About African Classic Safaris
African Classic Safaris (ACS) was founded in 2003 by Craig Maartens. The founder’s long history within the hunting, fishing and photographic fraternity has enabled us to provide our clients with tailor-made safaris throughout Southern Africa. With many years of experience, we at ACS are proud of our reputation for professionalism. Along with offering our clients the opportunity to hunt in some of the best concession areas in southern Africa, we strive to provide the highest standards of service and accommodation. Our goal at ACS is to harness that experience and fulfil your vision of the perfect journey. We hope that you will come and join us in this part of the world for that magical experience we call SAFARI...
