AFRICA, INDIA, SOUTH AMERICA & BEYOND…
Creating bespoke wilderness journeys since 1992
We are Australia’s leading bespoke travel and African safari company. Since 1992 we’ve been designing bespoke travel itineraries to some of the world’s finest wildlife and wilderness regions embracing the exotic, the rare and the curious.
From A-nthropology to Z-oology, we specialise in voyages of discovery for enquiring minds. Authentic encounters can never be packaged!
BESPOKE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES & TAILORMADE SAFARIS
The Classic Safari Company creates journeys into the world’s wildest and most beautiful places, where landscapes are untamed and wildlife roams free. We believe true luxury lies in space and silence, where tourists are few and far between and style is refined but understated, allowing the wilderness to sing.
Each of our bespoke journeys is crafted with care to bring a seamless blend of adventure and elegance, and every detail is designed to deliver a deep connection with nature and place, perfectly tailored to you. Our travel experts draw on deep knowledge and personal passion to shape journeys that feel both extraordinary and effortless.
Whether it’s riding across wide-open plains on horseback, tracking big cats on foot, sailing through icy fjords on a small expedition vessel, or simply sitting by a fire beneath a starlit sky, every moment is curated to awaken a sense of wonder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simply get in touch with our team via the contact form or by calling us directly. We’ll begin with a conversation to understand your interests, travel style, budget, and preferred destinations — then craft a completely personalised itinerary for you.
We specialise in Africa’s finest wilderness regions — including East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania), Southern Africa (Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, Namibia), and island escapes such as Mauritius and the Seychelles. Every destination we recommend is one we know intimately.
Absolutely. We design family safaris with all ages in mind, selecting properties and activities that are both child-friendly and genuinely rewarding for adults. We’ll advise on the best age-appropriate destinations and experiences to ensure the whole family comes home with memories for life.
For peak season travel (July–October in East Africa, school holidays in Southern Africa), we recommend booking 12–18 months in advance to secure the best camps and lodges. That said, we can often accommodate last-minute travel — just get in touch and we’ll do our best.
Every itinerary is unique, but typically includes accommodation, meals and drinks as specified per property, game drives or guided activities, park fees, internal transfers and flights, and the ongoing support of your dedicated Classic Safari consultant throughout your journey.

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.

Kim & Brad Balance
Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.
Milford family
We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!
Mark Taylor
Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.
Elizabeth Mackintosh
Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip.
