A&K Sanctuary

An extensive renovation of Baines Lodge in Botswana’s UNESCO-listed Okavango Delta is now complete, with the A&K Sanctuary property reopening its doors to guests.

The latest addition to the A&K Sanctuary fleet, Pure Amazon, has set sail on the waterways of the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve in the Peruvian Amazon.

A&K Sanctuary’s new Kenyan safari lodge, Kitirua Plains Lodge, is now taking reservations from 1 June 2026 and beyond, as excitement builds around the opening of the “architecturally adventurous” property.

A&K Sanctuary has shared details of its fifth riverboat set to sail the Nile in 2026, touting Nile Seray as its “most sophisticated and spacious yet”.

A&K Sanctuary has unveiled a first look at its recently renovated Gorilla Forest Lodge. Located within Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the redesigned Gorilla Forest Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary, is the only luxury option inside the park gates. With that, the lodge provides “unparalleled” gorilla trekking access.

A&K Travel Group expects to take delivery of its new Peruvian Amazon riverboat in July,  LATTE can confirm. Speaking exclusively with LATTE earlier this month in Melbourne, Cristina Levis, CEO of Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group noted that there had been a “little delay” to the A&K Sanctuary vessel due to recent flooding in the Amazon that extended for several weeks.

Abercrombie & Kent (A&K) has revealed plans to expand its award-winning A&K Sanctuary portfolio with the creation of a new luxury retreat in Moab, Utah in the USA. A move into the American West will bring A&K’s spirit of immersive adventure and elevated design to one of North America’s most iconic landscapes.

Abercrombie & Kent will continue to expand its global reach and luxury offering, with plans fast-tracked to develop a destination management company (DMC) in Bolivia in South America, LATTE can exclusively reveal.

A new era of investment and expansion is underway for Abercrombie & Kent’s portfolio of safari camps and lodges, following its recent rebrand from Sanctuary Retreats to A&K Sanctuary.
