About Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP)

A&K founder Geoffrey Kent pioneered the community-first approach to conservation more than 60 years ago when he launched the world’s first modern luxury safari. His trailblazing ethos, “Shoot with a camera, not with a gun,” changed the way people travelled in Africa. Up until that moment it was about trophy-hunting; suddenly, the real prize of a safari was seeing these beautiful, spectacular creatures up close in their natural habitat. Today, we still believe that the best way to protect our planet’s remaining wilderness is to invest in the communities who live there. Fostering a sense of appreciation and value of the natural world is the cornerstone of our approach to conservation of wildlife and wilderness — and this starts with people. In alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals, our projects focus on education, enterprise, health and environment. Through these initiatives, we aim to support, empower and educate local communities to facilitate the protection of their surroundings, and to ensure that the people in the places where we travel also benefit directly from tourism. The A&K Philanthropy nonprofit network now spans 24 countries on all seven continents, positively impacting hundreds of thousands of lives and helping preserve some of the world’s most precious ecosystems as we continue to celebrate travel as a force for good.
