If you are eager for a unique travel adventure, something exciting and memorable, seek out Abercrombie & Kent, an award-winning luxury travel company that’s released its 2026 private jet journeys, featuring four around-the-world itineraries.
These expertly planned journeys, all enjoyed from the unparalleled comfort and convenience of A&K’s private jet, showcase lesser-visited and familiar destinations in ways even seasoned travellers have never experienced. Of course, there are other options as well.
Live through the ultimate luxury vacation in every region, on all seven continents. Small-group and private and small-jet journeys, expedition cruises and travelling by boat bring a fresh perspective on the world. Flying privately opens up the furthest-flung corners of the world, and every journey is unique.
A&K’s managing director Australasia, Debra Fox, said since 1962 “we have set the standard for experiential travel”.
“We believe that every journey should be extraordinary; every life, well travelled,” Debra said. “Today we continue to set the gold standard for wildlife adventures, with our own safari lodges in six countries in Africa.”
If you take one of the packages from Wildlife Safari, there are also options to visit Portland, or Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, Madagascar, Rwanda, Kenya and Boston.
Antananarivo, the capital city of Madagascar, is in the island’s Central Highlands. The heart-shaped Lake Anosy in the city centre is ringed by jacaranda trees.
Holidaymakers will encounter Japan’s most beloved primate, the snow monkey, and enjoy a celebratory evening with a geisha in Tokyo.
In the Philippines, the experience will be of the unforgettable thrill of swimming alongside the majestic whale shark. Two rare primates, the honey bear and orangutan, await discovery, along with a private feeding of Borneo’s proboscis monkey.
The journey continues to India, where the search is on for the Bengal tiger in its largest remaining wild habitat.
Madagascar beckons with playful lemurs, followed by a festive dinner featuring local musicians.
Venture into the jungles of Rwanda, where gorillas and golden monkeys roam, and gain insights from a passionate conservation researcher.
Finally, to the birthplace of A&K – Kenya – where signature guides will lead you through the Maasai Mara to search for the Big Five and visit a Maasai village school, part of the A&K Philanthropy Program.
Journey from one of the least-visited parks in northern Tanzania to two of the most celebrated and beloved locations in all of Africa. Swala Camp, in Tarangire, a little-known jewel teeming with elephants and lions, Kichakani Camp, in the Serengeti, and Olonana, in the Maasai Mara, just across the border in Kenya, put you front and centre for the incomparable wildlife spectacle that is the great migration. Commune with the world-famous elephant population of Tarangire – as well as a resident herd of impala.
Time your visit to coincide with the iconic Mara River crossing or the extraordinary wildebeest carving season. Revel in the sheer scale, sweep and uplifting beauty of the Serengeti and Maasai Mara. Watch the sunrise on the savannah from a hot-air balloon, followed by a champagne breakfast picnic à la Streep and Redford.
Track gorillas in the lush forests of Rwanda, follow herds of zebras across the Serengeti and unwind in luxurious tented camps on an unforgettable wildlife-watching odyssey.
Rwanda gleams like a green jewel in the heart of Africa. Here’s your chance to experience the very best of it, from tracking chimpanzees and mountain gorillas in lush, volcanic forests to exploring tranquil waterways by kayak and touring coffee plantations, with a journey crafted by experienced Africa specialists.
Building on the work of primatologist Dian Fossey in the 1970s, mountain gorilla habituation brings thousands of visitors each year and has arguably saved the endangered species. Trek through farmlands and bamboo-wrapped slopes to meet the great apes, cheered by communities directly benefitting from tourism.
Wildlife is also flourishing in other areas of the country. Listen to chimpanzees drumming buttress roots in the primordial forests of Nyungwe and watch the Big Five traverse plains and woodland in the remarkably regenerated Akagera National Park.
Once torn apart by genocide, Rwanda’s population takes patriotic pride in preserving traditions. Fishermen sing in unison as they row across Lake Kivu, pastoralists lovingly herd sacred Ankole cattle, and the streets are – without fail – immaculately clean.
Discover the Indian Ocean’s wild side on an off-the-beaten-track adventure through Madagascar, one of Africa’s greatest, most unspoilt wildernesses. Tailored to your tastes, this journey will steer you from the main highlights of the country and into its lesser-known corners, where brilliant wildlife and dramatic landscapes will amaze you at every turn.
Hide away in the depths of the wilderness in boutique lodges – your base for enlightening exchanges with local tribes, guided forest walks and scenic picnics beneath serrated limestone landscapes.
Best news of all is an experienced tour director leads the expedition, overseeing the itinerary from start to finish!
