Classic Retreats was founded in 1993 and has established a reputation for being one of the leading international marketing organisations representing privately owned safari lodges and hotels in Southern Africa. Our commitment is to keep the group small and exclusive with properties that are unique, have excellent levels of service, accommodation and cuisine, and are known for their friendly staff and embracing atmosphere.
Classic Retreats was founded on the basis that many smaller privately owned game lodges and hotels do not have the resources to undertake their own international marketing, but by being collectively pooled with like-minded products and jointly undertaking representation, they are able to reach a broader market. Today many operators recognise Classic Retreats as a quality brand of leading game lodges and hotels in Southern Africa as well as offering reliability, efficiency and an honest service. The Classic Retreats group is aimed at the up-market independent traveller.
Classic Retreats provides an opportunity to generate referral business between members, all of whom can confidently recommend their colleagues’ hotels and lodges to their own guests, knowing that they all share the same high degree of commitment to offering all that is good in African hospitality.
Classic Retreats – the Employer
Working for any of the game lodges or hotels that fall under the Classic Retreats banner will provide you with exceptional career opportunities. The lodges are situated throughout Southern Africa, thereby providing you with a unique opportunity to explore Africa whilst gaining invaluable experience.
The range of job opportunities at the various lodges we represent is immense. Exciting opportunities are also on offer at Classic Retreats, based in Cape Town, South Africa, for those in the Marketing field.
