Life, well-travelled since 1962

Abercrombie & Kent

Guided Journeys

The company that made the luxury safari, on all seven continents.

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.

The Difference

What booking through us adds.

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.
