Curated Safari Insights & Specialist Guide

Why Abercrombie & Kent Remains the Gold Standard for Luxury African Safaris

Abercrombie & Kent practically invented the phrase 'luxury safari' over six decades ago. What makes A&K truly exceptional is that they own and operate their own local destination offices throughout Africa.

While other operators must outsource local logistics to third-party providers, A&K maintains its own fleet of custom safari vehicles, its own permanent guides and trackers, and its own private luxury camps. This ensures absolute reliability, rigorous safety standards, and unmatched VIP access.

When booking your A&K safari through Africa Travel Agents, our Signature Travel Network affiliation provides you with exclusive welcome perks, room upgrades at partner properties, and personalized itinerary guidance.
