At A&K, we like to fuse the spirit of adventure with a generous helping of luxury and R&R. For example, we know that when you’ve been on safari in Kenya there’s nothing better than dusting down your khakis and swapping them for a kaftan and a spot of sunbathing on the beach in the Seychelles. And this is just one of the six perfect-partner holiday experiences our experts have put together to ensure you arrive home from your adventures feeling reinvigorated.
