Founded in 1962 by Geoffrey Kent and his parents in Nairobi, Kenya. Abercrombie & Kent began as a small safari outfitter and is now a world-class luxury travel company. A&K has always sought to provide its clients with the opportunity to experience the world in a truly unique way – with style, innovation and ease.
Fifty years on, the company has firmly established itself as a sophisticated, dynamic global travel business offering organised travel to the most spectacular places in the world. With over 2200 dedicated staff in 50 offices worldwide, Abercrombie & Kent continues to offer privileged access and superior service in every corner of the globe.
Managing Director of A&K Australia, Sujata Raman told guests that, ”Abercrombie & Kent still believes that travel is the most fulfilling and worthwhile pastime”.
“Whether it’s ‘glamping’ in Tasmania, igniting your senses in India, exploring colourful Mexico, cruising the Nile on a dahabiya or a life-changing experience in Antarctica, Abercombie & Kent remains committed to redefining people’s perception of the world of travel”, she said.
Ms Raman also paid tribute to A&K’s many and varied achievements accomplished over half a century and the way in which the company has redefined experiential travel around the world.
She was also delighted to present a spectacular – and entirely fitting – prize of a luxury African safari valued at $29,000 to one lucky guest. Christina Pfeiffer only purchased her raffle ticket moments before the prize was drawn and was astonished and delighted to be the recipient of such a fantastic holiday courtesy of A&K and Sanctuary Retreats. Fourteen other guests each received an original framed photograph by acclaimed photographer David Lazar, shot on location in Kenya.
