Classic Safari Camps of Africa is an association of independent, privately owned camps and lodges in some of the most beautiful wildlife and wilderness areas in East and Southern Africa. Each of these unique establishments offers genuine hospitality and an intimate knowledge of Africa’s natural environment, and is dedicated to conservation and the involvement of local communities sharing and conserving the spirit of Africa.

In an increasingly corporate and globalised business environment, Classic Safari Camps of Africa members include some of the last great ‘characters’ of the African Safari world. Passionate about their camps and operations, and intimately involved with every aspect of them, the camps reflect their individuality and personal style. Standards and service are of a bygone era, with emphasis on guests’ comfort, relaxation and enjoyment of an authentic African experience in the Classic tradition.
