About Abercrombie & Kent
Abercrombie & Kent was founded in 1962 by Geoffrey Kent when he headed out into Kenya’s bush country with little more than a tent, his mother’s silver ice bucket and a Land Rover adapted to provide refrigeration.

Today, fifty-five years on from that first safari in East Africa, you can experience the A&K difference in more than 100 countries on all seven continents. With a network of 54 offices around the world and a family of more than 2,500 travel experts, A&K is in a unique position to ensure that every aspect is arranged with exacting precision for a stylish, seamless and safe journey.
