When you want to commune with lions and elephants without roughing it, you go with Abercrombie & Kent USA (A&K USA). It is the American arm of Luxembourg-based Abercrombie & Kent Group, which provides luxury travel packages (including safaris, cruises, and train travel) to places like the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica, and Egypt. Travelers are accompanied by local guides who are employees, not subcontractors. The company also has a private vacation option called the Marco Polo Club, which offers discounts and other perks. Chairman and CEO Geoffrey Kent and executive vice chairman Jorie Butler Kent lead Abercrombie & Kent. A&K's roots reach back to 1962, when it was founded as a safari company in Kenya.
