bo Larsen

Jeg besteg Kilimanjaro sammen med en gruppe og vores rejseleder Kim Bo Larsen. Alt fungerede optimalt og levede op til mine forventninger. På intet tidspunkt følte jeg mig utryg, og der var fuldt styr på det hele. Alt forplejning var helt fantastisk, og vi var kun omringet af søde og meget hjælpsomme mennesker. Kim er en fantastisk rejseleder, som formår at samle gruppen og skabe god stemning. Han er erfaren, hjælpsom og professionel. Min tur op af Kilimanjaro er en oplevelse, som jeg aldrig vil glemme. Jeg vil stærkt anbefale at rejse med Kipling!

Dato for oplevelse : 10. juli 2023

Kære Marie, Velkommen hjem fra Kilimanjaro bestigningen og hvor er det flot gået. Tusinde tak for de meget fine og flotte ord, som vi er meget ydmyg over og selvfølgelig lige så glade for. - og vi håber at se dig igen.

Kipling Klassisk Indien. Behagelig og eventyrlig rejse.

Vi valgte Kipling, fordi vi var usikre på at springe ud i selv at arrangere vores rundrejse i Indien. Kipling havde netop den individuelle rejse, vi ønskede med fleksibel afrejsedag og længde. Rejsen levede fuldt op til forventningerne, alt klappede: Både transport og kørsel med de forskellige godt/sikkert kørende chauffører og møder med alle de gode guider og hotellerne var varierede og gode. Vi var så "heldige", at vi ikke oplevede den nævnte "This is India" faktor, for alt kørte efter planen. Kommunikationen med Kipling var hurtig og hjælpsom, da vi havde spørgsmål til det endelige program. Eneste negative er, at den trykte guide til ansøgning af e-visa virker forvirrende m.h.t. ansøgningstidspunkt. Her fik jeg forkert svar fra Kipling pr. telefon. Det rigtige svar er: E-visa ansøgning til 1 mdrs. turistvisum er først mulig at udfylde tidligst 1 måned før afrejse. Alt i alt er vi meget taknemmelige for en behagelig og eventyrlig rundrejse i Indien. Britta og Dimon (par i 50érne)

Dato for oplevelse : 01. november 2023

Kære Britta, Sikke dejlig evaluering og tusinde tak for ordene. Vi er meget meget glade for at det levede op til forventningerne med gode og store oplevelser. Og tak for ordene om vores måske for udpenslet guide til e-visa - det tager vi til os og får kigget på, og ser om den kan strammes op. Med stor tak for evalueringen - og velkommen hjem til jer

Igen igen en Fantastisk tur til Nepal og Mera Peak, med fantastiske sherpa guider, at jeg så desværre blev syg dagen inden top forsøget var drøn ægreligt, MEN der viste Explore Himalaya ( kiplings samarbejdspartner i Nepal ) at de er intet mindre end guld værd, alt kørte på skinner i samarbejde med forsikringen mht evakuering, hospital osv og de havde virkelig styr på det:) Det giver jo så anledning til at jeg må tage turen igen nu det ikke lykkedes i første omgang:)

Dato for oplevelse : 10. oktober 2023

Kære Trine, Hvor er det flotte og dejlige ord. Og sikke fantastisk (bjerg) og eventyr-indstilling du har, for toppen er jo altid et ekstra krydderi - netop oven på store oplevelser. Sygdom er ingen herre over - men tusinde tak for de flotte ord. Vi håber at se dig igen og Godt Nytår

Næsten lige hjemvendt fra 14 dages…

Næsten lige hjemvendt fra 14 dages rundrejse i Indien, planlagt og arrangeret af Kipling Travel. Start i New Delhi og så videre rundt i den gyldne trekant, med egen chauffør og guider undervejs. Der er intet at sætte en finger på. Chauffør og guider var der altid før det tidspunkt man havde aftalt. Var problemer undervejs var det nemt at kontakte Kipling Travel. Vi skrev og spurgte om vores kufferter kunne opbevares Delhi mens vi tog toget til Varanasi. To minutter efter beskeden var sendt, kom svar retur at det kunne selvfølgelig godt lade sig gøre. Da vi manglede togbilletter var de også lynhurtigt klar med svar. Alt i alt kan Kipling Travel på det varmeste anbefales hvis man vil rejse alene rundt i Indien. Det er nemt og der er hjælp at hente både før under og efter rejsen. Tak for en god tur. 5 stjerner med pil op!

Dato for oplevelse : 12. november 2023

Kære Hjalte, Tusinde tak for de meget flotte ord om Indien rejsen med Den gyldne trekant og Varanasi. Vi er meget glade for ordene og ikke mindst at jeres rejse godt og vel levede op til forhåbningerne. En stor velkommen hjem, og vi håber at se jer igen

Jeg er netop hjemvendt fra en…

Jeg er netop hjemvendt fra en succesfuld tur til Kilimanjaro, med Carsten Steen Petersen som rejseleder. Turen til toppen af Kilimanjaro har været en drøm i mange år og den levede til fulde op til mine forventninger. Alt på turen var kompetent planlagt, men for mig fremstod vores rejseleder Carsten, som den afgørende faktor i forhold til, at alle kom på toppen. Fantastisk fagligt kompetent og socialt samlende menneske. Jeg giver Carsten og Kiplings tur til Kilimanjaro mine varmeste anbefalinger.

Dato for oplevelse : 15. oktober 2023

Kære Christian, Et stort tillykke med bestigningen af Kilimanjaro, det er meget flot gået. Og en meget stor tak for de flotte ord om vores rejse, ikke mindst Carsten som er en fantastisk rejseleder. Stor velkommen hjem og vi håber at se dig igen (og igen - tillykke)

Fantastisk tur med Kipling Travel i…

Fantastisk tur med Kipling Travel i Schweiz på Via Alpina. Turen var noget hårdere end ventet, men det var det hele værd - fantastisk natur. Det er dog muligt at afkorte flere af de længste etaper, hvis det ønskes. Enkelte skræmmende pas skal passeres, så lider du meget af højdeskræk, er det nok ikke lige turen for dig :-). Se evt YouTube. Vær opmærksom på, at de vandretider der fremgår af det officielle materiale, er regulære vandretider i et pænt tempo og dertil skal tillægges pauser. Rejste i starten af september og havde dejligt vejr, men ville nok ikke selv vælge at tage turen senere p.g.a usikkerheden med vejret.

Dato for oplevelse : 04. september 2022

Tusinde tak for de flotte ord om vandreferien Via Alpina i Schweiz - det er da bare dejligt at høre. Tak for ordene og vandretider er taget ind - alle ordene og så håber vi ellers at se jer igen.

3 uger i Indien med 3 børn

Vi rejste 3 uger i Indien med 3 børn i alderen 8, 12 og 15. Kipling skræddersyede et program til vores tur til Delhi, Agra, Himalaya og Andamanerne. Alt var perfekt planlagt efter vores ønsker, og Kipling stod klar til at hjælpe med alternativer, da vores fly til Andamanerne blev aflyst kort før turen.

Dato for oplevelse : 25. marts 2023

Kære Mette, Tusinde tak for de flotte ord om familierejsen til Indien med Taj Mahal og Andamanerne - også selvom flyene drillede med ændringer og aflysninger. Stor velkommen hjem til jer 🙏

Overpriced compared to others

Overpriced compared to others, really bad accommodation quality, trapped on Zanzibar with bad food, high prices and taxi touts. Safari was good but having to pay 180usd tip on top of the price of the tour was crazy. Money grabbing at every opportunity.

Kære Nanna, Jamen hvor skønt at høre. Flotte ord og vi takker. Velkommen hjem og vi håber at se jer igen.

The Hotel was below average, The Kipling company and the hotel gave persons other than me access to my private travel details.

The Hotel was below average. Stuff at the hotel var VERY expensive. The hotel owner and the staff was extremely focused money all the time. It was not a nice feeling. The Kipling company and the hotel gave persons other than me access to my private travel details. Whom I stayed with, where, when etc. Not good and possibly illegal. The guide that they provided spoke VERY bad English so I requested another. I was not given another guide however they added an guide assistant that spoke better English, but the guide in charge stayed the same. The mountain climb (7 days) Kilimanjaro was good. Good food and nice people.

Date of experience : July 05, 2018

Kære Peter, Tak for ordene og vi da selvfølgelig ærgerlige over din anmeldelse til trods at Kilimanjaro var så godt som, det skal være. Ingen tvivl om at dine ønsker om faktureringen på jeres fælles rejse skabte lidt spørgsmål, men i forhold til rejsedetaljerne omkring jeres rejse, så kan vi ikke rigtig arrangere det uden og heller ikke få tilladelser til Kilimanjaro osv. uden dels at give rejsedetaljer, men også personoplysninger som pas osv, som vi skriver i informationsmaterialet. Men tak for ordene og pro, trods en del kontra - vi er dog glade for at Kili, maden og folkene var gode. Velkommen hjem
