About this trip

Embark on an unforgettable adventure starting in Nairobi, where you'll visit an elephant nursery, the enchanting Giraffe Centre, and the inspiring Kazuri Beads Factory, which supports single mothers from local villages. After two captivating nights in Nairobi, we'll fly to the renowned Maasai Mara for a three-night stay in luxurious safari tents. Here, you'll experience the thrill of morning and afternoon game drives, when the wildlife is at its most active. You can also choose to hike to a stunning waterfall or immerse yourself in the culture of a local village.

Hot Air Balloon Ride - Masai Mara
$500
Deposit: $0

The adventure begins just before dawn. Departure is from a perfect natural launch site and flames from the hot air balloon burners light the darkness as the crews inflate their craft. The first, pink tongues of sunlight flicker across the skies as the hot air balloon fills, then rises. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-coloured canopy, you’re off for a game-viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective. What amazes most first-time balloonists is the absolute stillness: the silence as you float above the plains, the forest and the rivers of the Masai Mara. Even if you’ve flown elsewhere, this is a unique experience. The flight lasts an hour or so, drifting wherever the air currents take you, and with ample opportunities for photography and video filming. Then your Kenyan Hot Air Balloon Safari finishes with a flourish. In the time-honored tradition of balloon flights, the world over, you toast your return to earth with a champagne breakfast, cooked wherever you land. The Balloon Safari ends with some leisurely game viewing on the way back to Camp/lodge.


Available on a fist come, first serve basis. This acitivity is non-refundable after trip is confirmed.

This trip was incredible!! Not only because of the hiking, views, and trekking, but because of the amazing group of women I was blessed to go with. First off - Lisa is an amazing trip host! She looks out for everyone, takes time to get to each person on a personal level, is so much fun, and is just a wonderful human being. Second - Sarah with Happy Tracks was THE BEST guide. I can not say enough good things about her. Everything was organized well. This trek will test you physically and mentally, but it’s so worth it! I can’t wait to go on another WWE trip!

If trekking the Tour du Mont Blanc is not already HIGH on your bucket list, then you most definitely need to add it. This absolutely awe-inspiring three country mountain loop circumnavigating the Mont Blanc massif is nothing short of - EPIC!! Seeing the majestic mountains, glaciers, wildflowers and all around breathtaking scenery will leave you speechless! Women Who Explore did another fandamntastic job of putting everything together so we could all enjoy this once in a lifetime adventure! I can't say enough good about this other than I hope you make it a part of your To-Do-List and go experience it first hand yourself. It will not disappoint!!

I can't thank WWE enough for their support and encouragement as I readied myself for the Iceland Ring Road adventure and traveled that 800ish miles of highway 1. Not being a world traveler all my worries were for naught. Our group was a beautiful mix of women of all ages and from many places in the USA and Canada. At 66 years I physically felt very able to participate in all we did. We had the opportunity to make each hike or tour stop our own by making it a bit longer, a bit shorter, or even wait at the van if we needed that option. I made it through the long, busy days with only head bobs on the bus the last day. So much to see. My son commented my photos looked like National Geographic photos - well that is what the entire trip felt like I was on. I am homesick already. Karrie, the WWE host was so organized and such a good communicator and our Viking Women's guide, Villimey was exceptional and really cared about us all. If I wasn't so exhausted, I would head back tomorrow and return to Akurayri to whale watch. It was a truly emotional experience to meet humpback whales and minke whales in the largest of Iceland's fiords. Iceland was definitely a life changing experience for me and WWE scaffolded my preparation and travel so I always felt at ease. Visiting Iceland with WWE was one of the best experiences of my life and am so grateful for the support they all provided!!

Hiking in Greece with WWE has been such a joy! The trip was very well planned, accommodations were very nice and the guides were so thoughtful. Our food was fresh and so healthy! I would 100% travel with WWE again.

This trip was amazing! The Faroe Islands are still wild and barely touched by tourism! Our accommodation was perfectly located in Torshavn. We were within walking distance to a grocery store, Old Town, the harbor, and all the restaurants. Every activity was well thought out and no more than 45 minutes away. The trip hosts were attentive and fun to be around. I definitely would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience something different!

What an absolutely incredible experience on the Riviera Maya + Whale Shark adventure. Felt so connect to the culture in the area with our incredible guide! Also getting the perks of knowing to go to the tulum ruins early in the morning before the rush as well as the local cenotes. I will absolutely do another trip.

I completed my first real hiking experience - the Salkantay trek - Peru. Not only was this an experience I’ll never forget (for so many different reasons) but it was by far one of the best experience challenging me mentally, physically and spiritually. The ambassadors (Amanda & Krys) were phenomenal as were our three Peruvian guides. The group was uniquely fabulous and supportive. The accommodations, food and treks ranked 15 out of 10. This was a much needed adventure for me and I am so very glad I participated. Thank you to all who coordinated and took part in such a great experience.

Best decision I ever made! I felt like a crazy person when I first booked this trip because who books a trip to Mexico with 9 strangers?? This trip was everything I needed! I made 9 friends and came home filled with confidence knowing that once “scary” things were now in my comfort zone. I tell everyone I ever meet about WWE and will 1000% be booking another trip with them. Our tour guide was so kind and took care of all us and made us feel comfortable. The trip was so well organized and left plenty of room for us to explore on our own, or add new things to the itinerary. We learned so much about the local culture, cuisine, agriculture and more with our local guide who was a friend by the end of the trip, and all 10 of us were crying when it was time to say goodbye. If you are considering a trip with WWE, just do it. You’re going to have an incredible time.
