Abercrombie & Kent, Well-Travelled Since 1962

We have been spinning dreams into remarkable adventures for discerning travellers for more than 60 years, ever since our founder pioneered the first modern luxury safari in Africa. Today we are the world’s leading travel company, taking guests to the earth’s wildest frontiers on all seven continents.

Travel Your Way

For six decades we have been refining the art of bespoke travel, showing every guest the world in a fresh light. We understand that every traveller is unique – tell our experts what you love doing and where you want to go, and we will create the trip of your dreams or match you to your ideal journey.

With You All The Way

Behind every A&K journey is an international support system of more than 2,500 staff, in 60 offices, in 35 countries, on all seven continents. Our on-the-ground “guardian angels” provide 24/7 support, and are there to hold your hand whenever you need it, so you can travel with confidence.

Travel Thoughtfully

We are all the guardians of our amazing planet, and we believe travel should be considered, mindful, responsible. A force for good. Every trip you book with us supports the initiatives of A&K Philanthropy, positively impacting communities and conservation efforts in the places where we travel.

The A&K Family

For all the world’s infinite wonders, it is our people that guests remember most. Our family of experts, from polar explorers to well-connected local guides, bring together their spark, knowledge, and care to make every A&K journey remarkable.

We understand better than anyone what it means to travel well. Since that inaugural safari on the wide-open plains of Kenya in 1962, Abercrombie & Kent has perfected the art of crafting superlative adventures. Our global network of experts pour heart, soul and astounding knowledge into every trip, dedicated to creating the journey of a lifetime, every time.

Our portfolio of journeys now spans all seven continents. However you want to travel, we can arrange it. Sail on an expedition ship to Antarctica, take the slow train through Peru, explore Africa’s greatest national parks on the ultimate private-jet-set safari. Join a group on a journey led by expert guides, or embark on the bespoke adventure of your dreams. Wherever you want to travel, A&K can take you there.

Small Group Journeys
Our guided journeys redefine the concept of the group tour, bringing together a select collective of like-minded souls seeking shared adventures – led by best-in-the-business experts who bring every destination to life.

Private Travel
Every private journey we create is unique. Tell us where you want to travel and we will craft your dream adventure; or be inspired by our collection of expertly designed Tailormade Journeys, customizable to suit you.

Flying privately opens up the farthest-flung corners of the world. Charter your own or join one of our private-jet group journeys by private jet – the most ambitious and awe-inspiring itineraries in modern adventure travel.

Abercrombie & Kent pioneered the first modern luxury safari in the 1960s, and today we continue to set the gold standard for wildlife adventures, with our own safari lodges in six countries in Africa.
