What Is Tailor Made Private Travel?
To help plan the trip of your dreams, Abercrombie & Kent’s Tailor Made Travel Consultants bring a rare blend of knowledge, patience and most of all, creativity and caring to designing a customized itinerary that reflects your personal passions. We take time to understand your needs, get to know your tastes and interests, and then use A&K’s global network of 50 overseas offices and travel partners to make the arrangements.

The ultimate luxury is peace of mind, which comes from having everything professionally pre-arranged and reserved, with an English-speaking guide meeting you when you arrive in each new destination. Part storyteller, part scholar and part expert organizer, your guide orchestrates each day from beginning to end.

Customized travel has been at the heart of Abercrombie & Kent’s business since the very beginning.  We’ve planned honeymoons, around-the-world trips, safaris for three generations, tours of exclusive wineries and museum visits with exclusive access for art aficionados. And with our local expertise and connections across the globe, we can arrange experiences you never imagined possible.

Still not sure if Tailor Made private travel is the right fit for you? Take the A&K Travel Quiz on the website to define your personal travel style.

Stylish Luxury Accommodations

Tailor Made Travel is the ultimate in personalization, designed to take you only to the places you want to go, at a time and pace that best suits you. Working directly with you or your travel professional, our well-travelled experts create an itinerary tailored to the places and activities you long to see and do. Choose from five-star boutique hotels or breathtaking wilderness retreats to create the perfect dream vacation.

The Sanctuary Retreats portfolio of luxury safari camps and lodges in Africa offer an intimate boutique experience with the added promise of authenticity. Located in some of the most stunning locations in Africa, each property is completely unique in its design and committed to the philosophy of “Luxury, naturally”.

In South Africa, former fashion designer Liz Biden brings an incredible sense of style to each property in the Royal Portfolio. Royal Malewane, once her family’s country retreat, has been transformed into an ultra-luxurious safari hideaway near Kruger National Park. Birkenhead House in Hermanus has a stunning, modernist aesthetic and is one of the few places on earth with whale watching from the beach. La Residence is an intimate boutique hotel in the Winelands on a 30-acre vineyard estate near Franschhoek (two hours from Cape Town).  

A worldwide synonym for luxury, Four Seasons has built an unrivalled portfolio of five-star hotels and resorts in the world’s most desirable destinations. Each property embodies Four Seasons’ commitment to custom-crafted visits that allow you to experience a destination in a way meaningful to you, through unique insider knowledge and special access to what makes every place exceptional.
