Ker & Downey® Africa launch series of premier LuxVenture® trips in Egypt

An inspiring new series of journeys that showcase the very best of Egypt.

Cape Town, South Africa ( 21 April 2022 ) 

An exciting new addition to the luxury travel company’s portfolio, Ker & Downey® Africa will now offer Egypt as a destination to its discerning clients. The announcement coincides with the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamen's tomb. 

“We have seen a significant surge in demand from our substantial safari market seeking to return to Africa in order to explore new frontiers. To cater to this, we are expanding our destination portfolio starting with Egypt,” says Sarah Morris, General Manager, Private Clients. 

To celebrate the expansion, the company has launched a series of premier LuxVenture® trips that showcase the very best of Egypt from the stirring desert realms of Giza to the lush riverbanks of the Nile. 

Each trip includes the expert service of an Egyptologist guide with some itineraries offering exclusive private insider access to some of the country’s most sought-after sites including the Valley of Kings, the paws of the Sphinx, an active archeological site, and after-hours guided tours of the Egyptian Museum.
