AFRICA: CULTURES, CARAVANS & SAFARIS
An Extraordinary Journey by Private Jet
This is the travel experience you've been waiting for: a journey by private jet encompassing the wonders of Africa, choreographed by A&K.
Join us on a journey from one end of the continent to the other, in the comfort, convenience and style possible only with travel by private jet. Witness the drama of predator and prey on private safari game drives; immerse yourself in the cultures of cosmopolitan South Africa and rarely-visited Mali in West Africa; and see firsthand the traces of the ancient caravans that gave us the marvels of medieval Marrakech.
Our Private Jet journeys, in Africa and around the world, wrap you in five-star luxury, in the air and on the ground. Normally designed to seat 186 passengers, our Boeing 757-200ER jet has been exclusively reconfigured for A&K to accommodate just 52 guests. The VIP extended-recline cradle seats have a 60-inch pitch, perfect for reading, napping or watching a DVD. A spacious lounge provides the perfect setting to gather and reflect on the extraordinary sights you have seen - and kindle new friendships in the process.
We hope you join us on this extraordinary journey that unites Africa's vast gifts into one unforgettable voyage.
