I have traveled with OneSeed to Kilimanjaro and Langtang. Both were AMAZING! I am now planning to return to Nepal with OneSeed next year. I recommend OneSeed every chance I get. Their Trips are incredible and their mission is AMAZING! Every guid I have spoke to about OneSeed has been happy and satisfied. read more

From the planning stages through to the very ending farewell dinner, OneSeed was exceptional. Communication was responsive and helpful. Accommodations, transport, the trek (O-Circuit, Patagonia) was 5-Star all the way. I can't say enough good things about our guide, Roberto. A truly fantastic gentleman. I regret I only have two thumbs to turn up, otherwise there would be more. read more

This was our 2nd trip with One Seed and once again they exceeded expectations. If you are looking for adventure but want to be safe these are the folks that can deliver. It is hard to find sufficient superlatives to describe the One Seed experience. On our recent trip to Nepal for an Annapurna Discovery Trek, the team, including regional manager and guide, greatly exceeded our expectation. The Nepal Manager, Tek Bahadur Dong, was well informed and attentive to our needs. He clearly knew how to navigate the Katmandu region providing us with an excellent orientation on our arrival. Subsequent preparation for our trek including touring the capital city and checking our gear made us feel comfortable and prepared. He answered our questions with skill and a depth of understanding that transcended competency encompassing Napal history, mountain challenges and local logistics. Accommodations in Katmandu and Pokhara were outstanding. His choice of trekking Tea Houses was likewise thoughtful. Do be prepared that on the trek the accommodations may be somewhat primitive. Our trekking guide Suruchi Rai had extensive knowledge of the Annapurna region grounded in years of hiking the trails and visiting tea houses. Patient and sturdy she kept us at an appropriate pace to reach our daily goals. She had a breadth of naturalist knowledge that was unusual for someone in her field. Passing farms, she would discuss the various crops and livestock by type, distribution and history. In the forests she likewise discussed the indigenous plants and animals often pulling sprigs or flowers describing features such as smells or adaptive traits. Although the trekking was challenging, our guide was cognizant of our needs including hydration, hunger, health issues. Based on our pace she would accurately predict our arrivals and prepare us for the steep ups and downs of the trails. Organized, warm engaging and friendly, Tek and Suruchi made us feel totally at ease whether on the streets of Katmandu or on the trail or at the nightly lodging. If you are looking for immersive adventure, One Seed should be your choice!! read more

This was our second trip with OneSeed and I our experience was just as great as the first time. We did a Private Inca Trail Tour, Trip to Rainbow Mountain, and Lake Titicaca Oasis Extension. Everything about the trip was perfect. Every last detail was well planned and thought out. Our guide, Paulo Cano, was extremely knowledgable and constantly shared information about the trail and the Incas with us,. We had an amazing trip and I cannot wait for our next one with them. read more

Outstanding experience with our Kilimanjaro summit following the Marangu route. Our guides, porters, and waiter were courteous and professional. Issa and our waiter checked on our well-being constantly. Oneseed kept great communication all through the booking process and offered a competitive rate. The guides would often talk about how well the company treats them too. Overall, an outstanding experience. read more

Every detail is taken care of. The food is top notch, the guide is passionate and helpful. We were able to focus on hiking and enjoying time with our group. We will absolutely be booking with One Seed again. read more

OneSeed Expeditions - After 4 days of hiking the Inca Trail we arrived at Machu Picchu! - Travel Services Near Me - Denver, Colorado

"OneSeed! Expeditions! No Retreat! No Surrender!" I just climbed Kilimanjaro with the unparalleled OneSeed team! From the first minute to the last, they exceeded all of my expectations. Hebron, Isa, Gabriel, Bertos, Jones, and the rest of the wonderful local guides, cooks, and porters made sure our group was taken care of the entire way. Our safety while acclimatizing was checked continuously and at regular intervals, and when some of us struggled, appropriate attention was received right away. In addition, the knowledgeable guides taught us about the flora, fauna, terrain, and local culture. The porters hauled our gear, food, water, and other group supplies, and the cooks made sure that were always well fed, hydrated, and healthy. On summit night, we were serenaded under the stars and a crescent moon. I can't thank the team enough for making this all possible. I also trekked with OneSeed a few years ago on their Epic Patagonia backpacking trek and it was also an unforgettable adventure! Sabine and Sergio are very warm and outgoing, which makes an otherworldly hike through breathtaking scenery that more special. Plus, with a portion of the trip cost is directly reinvested in the local economy. It's nice to know that you are able to give back to the welcoming cultures that have embraced you. I would go with them anywhere and I highly recommend OneSeed to anyone interested in the outdoors, adventure, and exploration! read more

OneSeed Expeditions - Kilimanjaro - Marangu Route - OneSeed Expeditions - Travel Services Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Ultimate Patagonia Trek: OneSeed does it all! A primary reason I choose OneSeed bc they give back and partnering with local communities. After this trip, I'd choose OneSeed time and time again for aforementioned reason but also their exceptional planning, attention to detail, staff, accommodations and did I mention exceptional planning. I didn't have to worry once about the logistics of the trip which enabled me to soak up every minute stress free. They are experts in what they do and I am so grateful to Sergio, Roberto, Daniela and all those behind the scenes for making my bucket list trip one of the best yet! read more

I've done two trips with One Seed, Patagonia and Croatia. Both were fabulous!! The guides are top-notch and the organization is very communicative all through the planning process. Highly recommend them for adventure travelers. read more

Our One Seed trip to Africa.exceeded our expectations! They made our trip a once in a life time and we would definitely recommend them. Our guides (Salea and our driver Hebron) were very informative, knowledgeable and accommodating!! Cant recommend those two high enough!! What a wonderful organization, If you want a trip to remember..choose One Seed!! read more

The views on the tour were breathtaking, the tour itself was organized, and our guide was knowledgeable and easy-going! I felt safe and had fun the entire time. I highly recommend the tour guide, Matias, and OneSeed for all traveling adventures! read more

Absolutely amazing company from booking, answering questions, travel, the trek, and guides. I highly recommend. If you are trekking Patagonia, ask for guides Roberto Carlos or Mauricio!! read more

We had an amazing time in Peru. The panned experiences were wonderful and informative.

My husband and I did the OneSeed Epic Patagonia Expedition, and it was wonderful! If you are thinking of booking this tour, don't hesitate, just do it because it's phenomenal. They took care of EVERYTHING, which was incredibly helpful because navigating the W Trek in Patagonia can be tricky. They reserve the refugios (which is clutch considering that they get booked up quick!); handled all the transportation (which can be tricky because of unpredictable weather conditions); provided all the food; reserved the permit; provided expert guidance on where to go, how to dress and what to be prepared for on the hike; and soooo much more. Our tour guide, Roberto, was the best. Every night before the trek, he made sure to fully prep us with what to expect, what type of clothes to bring, etc. Not to mention, during the trek itself, he knew everything there was to know about Patagonia. The cool thing about OneSeed is that they only hire locals to be the tour guide so they are incredibly knowledgeable. Between my husband and I, it only cost $5,800--which is a steal because it includes our flights, transportation to and from Puerto Natales, food for over a week, guidance through the trail and the hotels and refugios. We couldn't have made a better choice. OneSeed is the way to go for all expeditions! read more

One Seed Expeditions did a wonderful job organizing our trip to Mt Kilimanjaro and the safari that followed. We had no issues and our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. One seed gives back to the communities which is a big reason why we chose to go with them over other companies. This was a trip of a lifetime and one seed played a big part in that. I highly recommend them!! read more

My husband and I went on a trek in Peru with OneSeed. I would absolutely travel with them again. The trip was stress-free thanks to OneSeed's planning and our excellent local guide. We always felt safe and we learned so much. Bravo! read more

OneSeed Expeditions - With our guide, Ronald, at Machu Picchu. - Travel Services Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We did Croatia multi-sport in May. It was fantastic! Communication and responsiveness beforehand were fantastic - we were supposed to go in 2020 but postponed twice for COVID. No hassles, no questions. Some of the places we went were definitely off-the-beaten path, exclusive only to Oneseed or a very limited number of tourists (e.g., on the long kayak day, we had lunch at the kayak guide's house. On his patio, on the water. Not a separate patio for his tours - it's his patio! His wife made a delicious lunch with some fish they had caught in their trap that morning.). Of course, some of the sites we visited, or the ferries we took, were open game for others. I could see them getting crowded in the peak season, but in May we had a lot of things to ourselves and no problems getting seats. The water was a little cold to swim in, but worth it! This is an active trip, so you should be in decent shape before you go. The first hike was very steep, and on the long kayak day we had a strong wind. Great for paddling out, but the return was tiring. You don't need to be a fitness maniac or anything, but if you hardly ever exercise you might be better off with a different excursion than this one. The guide was very good and you could tell he just loved his job. We would definitely take another Oneseed tour! read more

Just went on the Epic Patagonia excursion organized and led by OneSeed. Boy o boy it was an adventure. I've been trying to go to Patagonia for 20 years and OneSeed did not disappoint. In a word simply Awesome! Torres Del Paine is a must visit place very special to me. Our guides Roberto and Nili, were very professional, friendly and downright nice. Sergio our coordinator in Santiago took care of every detail and was clear on time schedules and trip details. Our 6-day trek in TDP was truly fantastic. Best of all was the group of fine people I met, hiked and bonded with who made my trip wonderful. From day one Oneseed exceeded my expectations a wonderful organization and trust me I know professional organizations. You can't go wrong booking with them. Group Wine - No Limits Vino Group Song - Everyday I undulate! Motto - Undulating is caring! How we roll : Cinco ocho loco gringo! Get excited: Ooooopppa! Thanks Oneseed for the memories Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.

Wonderful trek to Machu Picchu over the Salkantay pass. Wealso roasted coffee beans, did a chocolate tasting, learned about dyeing and spinning alpaca yarn, saw orchids, birds, and chinchilla. Our cooks on the trek were amazing as were our horse handlers. Our guide knew the history at Machu Picchu and along the way, as well as info about plants, mountains, culture, and history. Such a memorable trek. read more

WOW. I cannot say enough great things about OneSeed Expeditions and the Epic Patagonia trip I took this past November! I was lucky enough to go on the Epic Patagonia trip in a private group of 11 with my husband, some of my best friends and family. It is a trip that we will all remember forever! To start, booking was super easy and Sally answered all of our questions and made booking seamless and easy. They were also so helpful with any travel questions that came up. We were greeted in Santiago by Sergio and he was really great in explaining what the trip was going to be like and arranging all the logistics - we didn't have to do anything! We spent a day at Huelken winery, met the most awesome pup, Augustina, and also drank some great organic wines! For the main event, we took a super early flight to Punta Arenas and then a 2-3 hour bus ride to Puerto Natales, where we met our amazing and knowledgable guides, Felipe and Jorge (actually Felipe picked us up at the airport)! We all agreed that they played a big part in how much fun we all had during this trip. Felipe and Jorge are so knowledgable about the park and the trail - they also made sure that we all went at a pace that was comfortable for each of us individually. My knee started to hurt after the second day, and Felipe wrapped it up for me! Jorge knew everyone on the trail - I think he was the most popular guy in the park! He is also so nice and is a great magician! Anyone who is lucky enough to get him on a trek, you should definitely ask him to show you his card tricks! These guys were really great! Along the trails, we were able to fill up our water bottles with fresh glacier water, which is SO fresh and clean tasting - some of the best water ever! We had great weather for most of the trip, but by the time we got to Glaciar Grey, the weather was rainy and a bit windy, so unfortunately we weren't able to do the kayak or the ice hike. Felipe and Jorge arranged with Big Foot (the company that runs the kayak and ice hikes) to take us to a little rock island close to the glacier in a speed boat so that we could get photos with the glacier. The refugios were much nicer than I had expected - the dinner meals were all tasty and the rooms were pretty clean. They supplied lunches for us daily (you should expect sandwiches, with an apple or orange, and either a granola bar or trail mix). Most of the refugios even had a bar or at the very least, you could order beer or wine! The trek was definitely challenging, but not undoable. There is a lot of hills and incline (don't be fooled by the net elevation that's listed in the itinerary, like I was!). Definitely do a few hilly hikes before you go! I also definitely recommend using hiking poles. We saw some of the most beautiful sights and scenes, and to be able to experience this trip with friends and family made this trip extra special. I highly recommend booking a Patagonia trip with OneSeed - it would have taken us so much time, research, and effort to book this trip on our own. We probably wouldn't have scheduled the trip so efficiently either. We didn't feel limited by being on an organized tour - it was just really well put together and we couldn't have asked for anything more! Can't wait till our next adventure! read more

I have done 2 trips with oneseed (Everest Base camp and Epic Patagonia), and I absolutely loved them both. The guides are locals and the activities and food all support local businesses. Oneseed has taken the stress out of travel by making all the arrangements for seamlessly easy Expeditions with great communication. I am looking forward to future trips with this company. read more

WOW! Yet again my adventure with OneSeed was a WOW! I have just returned from my 4th OneSeed Adventure and the service, guides and locations selected were over-the-top perfect. I am amazed with the consistency of their excellent communications and service. Prior to OneSeed, my husband and I were independent travelers; now, we are hooked on the services provided and their commitment to sustainability and giving back to the local communities. Not to forget, we LOVE their local guides. This trip started with the Mt. Kilimanjaro trek with 8 others that we met in Moshi. What a great 6-day adventure it was trekking the Marangu Route with our support staff of 20 - made up of guides, cooks, waiters, and porters. They were there to take care of our every need no matter the altitude. Next up was the 6-day Serengeti Safari. OneSeed arranged the perfect guide, Saleh, to introduce us to the wildlife in three national parks. And in the evenings, our tent camp lodging was comfy, food delicious, showers nice and hot, and perfectly located to enjoy the spectacular evening sunsets. During our safari we were introduced to the Big Five. Memorable moments - ostriches mating and a lion protecting his buffalo carcass (only 15 ft away). To cap off the best trip ever, we included the OneSeed extension to Zanzibar Island. White sands, blue Indian Ocean, ocean-front bungalow, fresh seafood, snorkeling, bike riding, and a romantic dinner for two on the beach. Not sure how OneSeed can top this one; however, based upon my experience, I bet they will. read more

I took the trek to Kilimanjaro summit via the Lemosho route on Feb 2020. The whole team was amazing, they took great care of me and allowed me to safely reach Uhuru peak. It was an experience of a lifetime and highly recommended. Additionally, they're involved in the Kilimanjaro Porter Assistance Program (KPAP) which is reassuring when you try to be a more responsible consumer. read more

Excellent organization - kept our trip running smoothly from start to finish. Logistics were clearly communicated and executed. The Guides (Mauricio and Roberto) were top notch - very knowledgeable and clearly invested in the Torres del Paine National Park and the surrounding community. They were focused on making our trip the best for each of us - even if that meant something different for each. Tough juggling act and they handled seamlessly. I would most definitely use this organization for another adventure! read more

Hands down one of the BEST tour companies I have ever travelled with from beginning to end. And I have done trips with a number of different companies. The pre-trip information and support was excellent and the guides on the trip itself were fantastic. I would not hesitate to travel with OneSeed again and have already highly recommended it to everyone I know. Only wish they went more places :) read more

Amazing trip!!! Wonderful organization by OneSeed...we had a couple of really great guides who showed us their "backyard" and led our group on this trek. Our group had so much fun and the trek was beyond amazing. I am vegetarian and my husband is vegan, and the guides were super prepared to handle these special diets, even while trekking through Patagonia. The food was honestly amazing and the refugios we stayed at were very accommodating and a great place to rest after a long day of hiking. Very grateful to have actual beds each night. Couldn't have asked for a better trek...thanks OneSeed! read more

I have never participated in a group trip like this before. I was completely terrified due to all the things I read online from others whom had bad experiences, mostly due to things outside the tour groups control. I however would say One Seed and it's team are in a class all by their own. They kept me informed, educated and at ease before and during the trip. I felt safe and was able to remain stress free even when the LATAM Airline lost my backpack flying from Santiago to Punta Aries. If you want to explore the world and not have to worry I would highly recommend using One Seed. I am already planning my next trip and after this one they will have some high expectations to live up to. I am sure they will more than deliver. read more

Amazing company, climbed Kili with them and Issa was a great guide. He is seriously one of the nicest guy you will ever meet. Quality was great on EVERY detail, food amazing, health checks, they take care of you. And socially responsible. read more

My epic Patagonia trip with One Seed was spectacular! Their communication was on point, their responsiveness to questions both at home and in country were prompt- but the very best part of the trip was the guide Sofia. What an excellent leader! She did a great job with pacing our group through the hikes, but it was her passion for the environment and the history and culture of Patagonia and her warm soul that made the trip so special. We were a group with a 20 year age variance and she did a super job of taking care of and including everyone. read more

Update! My friends and I went on another OneSeed trip this past February again (and as always, my review is super late). This time we went to Tanzania where we climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and went on safari. We were part of an inaugural group that went as they just launched this expedition this year. And I have to say, we had an absolutely great experience again. The expedition in and of itself was a once and a lifetime experience all around. And I must say that OneSeed really played a hand in ensuring we had a great experience. While we were their first group going out there, everything was absolutely seamless. If I hadn't known, I would never have guessed it was their first official excursion out there. If there were any hiccups, they handled them so well we had no idea! I went with three other friends and we were once again very lucky to have had friendly, supportive, and fun people in our group that we still keep in touch with. And the OneSeed logistics team (in Denver and Tanzania) ahead of the trip and during the trip were amazing! Again, pre-trip questions were answered quickly and thoroughly (and they never tire of all the questions!). And I really can't say enough about the guides: Rama (lead guide) and Jeffrey and especially Issa, Gabby, and Daud. I will never forget all the care and assistance they provided. I truly don't think I would have made it to the top (or back down) without each and every member of the guide team out there. In addition to the guides, the cooks were amazing - it really made a difference that we had a hot fresh breakfast and dinner every day and can I just say the food was sooo good! I can't recommend OneSeed enough and can't wait for the next trip! read more

ONESEED IS FANTASTIC! My dad, sister and I traveled with OneSeed to Patagonia, Chile and had an incredible time (and the trip is easily my #1 escapist daydream to this day!). OneSeed offers a unique service in that it does all the legwork for planning for a trip, but gives you the flexibility to explore and have your own adventures. We stayed in beautiful boutique hotels, ate dinner at the cutest establishments and never rode around in a big bus that screamed tourist! The trekking guides Roberto and Jorge were both professional and fun, and taught us about local wildlife and culture. WE EVEN SAW A PUMA! Our group was wonderful with people from all ages and backgrounds, and we stay in touch to this day. My dad says he hopes to go on every one of OneSeed's trips! If you're on the fence, BOOK THE TRIP. I guarantee you won't regret it. read more

Took trip to Patagonia and it was executed flawlessly! Wonderful guides and tremendous in country support. Because of that experience, we have now booked follow on trips to Machu Picchu in Peru and Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Looking forward to going with them again. read more

My daughter and I did Kilimanjaro and a 3 day safari with Oneseed. OneSeed made everything so easy with the finest guides. Everything was well organized and excellent follow through with great detail to our every need. It was a trip if a lifetime. Thanks, Oneseed. LOVE it that you are dedicated to "giving back" with your microfinancing. We will book with them again. read more

The OneSeed team is AMAZING! Our trip to Torres Del Paine was perfection from start to finish. From the what to pack, to the actual trip with our amazing guide, the whole process was seamless and let us go on vacation without worrying about anything. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to do this epic adventure with such a experienced and caring crew. Plus, our itinerary was on point. Other travelers we met on our trek were jealous of our experience that OneSeed cultivated for us. Thanks OneSeed! read more

EPIC! What can I say about the Epic Patagonia Trip through OneSeed Expeditions. It was amazing! I am writing this review almost two months after my trip but it still feels like I just got back from the trip yesterday. I do not write many reviews but I loved this trip so much that I want others to experience it. I booked the trip in February 2015 along with ten of my friends to make our own group for the first trip of the season in November 2015 (Team Chin Chin). The booking process was fast and easy. We worked with Sally on the OneSeed end to figure out flight and she was very helpful with any questions that we had about the trip. I flew from Los Angeles Airport stopped in Lima, Peru a couple of hours then landed in Santiago Airport where Sergio from OneSeed met us with a van to take us to Casa Bonita. It is a little cute bed and breakfast place nothing fancy but has everything you need and close to the subway. We stayed at here the first two nights and last night of our trip. This is great because you can leave any bags and excess luggage that you will not need in Patagonia. I bought some wine at the winery and souvenirs that I didn't have to lug around. We left early in the morning in a van 3:45am back to Santiago airport where we flew into Punta Arenas Airport and met one of our guides Felipe K. who welcomed us with handmade cookies and a cheerful attitude. He got us on a bus to Portal Natales where we transferred onto another bus to Patagonia. This day is a bit tiring because it is all travel. Don't let this intimidate you because once you get into Patagonia it will be worth all of the travel. You will get to see some animals like flamingos and guanacos along the way going into Patagonia. We had two guides Felipe K. and Jorge C. They were the best guides ever. One will be up front for the faster hikers and one will be at the back for the not as fast hikers. They were both really nice, funny and accommodating to everyones needs. Felipe had knowledge about everything and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Jorge was very funny and knowledgeable about Patagonia. A mountain man by day and a magician at night. It was a perfect team. They made the hike extra special and fun. Patagonia itself is a very large beautiful area and you are close to Antarctica so be prepared with layering of lightweight clothes. We trekked about 50 miles during throughout Patagonia in Torres del Paine National Park. It is a very beautiful place. Very clean, air is so fresh, water you drink right out of the stream. The trails are pretty straightforward. You will experience something new everyday from forest areas, grasslands, rocky mountains, glaciers. The weather is unpredictable from windy, rainy, and sunny. You will be one with nature. Some days you will need only daypacks when you stay at the same refugio other days you will carry everything. The people are all nice that work at the refugios and you make friends with guests because they will most likely be doing the W Circuit also. All the refugios were a lot nicer than I expected. All had hot water, the beds were not bad, people were nice, charging stations, alcohol and snacks for purchase. Pictures do not do this place justice. It is amazingly beautiful and the color of the water and glaciers is unbelievable. You must see it for yourself. On our way back we stayed a night in Puerto Natales. It is a cute beach town city. We stayed at the Amerindia Hostel. It was very cute and artsy. This is where we had our farewell dinner with our guides. We left the next day on the bus back to Punta Arenas to fly back to Santiago. We stayed one night in Santiago and flew back to LAX. I personally was looking for a get away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and work life. You gradually get into this trip through Santiago, which is city life to less hustle and bustle through Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales. When in Patagonia I was away from my e-mails, internet, traffic, smog. It was so refreshing and I had nothing on my mind except what I wanted to concentrate on and nature. It was great exercise, I had great company around me, memories that I will never forget. The process of booking the trip was easy. The price is not bad for all that is provided in the trip. Saves you the headache also to coordinate the flight with the buses, refugios and getting your permits for Torres del Paine. It is a tour but you still have a lot of freedom. The guides are the best like you've known them for years. It was very hard to come back. I wanted to stay there forever. It is such a beautiful place and my experience was life changing. Thank you OneSeed team for putting together such a great trip I am thinking about doing one of the other trips in the near future. read more

My wife and I did the OneSeed Kilimanjaro Summit and Safari trip to Tanzania and it was beyond fantastic! We are regular adventure travelers, but we often travel self-guided, with an itinerary we build ourselves. This was our first time using a guiding service on a group trip. OneSeed is American-based, and the owner, Glenna, was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. The company has a policy of using only local guides (which was one of the things that drew us to the company), and I was blown away by their efficiency, attention to detail and obvious love for what they do. OneSeed provided a very detailed packing list and excellent information on what to expect. The guides followed through with that, briefing us daily about what the next day will bring. They were seamless with providing transportation, food, hot ginger tea in our huts every morning, and everything else you may or may not know you need! Our group was a large one (10 people), and while I know this is beyond OneSeed's control, the other group members were a joy to travel with! On summit day, the team of four guides adds two experienced porters (called Summit Porters) to the trek, which made a ratio of 6 staff members to 10 trekkers. Trust me: this is gold. Even as experienced hikers (we have been to an elevation of 13,800 feet), we had no idea what it would feel like to trek at that altitude, and we ended up really appreciating the incredible level of attention we were given. We came away with a fantastic sense of accomplishment and an elevated respect for the expertise of the staff members. The safari portion of the trip uses completely different guides/cooks than the Kilimanjaro climb, but our lead guide from the mountain, Hebron, accompanied us as a liaison, which was very helpful. Admittedly, we liked one of the safari guides a lot more than the other. But the locations and the wildlife were absolutely spectacular, and the tents were roomy and comfortable. One piece of advice: Unless you are renting gear from OneSeed directly, resist the urge to make your travel bag smaller/lighter by renting gear in Moshi. We had a not-so-good experience trying to rent gear like heavy down jackets, gloves, bags and sleeping bags from an outside company (gear did not fit well, was very old and dirty), and having our own stuff that we were familiar with would have improved the experience. My wife did end up renting a sleeping bag from OneSeed directly and it was clean and in excellent condition. We can't wait to book more trips in the future with OneSeed! read more

OneSeed is the best in the business. We just returned from our fourth OneSeed adventure, this time from Africa, where we climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, experienced a safari to two national parks and a conservation area, and lounged on a powdery-white sand beach on eastern Zanzibar. It was incredible, made possible by the incredible attention to detail by OneSeed and its expert staff and guides. Our other OneSeed adventures were the Epic Patagonia (Chile), Anapurna Discovery (Nepal) and Sacred Chomolhari (Bhutan) treks. Each one gave us memories to last our lifetimes, and we credit OneSeed with taking care of ALL details and ensuring our safety and security at all times. For us, OneSeed gets our nod not just for the incredible experiences it delivers, but also because of its conscious decision to take a portion of profits to finance microloans in the countries it visits to foster entrepreneurship and empower budding business owners and leaders. We like that we are, in our own way, helping create business opportunities for previously disenfranchised individuals. It's a path to prosperity and peace for everyone, and we salute OneSeed for playing a central role in this vital realm. We would give 10 stars to OneSeed if we could, but we'll have to live with Yelp's 5-star system. read more

We travelled to Torres Del Paine in Chilean Patagonia with OneSeed in Jan 2015. The trip is aptly named Epic Patagonia. The trekking was amazing. Difficult at times but the views are outstanding, our guides were local and knowledgeable and the experience far surpassed my expectations. We used OneSeed to book our flights from home to a pre-trek visit to Argentina as well as for the necessary leg to Santiago. OneSeed partners with LanChile which is an excellent airline with good service. Next time we travel to South America we will try to add a OneSeed Expedition to our itinerary because we know it will be EPIC. read more

I did the Epic Patagonia trip with OneSeed Expedition in 2015/12/26 - 01/07/2016. I booked through Zozi which gave me a big discount on the trip compared to OneSeed price. Overall OneSeed team has done an amazing job arranging the itinerary, providing guidance, taking care of the group (almost like babysitting :)) and engaging with the team in a personal level. Our guide Nilly (Nilufer) and Gorge are both very knowledgeable and personal. They have made the trip extra fun and memorable for sure. One thing stands out for me is what OneSeed Team did while i was in unexpected need of help. My luggage ended up NOT showing up while I landed in Santiago and I literally only had the clothes I was wearing with me for the entire hiking trip. Sergio from OneSeed Team came to help and he lent me his personal hiking gears which turned out to be a saving grace for the trip. I managed to enjoy the trip with very limited gears but did NOT miss any fun part of the trip. Sergio also personally took care of the whole airline mistakes and made sure that my backpack reunited with me at the end of the trip. I would absolutely trust and recommend OneSeed team for any of the far reaching adventures they organized. Keep the good works OneSeed! read more

We had a FANTASTIC experience with OneSeed. I love the policy of using local guides -- and our local guide, Roberto A. was simply superb. Knowledgeable, friendly and took care of every need. Everything about this trip went perfectly, from their planning list (yes, pack lite!) to every part of the hike. The W trail is really beautiful and I am grateful I was able to share this experience with my son and close friends. I like the OneSeed philosophy of giving back and look forward to taking more trips with them in the future. read more
