AFRICA

This continent is the cradle of humanity, culture and wildlife. It has spawned millions of species, from thumb-sized frogs to elephants. Africa is also the birthplace of Abercrombie & Kent, which began in 1962 as a pioneering luxury safari company. Beyond its thrilling wildlife encounters, Africa has fascinating cultures, cuisines, and histories, ancient and modern. East Africa’s wilderness of grasslands is buffered only by sky, plains of rust-red earth and deserts bigger than many nations. Cape Town’s wine and finedining scenes are legendary, the neon-spangled streets of Nairobi and Johannesburg speak of a bright future, while clues of ancient civilizations are etched on cave walls in Botswana. 13

MICE

Often referred to as the Jewel of East Africa, Kenya offers the unique combination of exceptional game viewing and a rich diversity of ancient cultures, from the Maasai people to the Turkana. The country is home to some of the best national parks and game reserves in Africa, with a staggering array of ecosystems ranging from snowcapped mountains to palm-fringed ocean beaches. A&K operates exclusive mobile camps in Kenya, an experience that is unique in a location specially selected and privately set up for your client. This product symbolizes the African dream that everyone imagines, organized by A&K to the luxury standards that are only found in 5-star lodges. Our Kenya operation has one office in Nairobi, with over 100 staff including multilingual guides and drivers. In Kenya, the “big five” are easily photographed and the sheer density of wildlife leaves onlookers in awe. Incentive guests can witness thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River from the peaceful sanctuary of a hot-air balloon; eat fresh seafood aboard a traditional Arab dhow, and watch the sun set over the Olooloo Escarpment as our A&K guide regales them with stories from the Kenyan bush. One incentive specialist will handle your entire file, from initial contact through to the departure of the group. We can comfortably handle groups from 15 to 180 guests on safari.

TANZANIA

AFRICA

Famed for being home to Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers spectacularly varied landscapes from vast, rolling plains to great lakes and talcum-soft beaches. Travelers can be awed by the largest wildebeest migration on earth, spot some of the world’s most cunning predators, meet vibrant tribal peoples, and snorkel over untouched coral reefs. Close to 40 years old, our Tanzania DMC is based in Arusha. Over 100 staff, including our own guides and drivers for our fleet of 45 vehicles, make us fully equipped to handle incentive groups of up to 200 guests.

With some of Africa’s oldest and best known tribes, like the elegant and proud Maasai or the Wahadzabe bushmen, authentic interactions are still possible. In addition to the traditional African safari, we can arrange gala dinners on private beaches in Zanzibar or even a James Bond-themed night in the middle of the Serengeti. For incentive groups looking for a challenge, a Kilimanjaro climb is the ultimate adventure. We are the only international incentive specialist with a wholly owned ground operation on the mountain. Our dedicated management team reviews all aspects of your clients’ climb and helps determine which route is right for them while providing impeccable standards of safety and service on the mountain.

SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa is a nation of diverse appeal, from the rich culinary and cultural treasures of cosmopolitan Cape Town to the wildlife-rich expanse of the Greater Kruger National Park. Many different cultures are united within its borders, hence the Rainbow Nation moniker, and no less than 11 official languages are spoken, from Afrikaans to Zulu. Few places are better for spotting the Big Five than Southern Africa’s luxurious private reserves, where your clients gain unobstructed views from open four-wheel-drive vehicles. Highly skilled rangers know exactly where to look for the majestic lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino that roam and prowl the plains. In the Cape region, where a Mediterranean climate blends with European cultural influences, there are ample opportunities for MICE activities, from mingling with the penguins at Boulders Beach to sampling superb specialties in the Cape Winelands. Since 1982, A&K South Africa has been creating inspiring experiences for spirited travelers throughout the Southern African region. Our travel consultants are all experienced, multilingual experts in their field, making use of some of the most modern reservations and communications systems to ensure a seamless and fail-safe service.

Our A&K DMCs can arrange magnificent MICE journeys to Rwanda, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, with multi-destination itineraries easy to curate thanks to our well-established infrastructure and seamless reservations and communications systems.

Our teams across East and Southern Africa work closely together to offer one proposal, one point of contact, and one point of payment, ensuring trouble-free trans-Africa safaris.

Tuk Tuk Ride through Chinatown, Bangkok, Thailand

ASIA

Asia is a treasure chest of time gone by, of dynasties, dzongs, geishas and Great Walls, but also of bullet trains, robots and hologram concerts. Terracotta warriors outnumber endangered pandas in China; street-food stalls collect Michelin stars in Singapore, orangutans can be glimpsed in Borneo; Japan’s valleys echo with folk tales while its cities move at breakneck speed. The slow, storied Mekong weaves through Southeast Asia: Cambodia, where the temples of Angkor Wat rise from the jungle; Laos, with its French influences; and Vietnam, where hill tribes lead treks. This region is also blessed with idyllic beaches, from Thailand to the Philippines, and world-class surf breaks in Bali and Sumba. 19

MICE

A&K China commenced its destination management operation in 1983 and now has three offices in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai, which support a vast network of operations across the country.

For VIP groups we can also offer elite airport services for both arrival and departure, as well as private chartering arrangements. Itineraries are curated to suit your client’s tastes and needs, whether that’s an early morning tai-chi lesson in front of the Temple of Heaven, a dragon boat team-building session, a hike along Hong Kong’s Dragon’s Back, or a candlelit dinner on the Great Wall of China. We open doors to normally closed sites: going backstage at the Peking Opera, accessing the residential palaces inside The Forbidden City, or visiting the Terracotta Army restoration lab are all among the extraordinary activities that only A&K can offer.

EUROPE

Scandinavian meadows dozing in soft summer sunshine. Bracing Alpine peaks blanketed in snow. Coastlines which court the affections of storied seas and oceans: the Mediterranean, the Ionian, the Aegean, the Adriatic, the Atlantic, and the Baltic. Grand cities which remember the Ancient Greeks and Romans, in epic landmarks and visible history – but play for today in trailblazing museums, galleries, opera houses, and theaters. Culinary flair which folds global ingredients into local dining scenes. True, there are bigger continents than Europe – but none, perhaps, with its diversity of attractions and landscapes. 39

Our fleet of three exquisite expedition yachts—Origin, Theory, and Evolve—redefines luxury at sea. Each vessel is an intimate floating boutique hotel, offering just ten spacious staterooms and a host of elegant amenities, including a refined dining room, cozy library, fitness center, sophisticated bar, serene main lounge, and expansive sun deck complete with a Jacuzzi, wet bar, and plush daybeds.
