Abercrombie & Kent: London Winter Newsletter 2018/19

TRY SOMETHING
NEW
No one itinerary fits all. With recommendations at your fingertips,
you’re never at a loss for what to do. Perhaps you’ll go glamping in
Chile’s Atacama or travel solo for the first time. It’s about finding
meaningful experiences that you have yet to try.
TRAVEL SOLO IN INDIA’S GOLDEN TRIANGLE
Travelling solo as part of an escorted tour means experiencing the most profound
journeys and making deep connections. And there’s nowhere better to do this than in
India. With your new friends, you’ll learn how to create traditional curries in Delhi
and observe how past empires collide with the new. In Udaipur, you can head off-thebeaten-track
to see one of A&K’s Philanthropy projects, a children’s home aimed at
improving literacy. For something a little different, visit the Jhalana Wildlife Reserve,
Jaipur’s newest safari destination, where you can track leopard. Enjoy a meaningful
moment with your like-minded group at the Taj Mahal, an architectural masterpiece.

Splendid Rajasthani heritage with
unrivalled views over Lake Pichola
Enjoy this experience as part of a
10-night Splendours of the Golden
Triangle escorted tour from £2,355
PLANE RIDE OUT OF AFRICA-STYLE
Revel in an Out of Africa moment with a private flight over the wild
Kenya escarpment. Take to the skies in a vintage yellow biplane
where, from its open cockpit, you will be treated to unparalleled
views of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and snow-capped Mount
Kenya. A romantic experience which you can’t find anywhere else in
Africa. The flight is led by Will Craig, a former crop-dusting pilot and
expert on his homeland skies. Feel the wind in your hair as you weave
around ravines, otherwise inaccessible, and swoop over valleys home
to the Big Five.
Lewa Wilderness Camp
A chic rustic hideaway with thatched
cottages and sweeping valley views
Enjoy this experience as part of any
tailor-made trip to Kenya. Speak
to a specialist for further details
GLAMPING IN CHILE’S
ATACAMA DESERT
If you’re game for a spot of off-beat adventure, try a night of glamping
in the driest desert on the planet. Not to mention the world’s foremost
place for stargazing. Arrive at your camp as the sun goes down on the
tangerine rockscape and enjoy dinner by a crackling fire with a lunar-like
desert backdrop. Sip on fine Chilean wine and curl up under a star-filled
sky. A personal guide can help you decipher a supernova from a white
dwarf before you’re left to gaze at the luminous sky or rest your head
under canvas.
Alto Atacama
A desert lodge surrounded
by the Cordillera del Sal
Enjoy this experience as part of any
tailor-made trip to Chile. Speak to
