Cape Town is African yet European, modern yet historic, colourful yet complicated. Its historical and social make up is complex and deep rooted, and this makes it a fascinating place to visit and explore. Snuggly cradled by a shimmering coastline, with Table Mountain as a backdrop and a lovely Mediterranean climate, few can resist the charm of Cape Town.

A selection of the experiences you could enjoy in Cape Town:

City Bowl

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.
