One day safari trip from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi.
It was a real pleasure to deal with Plex Africa Safaris for this one day trip to Mikumi national park and back. The communication was easy and efficient. The driver was on time and very knowledgeable of the park and its animals. If you are up for an extraordinary adventure, I strongly recommend Plex Africa Safaris.

Above and Beyond Experience, Service
We compared notes with other travelers who were staying at the Selous Safari Lodge but were not using Plex as their guide company. And quickly discovered that we not only had the best guide (Michael) for safari but the most smooth experience with the coordination of travel and payments of anyone else. And after looking up who some of the others used, I think we paid a lot less, too!
We had an easy transfer from our Zanzibar hotel to the airport, and our guide was waiting for us when we landed. Our safari experience (2 days in the Jeep, a water safari on the river, and a walking safari and Masai visit) yielded so much--all the animal encounters we could ask for (including a close view of a napping lioness), but more importantly an incredible education. I am a Native American (Ojibwe Nation) and could not have been more thrilled with all of the knowledge that was so freely shared, regarding how the people in this area continue their sustainable agricultural and medicinal practices.
Selous Safari Lodge was amazing. Again, you're way, way far away from an urban center. The entire country struggles with consistent electricity supply. They have a generator but when the grid is on/off/on in minutes, it doesn't kick in. And sometimes generators fail. The little cottages are built to be as comfortable as possible without any electricity. If you absolutely have to have air con on all the time, pretty much anywhere close to the animal action isn't going to be able to provide that, so don't blame the lodge. We loved the food, and they were very accommodating with my food allergies, to the point of preparing a whole separate meal for me one night! Yes, we had to relocate a spider and a couple of frogs because of the way the exterior doors are designed, but it was not a big deal. If you have trouble with the very idea of a spider, traveling in east Africa is probably not for you, anyway. Compared to other lodging options so close to the park, Selous Safari Lodge, with it's pool and top-notch service, was a luxury experience.
Since we were not heading back to Zanzibar but on to Nairobi, Kenya, we ended up flying into Dar Es Salaam. However, the way the flight schedules worked, we had almost an entire day there. Edward at Plex arranged for us to have one of his safari guides, Franklin, take us around the city (he was born and raised there and happened to be in the office). Franklin gave us a day we will NEVER forget, especially the tour meal at the harbor fish market. He didn't shy away from showing us both the wonderful ingenuity and hard work of Tanzanians, and the struggles of the people living in the city.
My husband and I have been all over the world. We cannot thank Plex Africa Safaris enough for making our "bucket list" trip to Tanzania our most memorable and enjoyable trip ever (so far). If we have the ability to return to the region, we will definitely be using Plex again.

Super nice staff with a lot of knowledge about nature
We went on a 2 day fly in from Zanzibar safari and it was the highlight of our trip! Everything went super smooth - from hotel pickup to airport, flight, safari, transportation to the camp Mazumpiko selous lodge, boat tour, and the journey back. Everyone was super professional and our guide was very knowledgeable - we asked a LOT of questions and there wasn't a single question he couldn't answer! We saw a lot of animals including elephant, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, buffalo, baboons and more! At night we stayed in a little village, in a bungalow at the Mazumpiko selous lodge. There were some insects but otherwise it was well cleaned and had a fan, mosquito nets for the bed, shower and western style toilet. The food was delicious and the boys working there were sooo nice! We would love to come back!

Selous safari
We did a nice safari with the Plex Africa team in Feb 2024.
4 days (3 nights) including 2 game drives in Selous National Park, 1 bush safari in the forest, 1 boat safari and 1 visit in a Massai village.
Selous Safari lodge was a nice place with swimming pool, good food (some power issues...).
Our driver Franklin was amazing in the park and so nice.
Cars are old so sometimes things happened...
It was a very good experience overall.

Effective
Amazing day. The plane trip without waiting, 50 minutes then you find yourself in the 4x4 heading to the park and the animals. Coffee and tea stop mid-morning then we continue to look for the animals left in their wild environment then a simple but good lunch. Return by plane to Zanzibar. Magnificent decor, animals in perfect condition, in short, a good day
