from the greatest ocean dwellers to the smallest primates, we experienced a dazzling world of wildlife.
From the noble Bengal tiger to the placid whale shark, from the endangered mountain gorilla to the playful lemur, the incredible diversity of Earth’s wildlife is arguably the true wonder of the world. I invite you to travel on a new departure of Wildlife Safari, a journey by private jet that circles the globe to bring you up-close with the most memorable creatures with which we share this planet. Travel in a small group of 48 guests, encountering iconic — and, regrettably, often critically endangered — animals with the best experts at your side. Meet the little-known species endemic to countries not known for their wildlife, including Japan’s snow monkey and the tiny Philippine tarsier. And, of course, it would not be a wildlife journey without a return to East Africa, where A&K began, to seek out the Big Five in the Masai Mara for a spectacular finale. From one destination to the next, travel in style on a customized jet equipped with fully lie-flat seats, staying in unique and luxurious accommodations along the way. Best of all, enjoy the unique insider access and authentic cultural encounters that are a hallmark of A&K’s journeys by private jet. I hope you will join A&K on this thrilling and unforgettable adventure. Geoffrey Kent Founder & Co-Chairman Abercrombie & Kent Follow @geoffrey_kent on Instagram
