The Galapagos

Lying about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, the Galápagos are a haven for some of the world’s most varied wildlife. It was this diversity that first led naturalist Charles Darwin to propose that species evolved in response to their environment. Darwin’s work also helped to alert the world to the need — urgent even in his own day — to preserve these islands from degradation by humans. Today, tourism to the Galápagos is closely managed, and your visit adheres to the strictest standards of environmental responsibility. Find A&K's Galapagos journeys here.

Kenya

Elephants face extinction in our lifetime, with some 25,000 being lost to poachers in Africa. Tourism makes a difference by supporting tribal conservancies in Kenya. On A&K's Kenya Safari in Style departure, guests privately visit Daphne Sheldrick's Orphanage, seeing young elephants lovingly interact with handlers before being reintroduced into the wild.
