Why Abercrombie & Kent
Geoffrey Kent and his parents, Valerie and
Colonel John Kent, founded Abercrombie &
Kent in 1962. The company's beginnings
were modest; Geoffrey Kent remembers
their first safaris were conducted with little
more than "a Bedford truck and my mother's
sterling silver ice bucket." In 1967, Geoffrey
Kent, now Managing Director following his
parents' retirement, decided to expand
A&K's signature style of travel. In 1969, he
began opening additional companies in
Africa; in 1971 he met Jorie Ford Butler of
Oak Brook, Illinois and opened a sales office
in the United States.

Safari in East or Southern
Africa?
SOUTHERN AFRICA

EAST AFRICA

The wildlife in Southern Africa is as varied as that
of East Africa, although less dense and found in
smaller herds. Game trackers apply their skill in
finding the elusive animals and it is a thrilling
experience to be a part of the track. With
Southern Africa having a large concentrations of
private game reserves, there is a higher
frequency of “close up” safari experiences that
take place when out in the bush.

The wildlife in East Africa, specifically in Kenya
and Tanzania, is found in higher concentrations
than elsewhere on the continent; the great
wildebeest migration alone contains two million
individuals. Rwanda and Uganda are also
home to the two largest primate species and
both these countries can be easily combined
with a wildlife safari in Kenya or Tanzania.

Southern Africa has a stunning variety of
superbly contrasting landscapes. From the
deserts of Namibia with its rolling sand dunes
onto the flat floodplains of the Okavango Delta to
the towering heights of the Drakensburg
mountains.

There are a myriad of spectacular landscapes
in East Africa - from the soaring mountains of
Kilimanjaro and Kenya, the primate rich jungles
in Rwanda and Uganda, the many rolling
grassland savannahs and the long, wide
beaches of the coast.

Southern Africa offers a myriad of cultural
experiences, along with active adventure, family
explorations and wellness journeys.
Cosmopolitan cities like Cape Town and
Johannesburg offer unusual art experiences, and
premium shopping for luxury fashion brands.

East Africa has numerous activities available
from walking safaris to soaring over the plains
in a hot air balloon. There are also a wide
variety of cultures for guests to experience
from the more famous Masai to the lesser
known Batwa pygmies.

South Africa in particular is a foodies heaven with
a wide range of culinary delights to suit any
traveler. There are also a huge number of
spectacular wine farms and world class
restaurants in Johannesburg, Cape Town and
the Winelands.

Not a renowned destination for food but the
properties offer delicious meals. There is also
the option for guests to have a local cooking
class in a village, gaining a real life
understanding of the lives of the local
communities.

The best beaches in Southern Africa are found in
Mozambique which can be reached from any of
the Southern Africa countries, or hop over to
Mauritius.

Both Kenya and Tanzania have glorious
beaches with powder-white sandy beaches just
a short flight away from the national parks and
reserves.

BOTSWANA
The country is a year round destination. May to August is the dry winter season with moderate days and cold nights. June to

great game viewing. May to October sees increasing numbers of animals concentrated along the Chobe River and central Savute

changes into a lush green area and birding is excellent as migrant species arrive in the area. There are plenty of young antelope
around.

MOZAMBIQUE
April to September offers a sub-tropical climate and is the best time to visit. May to November is winter with cool temperatures and the
least chance of rain. December to April is the wet summer season with brief downpours followed by sunshine. January and February
is cyclone season in Southern Mozambique. We advise avoiding the Bazaruto Archipelago during this time.

NAMIBIA
The sand dunes of Sossusvlei can be visited at any time of the year however the dry winter climate from March to October is the best
time to visit. September and October can get very hot. October to April is summer and the best time for bird watching. May to August
is winter and the best time for game viewing in Etosha National Park. June and July can have very cold nights. November and April is

with mild daytime temperatures runs from May to October and is the best time to go to Zambia for game viewing in the South
Luangwa and Lower Zambezi National Park. September and October however can get extremely hot. The rainy season is from
December to April when the bush is beautifully thick and green. This is the best time for bird watching as there are many migrant
species in the area. February to May is the best time to visit the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side. The falls are at their fullest from
April to May. October and November is dry season with very little water coming over the Zambian side of the falls. White-water rafting
is done at this time.

Garden Route: When travelling along the scenic roads, relax and enjoy
the drive, stopping off at popular spots such as George, Wilderness,
Sedgefield, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Nature's Valley, Storms River
and the Tsitsikamma National Park. Mountains crowd close to a
shoreline dotted with beaches and bays.
Victoria Falls has become a focal point for action-packed fun including
sightseeing flights over the falls. A fun way of exploring Victoria Falls is
the Bamba Tram - a return tram experience through Zambezi National
Park, onto the historic Victoria Falls suspension bridge. You may
disembark the tram and take in the impressive scenery of the Victoria
Falls, the gorge and the Zambezi River down below. The Elephant
Encounter affords guests the opportunity to unobtrusively spend time
and connect with these magnificent creatures, a cherished memory that
will last long after returning home.
