RECONNECT WITH 

THE WORLD

RECONNECT WITH 

THE WORLD IN 2021 

For most of us, the world shrunk during this past year. Our once-broad horizons 

narrowed to the size of a screen as we spent more time at home and less time 

with the people we love – in the places we love. 

We’ve sorely missed the tactile and immersive experience that we believe only travel 

can provide. However, now with a clearer future ahead thanks to vaccine roll-outs, 

‘Test for Release’ schemes, and more destinations being added as travel corridors, 

we can eagerly anticipate authentic, off-screen connections. 

In short, as we transition to 2021, we can look forward to reconnecting with each 

other and the world in the year to come. A&K offers myriad luxurious ways to go 

offline and plug back into destinations around the globe: tailor-made holidays, 

beach and villa holidays, escorted tours, and expedition cruises. 

As you would expect from a company with an unmatched legacy of service, 

expertise and authenticity, you can book with the utmost confidence. 

We’ve introduced an enhanced ‘Book with Confidence’ policy – 

one of the most flexible on the market. 

When it comes to travelling in comfort and style, allow us to handle the details.

WHY CHOOSE A&K 

But don’t just take our word for it... 

“This is the second time I have used 

A&K, and the main reason for 

doing so is the trust in your service, 

expertise and kindness in arranging 

our first trip to Africa in 2018. 

We set you so many challenges that 

you had to re-book everything, 

including flights for a year later. 

This you did with enormous 

sensitivity and efficiency. Despite 

looking around at other tour 

operators for our second African 

adventure next year, I had no wish 

to go elsewhere. It was a very easy 

decision to book again through 

you due to the trust we have built 

up in A&K.” 

Colin, 2020, Trustpilot 

“We booked a holiday to Madagascar for September 2020 and, 

with Covid-19, it looked very unlikely we would be going. Not only 

was our travel adviser flexible about delaying the final balance 

payment but, when our flights were cancelled just a few days later, 

he rearranged our trip. We have found A&K to be very responsive, 

pragmatic and flexible. We are very happy we booked with them.” 

J. Berry, 2020, Trustpilot 

“Absolutely fantastic. It was our silver wedding anniversary, and 

they couldn’t have done enough for us to get away safely in this 

mad Covid world. Harry Wignall, who dealt with us, was 

hard-working, knowledgeable and professional. We also dealt 

with David Stone, who was amazing too. Couldn’t recommend 

them enough.”
