Tanzania
Iconic East Africa
With National Parks and game reserves covering 28% of the country, Tanzania has more land devoted to wildlife than anywhere else in the world and the game viewing in Tanzania is unparalleled. The high point of the year is the spectacular wildebeest migration when great herds cross the northern plains and plunge through the rivers of the Serengeti. Observing the herds at the end of their migration, when they rest to feed on lush grasses and give birth is a lesser known but equally rewarding experience.
Combine the Serengeti with game viewing in the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater and the smaller parks of Lake Manyara and Tarangire, or head south to the remote parks of Nyerere National Park (formerly The Selous), Ruaha and Katavi where you can swap your vehicle for bush walks through raw, uncharted territory. Challenge yourself to climb Kilimanjaro, trek to see wild chimpanzees among the wild jasmine and butterflies of the Mahale Mountains, then head to Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia, otherwise known as the Spice Isles, for a pure barefoot luxury in paradise!

The trip of a lifetime, couldn't have dreamt of a better adventure if I tried.

Everything was perfect! Advice and information on destinations and activities hit everything I had hoped to experience. I contacted the Classic Safari Company upon recommendation and have now, in turn, recommended to others.

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.

Ros Wheeler
It certainly was the best trip we have EVER had. The experiences were mind blowing. We want everyone we know to experience Africa - the animals, the people - magical.
Jo-anne & Dean Mifsud
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!
