Planet Africa (previously Green Footprint Adventures) is not a huge company, but that hasn’t prevented it from developing a real name for itself and receiving recognition in the safari world.
Whether the positive feedback comes from people who have experienced a safari with us before, or from articles and interviews – our name is out there and we are proud to say that it is a good one.
If you are serious about going on safari with us, we would be happy to put you in touch with former guests of ours. This can be very helpful if you want assurance that your specific requirement will be taken care of, such as going on safari with children. If you have an opinion to share, please send us an email – your feedback is always very welcome.
To give you a good idea of what your safari could hold in store for you, we also recommend that you read our questions and feedback section as an introduction. Find out what others have to say about us in order to give you a better picture of our company. Finally, Green Footprint Adventures (only called Planet Africa Safaris from July 2009) appears in some trusted travel guides, such as the Lonely Planet or the Rough Guide - always a good endorsement.
