Considered Travel. Protected Places.
A collection of independent lodges and camps in Africa’s wild (and not so wild) places

With our passion for seeking out the unique, we have moved beyond traditional luxury and brought back adventure, fun and purpose. Today that means backing 27 protected areas across 11 African countries, one journey at a time.

OUR PURPOSE
Putting travel to work for Africa’s wild places.

We all have a role to play.

Classic Portfolio exists to show that travel can pay its way for the places it depends on. Together, our members’ levies, fees and partnerships fund conservation and community work across 27 protected areas in 11 African countries.

Since 1993, we have championed privately owned hotels, lodges and camps, each run by people who know their corner of Africa inside out.

Our members are independent, deeply connected to place and chosen as much for the work they support as for the stays they offer. With them, we curate trusted, distinctive journeys that celebrate each one’s individuality.

Because Africa’s future is everyone’s business.
