Abercrombie & Kent's Insider Access and Pearls of Local Wisdom components embrace the fact that today’s discerning travellers yearn to connect in a meaningful way with global destinations and cultures. A&K is committed to providing unique and up-close experiential travel through unmatched access and style.

A&K maintains an exceptional global standard. Rather than sub-contract, Abercrombie & Kent use their own team- some 50 offices in 23 countries across the world, drawing together the experience of over 3,000 employees, and possessing a fleet of boats, lodges, camps, villas and apartments.

When you travel with A&K your itinerary is designed exclusively for you and your travel companion. Rather than promoting group travel, our focus is on creating private journey’s to accommodate individual interests and needs. Once on the road, there is always a member of the A&K ground team on hand to ensure quality control, back-up support and security, with expert advice and a doctor on call 24 hours at no extra charge.

To travel A&K style is to experience the unbelievable, to have the feeling of being in the right place at the right time, every single time. A&K goes to the ends of the earth to create a journey that will change your life.

Between these pages lie over 80 exciting itineraries, each destination having been extensively researched; accommodation, guides, private vehicles and exploration components included. Our travel specialists are passionate travellers themselves and individuals who thrive upon developing a trusting relationship with their clients.

Insider Access

The global A&K ground team in charge of hosting your itinerary consist of the highest calibre experts in their fields. In Egypt you will be touring with your personal Egyptologist; in Antarctica your experiences are guided by a team of naturalists, geologists and zoologists; on safari in Africa it is reassuring to know your guide has been specially trained by the A&K school, responsible for the highest guide standards across the continent.

Most often academics and always proficient translators, our guides are highly trained in the historical and cultural activity of their homeland, identifying the unique aspects of a place and gaining access to an everyday world generally closed to mainstream tourists. A&K Insider Access enables real interaction with local culture. Dine with a local family in Cairo, sit in the classroom with kids at a primary school in Africa, spend time with one of Florence’s ancient noble families; the Count will personally take you through his palace! A&K has the experience, reputation and connections to get you inside the everyday life of a culture with dependability and professionalism.

Pearls of local wisdom

There are so many hidden secrets across the globe. Left to chance, you may be lucky enough to stumble across some of them unexpectedly, others you may never realise exist. A&K’s hand picked Pearls of Local Wisdom encapsulates the favourite little spots, gatherings, and perfect moments that we’ve spied or sought out through street level knowledge of our destinations. Our ‘Pearls’ are often off the beaten-track and infused with local experience. A secluded archaeological sight, the local hot spot for cuisine and atmosphere, a rare festival or the lively beauty of a neighbourhood market are all the little gems that help make your travels inspiring.

Design your day

Choice is the essence of true luxury. In selected destinations you will find we have grouped together potential combinations for a fantastic day of sightseeing. Choose the option that most excites your imagination or talk to an A&K Travel Specialist when booking to find out what’s best for you. We will handle all the necessary details including transportation, guides and meal plans to make your personally designed day work magically.
