A Letter from Geoffrey Kent Founder and Executive Chairman of Abercrombie & Kent

Apr 13, 2009

Imagine the African dirt crumbling beneath your boot, marking the final step on your ascent to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Picture the icy Arctic air stinging your face as you skim over Norway’s snow-white tundra on a sled pulled by four bounding dogs.

Experiences such as these are rare but essential for travellers seeking the ultimate thrills — and the satisfaction of conquering them. That is why Abercrombie & Kent introduced Extreme Adventures, journeys expressly designed to challenge you as nothing else can, to leave you a different person from when you set out.

You may seek extremes in the deserts of Egypt or in the jungles of Belize; you may even venture out on foot to the South Pole. Wherever you go, you will be faced with conditions that alter your understanding of what is possible, of the obstacles you can overcome. And you will do so with the support of the most capable and experienced guides in the world.

I wish you a rewarding Extreme Adventure.

Geoffrey Kent
Founder and Executive Chairman
