Revealing Moments that Last a Lifetime
We believe that travel holds the power to shape our worldview in unique ways. Many of our guests experience their journey’s most impactful moments during a visit to an Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP) partner community.
Available at numerous destinations, these opportunities afford a wealth of local interactions and insights you won’t experience any other way. Whether celebrating a newly opened maternity ward in a Zambian village or witnessing the impact of clean wells in rural Cambodia, these visits forge memories that last a lifetime.
Building on a Legacy of Partnership
Since its inception in 1982, AKP has been dedicated to giving back to the vibrant communities we’re so privileged to share with our guests, working to improve education, conservation, healthcare and community enterprise. Today, these partnerships span 35 projects in 18 countries and seven continents — a philanthropic commitment unequalled in the travel industry.
