TAILOR-MADE 2020-2021 “Adventure by Day, Luxury by Night” TAILOR-MADE 2020-2021 “Adventure by day, luxury by night” Dear traveller, In 1962, I founded Abercrombie & Kent with nothing more than a game-changing idea, a refrigerated ex-Army truck, and a Texan couple – the Worthings – with whom I worked to plan the perfect safari, a 30-day itinerary that went from Kenya to Tanzania to Uganda. It was designed just for them and exactly what they wanted. More than 55 years later, we still understand that every journey is unique and every traveller individual. We continue to deliver personalised holidays, curated around our clients’ needs, wants, and desires. Our tailor-made service allows you to build your perfect itinerary; mixing and matching, choosing from hand-picked experiences, the ultimate in luxury accommodation, and bespoke Travel Edits. The result? A truly unique, individual, once-in-a-lifetime holiday. Whether you wish to get close to the bush on a fly camping adventure in Tanzania, meet the Kayapó tribe in the Amazon, or bike Australia’s Barossa Valley, your journey will be unforgettable. I believe our tailor-made holidays epitomise the heritage and handicraft behind each A&K itinerary. Luxury, authenticity, and excitement await you.
