Wildlife Safari: Around the World by Private Jet

We share this world with such an astonishing diversity of natural life that experiencing it up close in its natural habitat deserves a spot on every traveller’s bucket list. Join us in February 2024 on our popular Wildlife Safari and circle the globe to explore the world’s most fascinating wildlife destinations.

Fly in style in a small group of 48 guests, encountering species endemic to countries not known for their wildlife, including Japan’s snow monkey and the tiny Philippine tarsier. And, of course, no wildlife journey is complete without East Africa for a spectacular finale in the Masai Mara, home to the Big Five.

Stretch out in comfort on a customized jet equipped with fully lie-flat seats and spend each night in luxurious accommodations chosen for their true local character. Best of all, experience the unique insider access and authentic cultural encounters that set an A&K Private Jet Journey above all the rest.

Join A&K and experience the world’s living treasures on a journey you will never forget.

THE ULTIMATE WAY TO TRAVEL

This A&K Private Jet Journey is the ultimate luxury adventure, an artfully orchestrated sequence of inspiring destinations and once-in-a-lifetime experiences made possible through the flexibility of private air — as well as the unrivalled knowledge of A&K’s local experts around the world.

Your small group of 48 like-minded guests travels on an all-inclusive itinerary packed with world-class wildlife viewing, unforgettable dining and captivating cultural events arranged exclusively for you. Jet from one destination to the next with a staff of expert Tour Managers, a professional photographer and a dedicated flight crew, ending each day in accommodations chosen for their comfort, hospitality and true local character.

From the moment you arrive until the day you bid your private jet crew farewell, experience a journey that combines luxury, authenticity and expertise as only A&K can.

FLYING AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE

Step aboard A&K’s chartered Boeing 757 and enjoy the utmost in comfort and style with 48 first-class, fully lie-flat seats, a dedicated cabin crew who makes your private jet a welcoming home away from home and a range of thoughtful amenities, from an espresso maker and noise-cancelling headphones to Wi-Fi (where available) and entertainment selected to complement your itinerary. Touch down in exotic destinations not easily accessible via the major carriers, reliably coming and going on a timetable based on your itinerary — not an airline’s convenience.

PRIVILEGED ACCESS

A&K pioneered the luxury adventure more than 60 years ago, and our network of local experts is unsurpassed. This enables us to pack your itinerary with authentic events that reveal the heart of each destination you visit, including the opportunity to enjoy a privately guided Zen meditation session, go behind the scenes at an orangutan sanctuary, attend a private performance of a children’s choir in the Philippines and visit a nursing school in Uganda supported by A&K Philanthropy.

“Exceeded our every expectation … what a great experience this ‘trip of a lifetime’ has been.”

— Lisa
