Join us as we celebrate 60 years of inspiring luxury travel.

This year marks 60 years since I founded Abercrombie & Kent with my parents in East Africa, the first step on a journey that has taken thousands of discerning guests to every corner of the earth. As we celebrate six decades of inspiring travel, I invite you to look ahead to new adventures in the year to come with this preview of our 2023 portfolio, featuring some of our best and most popular small-group journeys.

Travel in a group of no more than 18 guests, a Resident Tour Director and local guides at your side, and experience every destination through our unique combination of luxury, insider access and impeccable attention to detail. Imagine exploring the wilds of East Africa or the cultural heritage of Mexico on journeys designed around the convenience of private air. Choose from journeys that reveal ancient wonders in Egypt and the Middle East, timeless civilizations in Asia, the historic splendours of Europe or awe-inspiring vistas in the Americas. Wherever you go, count on the unrivalled support of our offices located across over 30 countries around the world, as well as our up-to-date health and safety protocols that help ensure your wellbeing while you travel.

We hope to welcome you on an A&K journey soon, and to demonstrate how the same passion for inspiring discovery that drove our earliest safaris still informs every journey we create.

Since our first journeys in 1962, we’ve set the standard for luxury adventure.

Our Unmatched Legacy of Service, Expertise and Authenticity Abercrombie & Kent is the world’s premier luxury travel company, with an unrivalled legacy of creating memorable, inspiring adventures in the world’s most compelling destinations. Our approach combines singular service, authentic local expertise and beyond-the-guidebook insider access, all of which come together to create a journey of a lifetime, every time you travel with us.

From our first pioneering safari in Africa in 1962 — when Geoffrey Kent led his debut tour with little more than a refrigerated ex-Army truck and the best tents money could buy — we’ve been setting the standard for luxury small group journeys. A lot has changed in the intervening years, but we still want to take you down the road less travelled, devising unique, meticulously planned journeys into hard-to-reach places to commune with authentic cultures.

Six decades later, with Geoffrey Kent still at the helm, we have grown into a family of over 55 offices in more than 30 countries. These experts have turned their passion for travel into a vocation. We are devoted to making your holiday dreams an unforgettable reality, and our long-standing networks allow us to reveal local secrets beyond the reach of most.

Contents Luxury Small Group Journeys.....................................................5 The finest small group travel experience, setting the benchmark for comfort and service. Rarely number more than 13 guests on average.

Limited Edition Small Group Journeys................................... 14 Designed for the traveller who really want to get under the skin of a more off-the-beaten track destination. Typically feature 8-12 guests.

Wings Over the World.................................................................17 Combining A&K’s timeless luxury small-group travel experience and the time-saving convenience of privately chartered flights between destinations. Feature as few as 12 and no more than 18 guests.

Discover the A&K advantage.

The Most Extensive Network of Travel Experts in the World Underlying each inspiring A&K journey is the most robust tour-operatorsupport network in the travel industry, all working 24/7 to uphold the same impeccable standards. In today’s travel environment, there is no substitute for a company that trains and manages its own full-time staff, personally orchestrating every aspect of your journey with precision and flexibility down to the last detail.

Unmatched Local Access and Authenticity For A&K, having our own local staff is only the beginning. We forge lasting, one-on-one relationships with the people that know your destination best — from craftspeople and chefs to experts in local art and history — so you experience each location from a truly local perspective.

Resident Tour Directors Who Are True Locals Our Resident Tour Directors have lived for decades, if not their entire lives, in the places you visit, and they accompany you every day, sharing their unique understanding of daily life in your destination.

Inspiring Accommodations Open Only to You A&K selects intimate luxury accommodations often only accessible to small groups like yours. Stay in remarkable hotels, tented camps and lodges — many a Condé Nast Traveler Gold List or Travel + Leisure World’s Best hotel.

Safeguarding Your Wellbeing While You Travel A&K requires full COVID-19 vaccination for all guests travelling on our Small Group Journeys. This policy enables us to deliver your travel experience as seamlessly as possible given continued changes to local regulations. We also facilitate required in-country testing during your journey, including for travel between countries and for returning home.

Safe Travels is established by the World Travel & Tourism Council.

When it comes to inspiring travel, a small group makes a big difference.

Group Sizes that Average Only 14 Guests Most Small Group Journeys feature a maximum group size of 18 guests with an average of only 14, and most Wings Over the World journeys have a maximum group size between 11 and 13 guests. The benefits are many, starting with the opportunity to enjoy deeper interactions with your Resident Tour Director and expert local guides, getting to know them for the insightful, dedicated travelling companions they are.

Itineraries Only Possible with a Small Group A small group size lets us craft journeys that are seamlessly orchestrated and packed with the insider-access opportunities that are A&K’s hallmark. Many of your journey’s most memorable activities — whether a celebration at a local monastery or a guided tour of a private art gallery — are only possible with a smaller group. Small groups also enable A&K to reserve one-of-akind accommodations that can’t house the typically larger groups that travel with other companies.

An Intimate Group of Like-Minded Travellers Seasoned travellers say the best part of a journey is often the people you meet. On an A&K Small Group Journey, this extends not just to the fascinating locals you encounter, but to the new friends you meet within your group — in fact, guests who meet on one journey are often soon making plans together for their next.

Guaranteed Departures As soon as we have at least two people booked on an A&K Luxury Small Group Journey, it is guaranteed to take place*. You don’t need to worry about a last-minute phone call saying your holiday has been cancelled. If you’re committed to going, then so are we. *Excludes Wings Over the World.

We deliver the luxuries that matter most.

Immersive Moments that Bring a Destination to Life Experience locally inspired moments crafted by our experts, such as a charming neighbourhood visit by cyclo or tuk-tuk as you Ride Like a Local, or a refreshing cocktail — our Scenic Sundowner — set in a breathtaking location at sunset.

The Flexibility of Design Your Day

Included with Every Luxury Small Group & Wings Over World Journey • English-Speaking Resident Tour Director and Local Guides • Hand-Selected Luxury Accommodations • Travelling Bell Boy Luggage Handling • Breakfast in Bed on Select Days • Traveller’s Valet Laundry Service • Internet Access • Airport Meet and Greet with Private Transfers • Full Breakfast Daily; Select Lunches and Dinners • Entrance Fees, Taxes and all Gratuities Except Resident Tour Director • 24/7 A&K On-Call Support • Guaranteed Departures with Just Two Guests (excludes Wings Over the World)

Experience your destination the way you want to with Design Your Day. On a select day of your itinerary, choose from a minimum of three expert-crafted activities, with one option created specially with active guests in mind, such as a guided bike excursion past Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey in London or a guided walking safari along Kenya’s Mara River.

Dining that Explores Local Flavours We provide you with the perfect mix of planned group meals and mealtimes left unscheduled, as well as opportunities to dine à la carte.

Depending on your journey, experience favourite local restaurants, or enjoy a cooking class or a culinary demonstration.

Travelling Bell Boy and Traveller’s Valet* With A&K’s exclusive Travelling Bell Boy service, you simply leave your packed bags behind in your room as you walk out the door and find them waiting inside your room at your next accommodation. A&K also offers you Traveller’s Valet: complimentary laundry service provided once per journey.

Indulge with Breakfast in Bed* On two select days of your journey, opt to enjoy a continental breakfast in the privacy of your hotel room, compliments of A&K.

Stay Connected on Us Don’t wait for your trip to end to share photos and stories with the folks back home — enjoy complimentary Internet access during hotel stays.

Private Transfers and Gratuities Included Private arrival and departure transfers are always included with your journey, regardless of when you choose to arrive or depart. Likewise, all gratuities are included, save for your Resident Tour Director, which is at your sole discretion. *Excludes Limited Edition Small Group Journeys.

Limited Edition Small Group Journeys.

Limited Edition Originally designed for more intrepid, yet still fastidious, Australian travellers, our Limited Edition Small Group Journeys are expert-led, shared adventures to more off-the-beaten track destinations. They have been creatively designed with a fine balance of breathing room and guided activity, allowing the time and space for more exploration and self-discovery. They also feature educational elements and local encounters that broaden the mind and result in unforgettable experiences in each destination. These journeys typically feature a small group size of just 8-12 guests.

Leisurely Pace Travelling at an unhurried tempo also means more free time in your chosen destination. You can go with the slower flow and explore under your own steam. Your Resident Tour Director and guides will be happy to make recommendations based on your interests and tastes — from niche museums and specialist stores, to hidden city cafés the locals love — so you can get a real sense of place in your mornings, afternoons or evenings at leisure.

Itineraries You Won’t Find Anywhere Else For those looking to blaze a trail, these journeys go farther afield with a bold lineup of exotic destinations, exceptional experiences and insider access.

Uncover the ancient monuments and desert landscapes of Saudi Arabia, otherworldly creatures of Madagascar, the captivating sights and sounds of Cuba, and the intriguing history of Sri Lanka. Experience a fascinating cultural odyssey to the vibrant West African nations of Ghana, Togo and Benin, or journey to South Korea and uncover absorbing local customs, flavoursome culinary delights and cutting-edge art.

Limited Edition Small Group Journeys deliver the luxury of access. They also typically have fewer departures and are less likely to operate in the following year so, with space at such a premium, secure your place now and avoid missing out.

Solo Traveller Special on 2023 Journeys A&K Small Group Journeys are perfect for solo travellers. For a limited time, we will waive the single supplement for the first two solo travellers booked on select departures of our 2023 Limited Edition Small Group Journeys. Please talk to your travel agent or see our website for more information.
