Geoffrey JW Kent (Born July 14, 1942) is the founder, chairman, and CEO of (Abercrombie & Kent ), an international luxury travel company. Kent is credited with introducing the first luxury photographic African Safari 〔Wiese, (Icons and Innovations ) "Robb Report" January 1st, 2006〕 in 1962. ==Early life== Geoffrey Kent was born while his parents, Colonel John and Valerie Kent, were on safari in Northern Rhodesia -- now Zambia. Growing up on the family farm in the Aberdare Highlands of Kenya, Kent's childhood was spent in the wilds of untamed Africa. Kent attended the (Duke of York School ) in Nairobi, which produced many of Kenya's business and science leaders. At 16, Kent undertook solitary exploration of the African continent that would in many ways come to define the course of his life. On a two-month trek, Kent became the first to travel by motorbike 5,000 miles between Nairobi, Kenya and Cape Town, South Africa.〔(A Life in Travel - Geoffrey Kent ) "Be Happy Magazine", n.d.〕 After attending the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, Kent saw service in countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, and Malta. Kent's distinguished armed forces career was cut relatively short as a result of hearing damage from years spent in heavy tanks.〔(Geoffrey J.W.
