PlanetWildlife, a touring company specializing in nature oriented, custom tailored travel, has acquired Perfect Africa, a luxury travel company based in South Africa, on May 1, 2013, expanding the company’s reach to lesser traveled areas of the continent.
“As a wildlife-focused tour operator, Southern Africa is a key destination for us. The region not only has some of the best wildlife in the world, but also has some of the most responsible lodges, distinctive cultural experiences and endless adventures,” says Sachin Agarwal, CEO of PlanetWildlife. “As this is an important destination for us, we wanted more control and confidence over the customer experience we can provide our clients, and Perfect Africa allows us this control.”
PlanetWildlife takes a comprehensive approach to sustainability, facilitating the discovery of other cultures and the preservation of the wildlife found within them. They are currently undergoing a period of expansion, featuring a growing selection of customizable itineraries to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Tours often emphasize photography safaris, hiking expeditions, and bird-watching adventures. The company also offers specialized cruises to the Arctic and Antarctica.
With the addition of the currently established PlanetWildlife network, we expect to see growth in both the number of travelers and the overall levels of services we provide,” says Nic Orfang, CEO of Perfect Africa.
