We’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how it changes you. From the very beginning, we set out to do things differently. No cookie-cutter tours. No giant buses or cruise ships. Just real people, venturing out into the world with open minds, open hearts, and a sense of purpose. For over 35 years, we’ve been creating life-changing experiences that connect travellers with the communities they visit — not just passing through, but showing up with care, curiosity, and intention. We call it community tourism, and it’s been in our DNA since day one. But we’re not just a travel company. We’re a people company. Powered by the passion of our team, the heartbeat of our local partners, and the energy of every traveller who’s ever said “yes” to something new. To travel your heart out is to go all in. To move through the world with compassion, courage, and joy. It’s about embracing the bizarre, celebrating the beautiful, and connecting with something bigger than yourself. It means leading with love — for the planet, for people, and for the possibilities that come with saying let’s go. We don’t do this to fill passports. We do it to fill lives. To build connection. To create joy. To leave the world better than we found it — one step, one trip, one ripple at a time. This is travel that goes way beyond travelling. This is G Adventures. And we’re just getting started.

Abercrombie & Kent was founded in 1962, when Geoffrey Kent and his parents pioneered the first modern luxury safari, a bespoke mobile camp unprecedented in its sophistication. This inimitable combination of ‘adventure by day, luxury by night’ became the blueprint not just for Abercrombie & Kent, but for the entire concept of experiential travel. Six decades on, now under the ownership of Geoffrey Kent’s long-time friend and travel partner Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio, Abercrombie & Kent is an international company renowned for creating thrilling, innovative and ultra-luxurious journeys all over the world. Our network is unrivalled. Behind every A&K journey is an international support system of more than 2,500 staff, in 60 offices, in 35 countries, on all seven continents.

Our people are the core of our expertise and what our travellers remember most. They make Abercrombie & Kent exceptional, and our travellers’ dreams a reality.
