Adventure Travel with Abercrombie & Kent - A Top Adventure Outfitter

Adventure Travel with Abercrombie & Kent takes on new meaning, when you book one of the company's "Extreme Adventures". Travel + Leisure named Abercrombie & Kent one of the "World's Top Adventure Outfitters" in March 2010 and listed the company among the "World's Best Tour Operators and Safari Outfitters" for the last 15 consecutive years. National Geographic Adventure named Abercrombie & Kent one of the "Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth" in 2009.

Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) started as a mom, pop and son travel company, but today there are 62 full-time offices worldwide. The company operates its own safari camps and Nile cruise ships, maintains a fleet of customized safari vehicles, and offers its guests private, sometimes exclusive access to museums, archaeological sites and cultural attractions around the world.

A&K puts an emphasis on respecting the natural environment and benefiting the indigenous people whose lands are visited. Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP) is pioneering a newly evolving form of community development assistance by introducing civic-minded travelers to grassroots organizations making a difference. Last year alone, AKP and A&K travelers contributed a total of $1 million to 50 conservation, health and education projects around the world. For A&K's efforts, the company received Travel + Leisure's Global Vision Awards (2010) and Condé Nast Traveler's World Savers Awards (2008, 2010).

The Boss' Pitch: Why Travel With Abercrombie & Kent

Geoffrey Kent, founder and executive chairman, Abercrombie & Kent Group of Companies, says, "Our guests are educated, active, accomplished professionals and entrepreneurs with an intense curiosity about the world. They are widely travelled, but realize that time is their most valuable resource. They have gotten to the point where their lives are so frenetic that they don't have time to research and plan a vacation; they want someone else to take responsibility for the trip from beginning to end. We have deep roots and long-established relationships through our local offices that make it possible for us to consistently deliver inspiring experiences in a personalized, low-profile and intelligent style…experiences you can't Google."
