Following two sold-out departures in 2014, Abercrombie & Kent is inviting travelers to explore Africa in 2015. A small, intimate group of 40 guests will travel by private charter jet, visiting seven countries over 19 days.
Guests will observe a family of rare mountain gorillas in Uganda and witness the Great Migration in Tanzania’s Serengeti. They will experience Zambia from a private tree house on the Zambezi River at Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma camp, take a helicopter tour above Victoria Falls, and admire the towering dunes along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. The journey concludes with gourmet experiences in the Cape Winelands of South Africa. Abercrombie & Kent has combined these highlights into one comprehensive itinerary: Africa: Across the Continent by Private Jet.
“Travel by private jet allows guests to experience far more than they could on a conventional itinerary and with greater ease and access,” said Phil Otterson, president of Abercrombie & Kent. “Our guests understand the value of this, which led to our 2014 Private Jet Africa departures selling out in just weeks and generating long waiting lists.”
The company charters a Boeing 737 to deliver an elevated private jet experience. The aircraft is fitted with roomy business-class seats so guests can stretch out and relax between destinations. The dedicated flight crew accompanies the group throughout the journey, learning each guest’s preferences and creating a familiar, welcoming environment onboard.
This multi-country adventure is designed for travelers who want to see the continent’s signature wildlife, landscapes, and cultural highlights without the constraints of standard commercial schedules. By combining remote safari camps, iconic natural wonders, and refined culinary and wine experiences, the itinerary balances active exploration with comfortable, curated accommodations and service.
Highlights of the route include:
- Uganda: guided treks to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat
- Tanzania: front-row views of the Wildebeest migration across the Serengeti
- Zambia: riverside stays and unique accommodations along the Zambezi
- Victoria Falls: aerial perspectives and time to experience the falls’ dramatic scale
- Namibia: visits to the Skeleton Coast and its monumental dunes
- South Africa: culinary and wine-focused experiences in the Cape Winelands
Travelers interested in a personalized, effortless way to traverse multiple regions of Africa will find this private jet journey appealing. The small group size ensures individual attention, while the chartered aircraft minimizes transit time and maximizes time spent in each destination.
