Not great info
We booked through this company without realising same trip half the price through company in Cape Town . The driver was ok but obviously ready to retire as seemed bored , Jeep very old and we had paid top dollar so expected excellent Jeep but not the case . We were told to buy all our equipment so after spending over a thousand dollars each discovered the lodge supplied everything for gorilla trekking and all info about that was not great . Our lodges were great and food and service but will not use this company again . Absolutely no follow up on return which speaks volumes

A fantastic experience from start to finish with the Classic Safari Company
My Wife and I wanted something different and a bit special for our Honeymoon so we decided on a Safari! After a lot of searching and googling we came across Kath Austin at the Classic Safari Company and from the start to finish delivered a fantastic experience.
Kath was very helpful and knowledgeable and provided us with a range of different options to meet our tight budget. We decided on multi stop honeymoon travelling from Cape town to Sabi Sabi Sands for Safari and then onto Zambia for the Victoria Falls.
Kath was very organised and was always available to take our calls and questions, she even came into the office out of hours to change my wifes flights (at very late notice) due to a family illness! And it is this extra mile that establishes the Classic Safari company as one you can trust.
Before leaving for our honeymoon we were provided with a fantastic booking pack containing a detailed itinerary and a summarised itinerary, including all our transfer, hotel and flight vouchers so we knew exactly where to be and when. It also included some complimentary luggage tags and shirts to get us in the safari mood which was a very nice touch!
From the moment we touched down in Cape town our transfers were smooth and friendly and the hotels were amazing.
1) In Cape town we stayed at the V&A Waterfront - very nice hotel, fantastic location overlooking table mountain with plenty of restaurants nearby.
2) In Sabi Sabi sands we stayed at the Arathusa Lodge - We booked the Luxury room which was clean, modern, spacious and extremely well decorated. The staff, rangers and food was excellent and we saw the magnificent 7 (including a wild dog hunt). It also has its own waterhole which was huge and always had activity (hippos, elephants, zebras, warthogs, impala etc
3) In Zambia we stayed at the Royal Livingstone hotel. A beautiful hotel and the rooms were amazing with great views of Victoria falls. I must say however the service received at the hotel certainly needed some work! A few times I ordered a drink a had to keep chasing them to remind them of my order!
Kath must also have made it clear during the reservations it was our honeymoon because a note and bottle of champagne was waiting for us at the V&A waterfront hotel. Thanks Kath! :)
In summary we could not have asked for better from the Classic Safari Company and the experiences we had on our honeymoon. I will therefore without hesitation recommend the Classic Safari company and Kath to all my friends and family!
Thanks Kath! :)
