I wanted to say we had a fabulous time on safari; it far exceeded my expectations. I genuinely do not have words to describe it, but if this helps demonstrate the depth of my feelings, I cried when I arrived & sobbed when I left!!!

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

We are in Nairobi airport, awaiting the flight to Dubai, and I wanted to let you know that we had a most fabulous trip, the best ever family holiday. Jeffrey, your organisation was seamless, the lodges were luxurious, the people were genuinely charming, and the experiences were exciting, unique and uplifting.  Each day somehow managed to create a new thrill, when we thought it would be impossible to cap the previous day. I could go on with more superlatives - suffice to say that I could not have imagined a better birthday celebration.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

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

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

Kim & Brad Balance

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.
