Customer Reviews

We have returned from our Safari in Uganda and Kenya with nothing but great experiences and memories. The organisation and planning of all the details was flawless. From your first contact with me to the final details, everything was so easy and quickly done. During our trip, every detail, every transfer, every connection was Perfect! It was such a relief knowing that we never had to worry about the next day of travel. So again, “THANK YOU” !!

I have arrived back from my Southern African holiday……a customised trip organised by The Africa Safari Co., a trip through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and into Namibia.

Everything worked like clockwork, a true testament to The Africa Safari Co. and their contacts, and their knowledge of Africa. Every guide was there on time, and highly visible, to greet me at the many meeting points throughout the journey. Every booking accurately made, and a well documented itinerary. The itinerary selected by them was varied, engaging, and full of the excitement and mystery promised in all the stories, movies, books and fantasies we all have as children, while growing up, and as adults.

Thank you The Africa Safari Co. …… a truly memorable time.

My first time to Africa and The Africa Safari Co did not disappoint! I explored Namibia and the staff on the ground there, the transport, accommodation & activities were all exceptional! If you are considering an African adventure most definitely use The Africa Safari Co!

We spent 3 weeks in Africa, and 2 of those were travelling with The Africxa Safari Co. We started with 3 days in South Africa. Picked up at the airport on time, taken to our accommodation. Spent the next two days being shown around with a wonderful guide. Off we went then to Botswana, for another 3 days. We stayed at Kasane at the Bakwena Lodge. OMG this place is AMAZING! We saw all of the big 5 other than rhinos, within the first two days! We then went to Victoria Falls and yet again we were blessed with great accommodation and I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this company!

We have just returned from a wonderful safari in Kenya. The organisation of the tour by The Africa Safari Co. meant that nothing was left to chance and all we had to do was enjoy our holiday. Thankyou The Africa Safari Co.

I have travelled twice with The Africa Safari Co. The first in 2015 when we went to Uganda Gorilla & Chimp Trekking and again in 2017 to Tanzania & Kenya. With 25 years experience in Africa their product knowledge is amazing and the staff really know their stuff. When putting itineraries together they offer great suggestions to work within time and budget restrictions. The local ground operators have been fantastic, very friendly with a great knowledge of the game and areas we travelled. If you are looking for an amazing Africa experience don’t look any further than The Africa Safari Co.

I just wanted to let you know, George and Ana have returned from their honeymoon, and they said it was everything they hoped for and more!

They were so happy with everything, and I’d like to thank you and Susie for all your recommendations and expertise in putting this together.

Your documentation was also the best of any I’ve ever received.

So a big thank you and I look forward to putting my next Africa booking with you!

HOME OF LUXURY AFRICAN WILDLIFE SAFARIS

You will love.

LET US DESIGN YOUR PERFECT AFRICAN WILDLIFE SAFARI

DESTINATIONS YOU'LL LOVE

Luxury experience.

Safe, peaceful & democratic, with a Smart Traveller green stamp of approval, Botswana stands as a pillar of the African community, leading the way with visionary politics, sustainability and conservation. These factors, combined with some of the most pristine wilderness and highest game densities in the world, make it an aspirational African wildlife safari destination.

In the footsteps of pharaohs

For thousands of years Egypt has been the playground of emperors and kings. Great civilisations have risen from its sandy interiors and the Nile continues to bring life to an otherwise barren land. Much of the scenery has barely changed since biblical times and the entire nation is wrapped in an ancient mysticism which has beguiled writers and romantics for centuries.

The land that time forgot

Ethiopia is an awe-inspiring and intriguing forgotten land. Its story begins with the emergence of early human-ape homins including the famous ‘Lucy’ and its history is laden with the treasures of great empires and faiths. The rich tribal culture is testament to the pride of a country that has never been officially colonised.

The Original Wildlife Safari Destination

Kenya is the home of the original African wildlife safari (the word ‘Safari’ means journey in KiSwahili) and is still, quite deservedly, the continent's most iconic destination for African wildlife safaris. One-tenth of all land in Kenya is designated as national parks and reserves, the most famous being the Maasai Mara, which plays host to the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebra.

Wild, weird and wonderful

Madagascar’s African wildlife safaris showcase some of the most peculiar life forms on the planet. The wild National Parks teem with dancing lemurs, aye-ayes, fossas (a cat-like predator), rare birds, colourful chameleons, frogs, lizards, butterflies and a host of weird and wonderful insects and plants – a staggering 80% of which are only found on this island. Out-of-the-ordinary African wildlife safaris found here!

Bush & Beach Adventure

Malawi boasts undiscovered scenery, wildlife strongholds and adventurous activities to rival any of its neighbouring, and better known, African wildlife safari destinations. The Great Rift Valley has gauged an immense chasm down the eastern flank which now, brimming with crystal clear water, forms Africa’s third-largest lake: Lake Malawi.

Exotic colours, history and culture

A brief overview describing Morocco's highlights would outweigh War and Peace and still only skim the surface. The exotic colours, history and culture that have attracted travellers from time immemorial are still vibrantly visible and unlike anything else Africa has to offer. 

The pearl of the Indian Ocean

Mozambique’s beaches are the main pull for most travellers. Endless swathes of white sand sweep dreamily along the coastline, palm-fringed freshwater beaches hug Lake Malawi and the Quirimbas Archipelago is a remote paradise of azure waters, mangrove forests and community-based conservation projects.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

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.

We are so happy we put our trust in CSC, we had an amazing adventure and would recommend them to anyone.

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.

Classic Safari are the people who genuinely know other culture and offer incredible insight to perfectly meet your expectations.

We loved it all. Our son wants to go back tomorrow. We would ALL go back again!

An amazing experience - the best family holiday we have ever had. We were extremely impressed by the meticulous attention to our itinerary. I can't speak highly enough of all the elements of this exciting journey!

Thank you for making our trip to Africa so spectacular. The attention to detail really made it special. It really was the trip of a lifetime.

Very knowledgeable and patient. Our trip was all that we hoped for. Wonderful!

Everything was perfect! Advice and information on destinations and activities hit everything I had hoped to experience. I contacted the Classic Safari Company upon recommendation and have now, in turn, recommended to others.

You can't improve on perfection. I had my best birthday and holiday with my family celebrating my 80th birthday in Africa. Everything that Julia organised was perfect and the whole trip was a highlight!

The trip of a lifetime, couldn't have dreamt of a better adventure if I tried.

Absolutely everything was first class & so well organised.

Classic Safari Company has done it again! A unique experience that ticked all the boxes - wildlife, culture and dining experience. A dream come true!

Their experience and knowledge of Africa is evident and we couldn't have been happier with the total package. This has given us a taste for Africa - now we are ready for more.

If you want the most sensational experience in Africa let Julia and the staff at Classic Safari Co plan it for you! Their knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm for their job means your every wish will be fulfilled.

Classic Safari is the place to go to for "top end" adventure travel.

Classic Safari Company were brilliant - 10/10

The Classic Safari Company is the best I have dealt with. Extremely knowledgeable & professional, friendly, patient & understanding of first timers to Africa.

It certainly was the best trip we have EVER had. The experiences were mind blowing.  We want everyone we know to experience Africa - the animals, the people - magical.

Would do it all again and not change a moment. Best holiday ever!

An absolutely fantastic travel company - every one of the many trips they have organised for us over 22 years have been faultless and fabulous.

What our Clients from around the globe say

The Rippon Family - Melbourne, Australia

Thank you Rowan and team for organising our incredible trip to Africa. It was even more amazing than we’d hoped. The people, places and scenery really do have to be seen to be believed. Your knowledge of the local areas in Zimbabwe and Botswana helped to create a unique and tailored family experience!! And yes…that lion was about 2m away from our vehicle!!! 😬

Margie and Alan - London UK

Sensational Africa have done us proud. They recommended and then organised everything from our flights to baggage storage at Maun; an amazing safari experience deep in the Kalahari in Botswana at a Ker and Downey camp (Dinaka). Whilst there it rained and we witnessed the desert flora and fauna coming to life. From flowers that appear for just a few days a year, to migrating birds on a stopover, bullfrogs feasting on nuptial termites, and frolicking baby wildebeest and impala. Our trip was a delight, made even more special by the exceptional hospitality, comfort and safari guiding provided by Dinaka Camp. We thank Sensational Africa for their outstanding organisation taking into account our personal preferences and wishes. Margie and Alan.

Orest - Edmonton, Canada

Big thank you to Rowan at Sensational Africa for an amazing guided trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe. What an amazing host and experience with incredible wildlife. You planned my itinerary just right and all your recommendations were just perfect. You hit the mark with all the lodges with seamless transfers. I will definitely be booking my next trip soon back to Africa. I highly recommend Rowan and his team. Cheers from Canada, for now!

Neill & Lori - Brisbane, Australia

After Covid restrictions we were finally able to indulge in an African Safari in Botswana’s Okavango Delta and Kalahari. Highly anticipated, it did not disappoint. 5 different lodges with superb accommodation, friendliest staff and the African bush wildlife at its best. Every day was filled with adventure. Based on Rowan’s personal experience, he planned a trip that was just right for us. We loved it and highly recommend Sensational Africa for any African adventure you are considering. Every step of the way had been arranged and we were in very capable hands at all times. Relax, take it all in and enjoy every minute!

Luxury African Safari Tours

South Africa beckons with its diverse landscapes, are you ready for a personalised safari adventure with Destinations Africa, where your dreams become the guiding force of your journey. Picture yourself cruising down the Zambezi River , absorbing the enchanting scenes of native wildlife along the banks.

In Kenya, nature becomes a masterpiece, and the landscape is a canvas painted with the towering peaks of rugged mountains, the endless stretches of the Masai Mara savannah, and a wildlife tapestry of astounding density and diversity. Here, amid the vibrant pulse of the African heartbeat, is where safaris were born.

The very word “safari,” resonating with a sense of adventure and exploration, finds its roots in Swahili, the language of this quintessentially African nation. Translating to “journey,” the term captures the essence of the Kenyan safari experience. It is a journey through landscapes that echo with the whispers of ancient stories, where the untamed wilderness offers an unrivalled spectacle of nature’s grandeur.

As you stand in the shadow of rugged mountains that pierce the sky, you’re reminded of the timeless majesty that has inspired explorers and poets alike. The Masai Mara, an endless expanse of savannah, invites you into a realm where the circle of life unfolds in the dance of predators and prey. In Kenya, wildlife isn’t merely observed; it’s encountered in its most authentic and untouched form.

Why YOU Should Book a Kruger National Park Safari

Since the earliest days, when those first tourists excitedly entered the Kruger in 1926, the Park has become a place of immense fascination, so much so that it is featured on countless bucket lists as a must-visit travel destination.

It is one of the oldest and most diverse wildlife parks in the world and the best way to explore it is on safari

Safaris in Africa have taken guests to some of the most beautiful places on the continent, introducing them to a whole new world.

The term safari originated from the Arabic word “safar” which translates to “making a journey”. It then evolved into “safariya” and then later turned into the Swahili word safari, a direct derivative of the Arabic word. But back then, safari was not linked to travelling from the word go. Rather to go on safari would mean to embark on a trading mission.

Initially, the holiday-style safaris became popularised by literature which introduced the concept to overseas tourists who had previously never imagined such a thing existed. And with the creation of cinema, the enigma that was the safari suddenly leapt from the imagination and onto the big screen, bringing the possibility of enjoying such a trip to life.

In the 20th century, the safari quickly became the ultimate holiday although it was not as we experience it today. Back then, safaris were not only sold as a way to see the “Dark Continent” but they doubled as a hunting expedition.

Originally, there was only one African safari, and it was rustic. Luxury did not exist in Africa back then, at least not luxury as we know it today. Guests would sleep where they stopped for the night, in rough tents, and would travel not in the air-conditioned comfort of a safari vehicle, but rather on foot, in a cart and on horseback.

The safaris would often take place in East Africa, with many travelling to Kenya. In what is considered the original safari destination, guests would learn what life was like for those who followed a culturally-rich, traditional way of living.

Guests would experience an eclectic mixture of landscapes, cultures and wildlife, leaving the continent with a greater sense of the world.

As the popularity of such trips soared, the safari underwent many developments. Trips extended right across Africa, covering the north to the south, the east to the west. And the word safari took on a whole new meaning, becoming an umbrella term defined by whatever prefix word it was given.

These uniquely-African tours remain one of the continent’s greatest tourism treasures and millions flock here each year to indulge in that sense of great freedom, and welcoming hospitality that Africa is well-known for.

And they come for the diversity of wildlife.

Africa has remained committed to protecting its priceless animal heritage. And there is no better example of this passionate, unyielding dedication and commitment than the famous Kruger National Park.

The Differences between visiting a National Park and a Private Reserve

The Kruger National Park is a national park, hence its nickname “the People’s Park”. But if you were to select a different park in the area, you might be visiting a private park, and if that is the case, then there are a few things that you need to know:

Self-drives

Often, a private reserve doesn’t allow guests to self-drive and so rented vehicles are on occasion only permitted to be driven to the lodge at which the guest is staying but not around the reserve itself. In public parks, guests have more freedom in this regard and can self-drive using their rental vehicle.

Guided and Private Drives

In the private reserve, a guided game drive is the norm. In the public national park, self-drive is the norm although some camps in the Kruger offer guided tours and guests always have the option of signing up for a guided tour with a reputable tour company operating in the area.

The same goes for the private game drives and night drives, although in the Kruger, the only night drives permitted are those done by official park guides.

Accommodation and Amenities

Private reserves are known for their luxury accommodation, comfortable beds and showers, and private pools. In national parks, most accommodation facilities and amenities such as the swimming pools, are shared by guests. Private nature reserves also don’t allow camping whereas in the national parks, camping is often the norm.

Vehicles at sightings

This has become a bone of contention in many national parks. When a fantastic sighting has occurred, vehicles swamp the area, with everyone vying for a look and perhaps that perfect photo. The issue is that not everyone gives the next person the chance to see what they are seeing and so guests miss out. The other issue is that so many vehicles can end up scaring the animal away.

In private game reserves, the number of vehicles at a sighting is limited. Large tour buses are also prohibited from entering private reserves, for much of the same reason.

Not all guests want or can afford the luxury trips and while both private reserves and national parks have luxury stay options, private reserves do not cater for those who are travelling on a budget. National parks have a wide selection of budget accommodation options, and those who choose to travel with a tour company will find that there are so many tour packages that it is quite easy to select the appropriate one.

Why should you book a tour of the Kruger National Park?

If seeing wildlife roaming the mountains, forests and plains of Africa has always been your dream, you probably don’t need any more reason to book your Kruger safari. The Park is home to some of the biggest and most diverse animal populations on the planet so spotting wildlife is a guarantee.

The landscapes are also an attraction and they vary from wide open plains in the centre and north of the park, where antelope are chased by cheetah through the swirling grass, to the thick forests that run along most of the Park’s rivers. The west of the Park is filled with rocky hills in which leopards and lions raise their cubs while the east of the Park has its legendary acacia trees.

The Kruger National Park is also considered one of the best places in the world to see the well-known Big 5.

There is no right or wrong way to tour the Kruger, and there is also no specific amount of time to spend in travelling the dusty roads. A morning is sometimes more than enough time for some guests to see all they have come to see, although they are the lucky few. Ideally, a week in the Park is perfect for an all-round, memory-filled safari.

So, if you are still deciding on whether or not you should plan a trip to the Kruger, perhaps this will help you make up your mind:

The Park has some of the largest populations of wildlife. For instance, around 2,000 lions live here alongside some 20,000 elephants.

Visitors are more than just tourists - their visit plays a direct role in conservation. Not only do their entrance fees go towards the upkeep of the Park and the protection of wildlife, but their very interest helps keep the Kruger going.

The diversity of the landscapes makes for some incredible photo opportunities.

The Kruger is situated in the third largest biosphere on the planet. The Kruger to Canyon Biosphere is quite famous for its unique vegetation.

The Kruger’s location is easily accessible from most of the country’s biggest cities. As most guests will arrive via O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, they are within 5 - 6 hours driving distance from the Park. The easiest way to get to the Kruger via the city is by using a tour transfer or to drive yourself.

South Africa is one of the most urban countries on the continent. This means that not only is the infrastructure sound, but guests will have access to everything they need, from medical care to their favourite face cream, should they have left it at home.

Some of the best guides in the world can be found in the Kruger. Not only are they perfectly capable of conversing in English but they are also immensely professional and highly knowledgeable.

There are many other places to explore in South Africa. Although the Kruger might be the main attraction for your holiday, the diversity of the country means there is so much more to see! Guests who intend to stay longer can look forward to planning a whole South African experience.

The Kruger is also wonderfully affordable, with the exchange rate benefitting overseas tourists. The Kruger tour operators also offer several safari tours, which means guests can plan accordingly to their budget to enjoy the very best of what the Park has to offer. Or, they can travel on their own.

Every trip is unique. The fantastic thing about the Park is that no two experiences are the same. Sightings change every moment and what you see might be what someone else misses. So every day spent in the Park is a once-in-a-lifetime experience in every sense of the word.

What are the best times of the year to visit the Kruger?

Throughout Africa, every safari is planned according to the rainfall. There are parts of Africa, and indeed parts of the Kruger, where rainfall can completely flood an area, blocking roads and effectively putting a halt to all safaris.

It is immensely important that when a safari trip is being considered, guests should be aware of the time of year they intend to travel and the kind of weather they can expect to encounter.

The Kruger National Park lies in a summer rainfall area. Summer in South Africa runs from around September to the end of February, although it never really cools off completely until around May. Rains fall all throughout the summer months but from January to February, the Kruger is prone to flooding.

Best Times to Travel

The summer months are mostly considered the Park’s low season as the heat keeps a lot of people away. Not only do temperatures heat up to above 40 degrees Celsius in the summer, but the humidity can also be unbearable. And with the humidity and rain, mosquitoes become a bit of a pest.

Late afternoon and evening thundershowers are a norm this time of the year. Summers also make visibility less than ideal as the grass is overgrown in most parts of the Park.

During this time of the year, guests will enjoy the best safari prices though, as it is low season, so this is one perk for travelling in the summer months.

Low chance of rainfall and a high chance of tourists - travelling in winter has both its pros and its cons. Winter is considered the Park's peak season as it is the most comfortable time of year to travel but the downside is that the Park is filled with guests and so, the prices are also higher than usual.

If you intend on travelling to the Kruger between the months of May to September/October, you should consider booking your trip around 3 to 6 months in advance. The upside of travelling through the Park in winter is that not only is the malaria risk lower than usual, but visibility is superb and the risk of flooding is virtually non-existent.
