Abercrombie & Kent was founded in 1962, when Geoffrey Kent and his parents pioneered the first modern luxury safari, a bespoke mobile camp unprecedented in its sophistication. This inimitable combination of ‘adventure by day, luxury by night’ became the blueprint not just for Abercrombie & Kent, but for the entire concept of experiential travel.
Six decades on, now under the ownership of Geoffrey Kent’s long-time friend and travel partner Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio, Abercrombie & Kent is an international company renowned for creating thrilling, innovative and ultra-luxurious journeys all over the world.
Our network is unrivalled. 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 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. Our people are the core of our expertise and what our travellers remember most. They make Abercrombie & Kent exceptional, and our travellers’ dreams a reality.
