Private Travel
A journey built from scratch around your dates, pace and interests.
Life, well-travelled since 1962
Guided Journeys
Founded by Geoffrey Kent in 1962, A&K's advantage is the ground operation: its own offices, its own guides, and its own properties in the places it sends you. That is what makes the difference between a well-booked trip and one where somebody is already waiting at the airstrip.
Abercrombie & Kent invented the luxury safari and then spent sixty years extending the idea to every other continent. Today it runs private travel, small-group journeys, expedition cruises and its own private-jet programme, supported by more than 3,000 staff across 65 offices in 40 countries — including its own lodges and riverboats under A&K Sanctuary.
Where It Goes
The original territory, and still where A&K Sanctuary owns the most ground.
Expedition voyages at both poles, on purpose-built vessels.
Private travel through India, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

The Experience
A&K Sanctuary
Its own safari lodges and river vessels, rather than blocks bought from third parties.
Resident Guides
Local specialists on staff, not contracted per departure.
24/7 Ground Support
Offices in 40 countries mean somebody is awake and nearby when a plan changes.

Every booking funds conservation and community projects in the regions travelled.
Private Jet Programme
Seven-continent itineraries on a privately configured aircraft.
The Difference
Preferred Partner Booking
Your booking carries partner recognition with A&K rather than arriving as an anonymous reservation.
Space on Sold-Out Departures
We work the waitlist directly with A&K rather than through a public form.
Itinerary Shaped Before You See It
We brief A&K on how you travel, so the first draft already fits.
One Point of Contact
Deposits, documents and changes run through us for the length of the booking.
