Every journey with The Classic Safari Company is more than an adventure – it’s a direct investment in Africa’s future. From protecting rhinos and pangolins, to planting millions of trees and supporting schools, your safari helps conserve wild spaces and uplift local communities. Together, we’re proving that travel can change the world, one journey at a time.
This year alone, we have donated almost $5,000 each to two outstanding charity organisations: PRIDE ROCK TRUST School (pictured) and the . These contributions, respectively, help to educate and feed young children in Zambia and protect pangolins and other lesser-known endangered species including cerval, genet and bush babies.

Dubbed ‘the Greatest Show on Earth’, few can witness the Great Migration and not be profoundly moved. The might of this natural wonder, coupled with its myriad stories of life and death, make this one of the most spectacular experiences of the animal kingdom.

We are so proud of and thrilled for The Classic Safari Company admin teamster, Mel Hochkins! Summiting Kilimanjaro is no small feat, and to do it in the company of two members of Australia's SAS is more than a little intimidating!
Setting off at 10:30pm for the final push, Mel walked through the night to climb 5,895 metres above sea level for what is surely one of the most breathtaking sunrise views in the world.
Well done Mel!
Interested? Mel will be answering our questions for an upcoming blog, and our portfolio of itineraries includes the once-in-a-lifetime Kilimanjaro Climb.

We are so excited for the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum! Not only is it architecturally spectacular, it also contains over 100,000 artefacts dating back thousands of years, many of which have never been publicly displayed.
Some of Ancient Egypt's most iconic historical objects can be seen at Cairo's striking new landmark, including the unmistakable golden funerary mask of Tutankhamun.
While we are eager to plan our next Egyptian excursion, Journeys for Women will be travelling to Egypt this November, perfectly timed to coincide with the grand opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum.
If you'd like to join this once-in-a-lifetime, all-female adventure to the Land of the Pharaohs, contact us today.

Like the spots of a leopard, the stripes of a tiger or the tessellated patterns of a giraffe, no two travellers are the same.

By investigating the whos, whats, wheres and whys, our team grows to understand your specific travel desires and interests, handcrafting a bespoke itinerary that is as unique and special as the person taking it.

That’s why no two Classic Safari journeys are ever the same.

There is something utterly inimitable about the golden light of an African sunset.

While leopards average two cubs per litter and lion, with the added assistance of the pride, have about the same, it is not uncommon for a lone female cheetah to raise four or more cheetlets on her own. And before you wonder, no that isn’t the official term for baby cheetah... but it should be!

Every year, we donate a portion of each and every journey we book to a charitable cause. In 2025, we are proud to announce that the Tikki Hywood Foundation will be one of two recipients.

Every five minutes, a pangolin is poached from the wild, and the world’s most heavily-trafficked animal is in desperate need of our help. By contributing to this incredible operation, we are both helping to prevent the extinction of these wonderful creatures and empowering our guests to assist in making a positive change to the incredible ecosystems they visit.

Green season, low season and the months in between may suffer the odd shower or not be the peak of the Great Migration, but the are numerous benefits in travelling at the quieter times of year, as Travel + Leisure explores:

A Travel + Leisure A-List advisor recommends going on safari during off-peak or “green season” for lush greenery, wildlife spectacles, and exclusive perks like better accommodations and fewer crowds.
