OUR PRIVATE JET JOURNEYS AFRICA:
HIDDEN HORIZONS WITH
Abercrombie & Kent’s founder Geoffrey Kent was born on safari and grew up barefoot in the bush of Kenya, his beloved homeland. In the 1960s he and his parents launched our company and pioneered the first modern luxury safari, a bespoke mobile camp unprecedented in its sophistication. This inimitable combination of adventure and extravagance 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 travel experiences all over the globe. In the same spirit of adventure, we have pioneered the world’s most exciting and extraordinary Private Jet Journeys aboard our own luxury A&K-branded Boeing 757, each itinerary designed to reveal the world’s most inspiring destinations as no one else can.
Artfully orchestrated and unfailingly authentic, an A&K Private Jet Journey reveals places you will never forget in ways few other travellers get to experience. From the moment you board your chartered jet, every door opens for you, above-andbeyond is par for the course and each day embodies the very best of every place you visit.
We design each journey to immerse you fully in the cultures and landscapes you visit, combining A&K’s unbeatable insider access and logistical expertise into an itinerary that delivers an unbroken chain of inspiring experiences. Come face to face with rare and endangered wildlife, explore museums and historic sites before they open to the public and dine in extraordinary natural and historic settings – each day opens a one-of-a-kind window on the place you are exploring.
Our unique touch extends to every aspect of the experience. Your chartered jet is equipped with fully lie-flat seats and crewed by a dedicated cabin team, complete with executive chef. A small group size – just 48 guests – ensures ample room to explore, along with plenty of one-to-one interactions with your tour staff. And each night ends in a hotel, lodge or camp representing each destination at its best.
Join us on a journey that exceeds all expectations –and redefines your notion of what is possible in travel.

A magic carpet for the modern age, the private jet whisks globetrotters from one far-flung haven to the next with a glorious, unrivalled sense of freedom
Physical and material comfort are of course defining elements of the Private Jet experience – the pristine interiors, the horizonspanning vistas, the wholly personalised service, the top-notch food and drink. Add to that an organisation humming behind the scenes to execute your expertly designed itinerary without a hitch, freeing you to explore stress-free and alive to every moment. The net effect is tremendous – a journey that elevates the spirit as it reveals the world’s marvels.
Travelling by private jet allows you to stitch together many distant and disparate worlds. You go not merely from A to B, but from A to Z – in high, frictionless style.
Take, for example, Epic Islands and Landscapes: Around the World by Private Jet – one of the globe-spanning itineraries included here. From Fort Lauderdale, Florida, you fly south to the Galápagos Islands, followed by Easter Island, the Cook Islands and New Zealand. And then Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Sicily before finishing up in Boston, Massachusetts – all in just 26 mesmerising days. Meanwhile, Hidden Horizons
with Geoffrey Kent: A Private Jet Journey celebrates the world's often-overlooked and endlessly fascinating destinations: the Portuguese Azores, Algeria's Ottoman-influenced capital, the pinnacle of Ghanaian hospitality in Accra, West African island life in Sao Tome, nature at its grandest from Victoria Falls to the Seychelles, and the half-remembered histories of Kazakhstan and Bulgaria. At every stop, our team delivers only the best in food, hospitality and the kind of experiences that show you each destination through local eyes.
Pulling off continent-hopping, showstopping journeys like these takes a lifetime of expertise and a colossal network of local connections – beyond the capabilities of most commercial airlines. In the absence of a transporter beam or a real magic carpet, A&K’s chartered private jet is the only path to an adventure that is truly unbelievable.

MAHE → RAS EL-KHAIMAH (5H 15M)
RAS EL-KHAIMAH → ALMATY (7H 15M)
Lying near the heart of Central Asia, Kazakhstan blends nomadic traditions, Silk Road heritage and modern innovation into a culture that feels both ancient and forever on the move.
Almaty reveals itself as a city where history, culture, and nature converge in unforgettable ways. Begin with after-hours access to the Central State Museum, where a senior curator leads you through silent galleries of artefacts and treasures hidden from public view. Step deeper into tradition at the Museum of Musical Instruments, where an ethnomusicologist introduces you to the sounds of the steppe with a private performance. The Green Bazaar is your introduction to the city’s beating pulse, where a local culinary expert connects you to vendors, flavours and family traditions. Conclude at the Sunkar Falcon Farm to observe these apex predators in a closed-session flight before meeting the master berkutchi (eagle hunters) who preserve this living legacy. Design your Day options include a deep immersion into Kazakh culture, a felt-making workshop at an art centre or the chance to unwind during a restorative spa treatment. Meals: B L D


TRADITIONAL KAZAKH SOUNDS
Hear how the history of Kazakhstan is reflected in its music at a dedicated museum where a local expert introduces you to traditional songs, followed by an exclusive performance.

NOVEMBER 5–7
ALMATY → SOFIA (6H 25M)
Home to some of Europe’s oldest traditions, Bulgaria offers tantalising glimpses of a half-remembered past amid cobbled streets, ancient ruins and rituals faithfully carried to the present day.
Bulgaria carries the heritage of many ancient civilisations, and nowhere is this more evident than in historic Plovdiv, possibly the oldest town in Europe. Visit the ancient Theatre of Philippopolis, still a working open-air concert venue, as well as the Stadium of Philippopolis. Stop for lunch at the Philippopolis Art Gallery, reserved exclusively for you, and wander at your leisure among the collection. Sofia’s heritage is equally ancient, and your local guides bring it to life as you visit Roman remains, the Church of St Sophia, the city garden and Aleksandar Nevsky Cathedral, among other sites. Privately experience the mystical Kukeri festival tradition, a spellbinding cultural ritual, and spend an afternoon exploring via your selected Design Your Day option. For the grand finale to your adventure, gather at a restaurant nestled in the Vitosha Mountains, surrounded by fresh air and beautiful woods. As you tuck into your traditional Bulgarian feast, watch a folkloric performance followed by a traditional fire dancing display. Meals: B L D
