What an amazing day at Mikumi national park xxx
5/5

What an amazing experience from start to end.
I was collected from My hotel on time with a well spoken guy.
Upon arriving at the airport, I was greeted and was told what I had to do and escorted to chk in for my flight and had a short wait before I boarded my flight which is a small 12 seated plane.
Then upon arriving at Mikumi I was shown my tour guide and I saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos and baboons plus others, then a nice hot meal before we had another hour or so seeing more amazing animals.
My flight back to Zanzibar and then my taxi ride back to my hotel.
I had an amazing day (yet it was a long day).
Thank you for this amazing experience in Mikumi national park xx

Amazing experience
5/5

The most incredible experience! Our tour guides Rabi and Mpongo made our trip unforgettable, both really knowledgeable and took us to the best spots. Edward at Plex Africa organised everything perfectly, all transfers, flights, accommodation and safari were great. Would highly recommend

Omar was the best guide you can have. Energetic, funny, and very educated
4/5

Omar was a great guide and the driver Ramazan was also very good. Both of them together helped us find the main animals before the rest of the group. The game drive is long so it helps that Omar has good energy and he understands what the guests are looking for the most.

As far as communication goes, the organization was very good. The taxi ride, plane ticket, and the accommodations were well communicated. They respond quickly and answered the phone.

We paid about $650 per person for a 2 days safari and I think it was well worth it. Other companies are around $1000 per person. The breakfast was not so great, but lunch and dinner were very good on the safari. We all enjoyed the food more than some restaurants in the city.

I’d rate the reliability very high, mainly because on the game drive there are a lot of things that can go wrong quickly. Since Omar and Ramazan are very experienced they often help other drivers out with issues as they arise. I will say that the car we drove in definitely needed to be serviced as it broke down on the way to the lodge 4-5 times consecutively. Our guides fixed the vehicle, but I think that car is definitely in need of proper repair.

Responsive and customer focused company providing a great safari experience!
5/5

What differentiated Plex from the other companies for us was their responsiveness during the booking process, also in the run-up to the safari starting and the transfer arrangements before and after. Eddy always provided the required information and reassurance exactly when we needed it, regarding all of the key arrangements.

When we arrived in Neyere we were met off the plane by the Guide (Omary) and Driver (Keresa) and the safari began almost immediately as we drove into the National Park and began to observe a wonderful array of animals. Omary was extremely knowledgeable regarding their identification and behaviour (which included the stunning birdlife). He was also flexible and adapted to what we wanted to see (this included the wonderful old Baobab trees that he knew I loved). He also has great observational skills and was able to identify highly camouflaged rare birds from a long distance (e.g. Nightjar).

We stayed at the Selous Safari Lodge which we would also highly recommend. The staff were fantastic and made us feel so welcome. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable and we enjoyed swimming in the pool. Breakfast and dinner were also of a high standard.

Overall we had a great experience with Plex and would have no hesitation in recommending them to other people who are looking for a great African safari experience!

Perfect three day Safari in Nyerere National Parc
5/5

Our 3-day safari in Nyerere National Park was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The variety of animals we were able to observe was impressive – from elephants and giraffes to lions and countless bird species.

Our stay at the Selous Safari Lodge was wonderful. The lodge is authentic and charming, and we felt perfectly taken care of right in the middle of nature.

I can’t understand the negative comments about simple meals and insects at all. Some people seem to forget that we’re in Africa, where resources are often limited. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the staff did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. The employees are extremely friendly and make every effort to keep insects away as best as they can.

A huge thank you goes to our tour guide Jafari! He made these three days a unique experience. His knowledge about the animals and African culture is impressive, and you can feel his passion for his job in every moment. He told us so many fascinating stories and brought us closer to nature and culture in a very special way.

A small tip: Definitely ask for the guide Jafari – we couldn’t have had a better one.

@Jafari: We will never forget you and sincerely hope that our paths will cross again. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple leaf to put a smile on people’s faces.

Best Safari- Trip!
5/5

We did a 3-day tour with PlexAfrika and we can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!
Conmunication is super easy, everyone is very caring!
We had so many unique and valuable experiences and collected impressions that we will never forget.
Our guide Jafari and the driver Pogo were very friendly and always concerned about our safety and well-being.
Jafari explained a lot to us about the flora and fauna and gave us many cultural impressions. We were able to see many animals.
The bush walk and the village tour were unique and highly recommended. On the boat safari we were able to relax and explore other sides of the animal world.
The "Selous Safari Lodge" is really great and you always feel warmly welcomed by all the staff.
That's why: our clear recommendation is to book with PlexAfrika (ask for the guide Jafari, he's great!) and collect many wonderful and unique memories.

Fantastic one day safari
5/5

We booked a one day safari to Mikumi National Park from Zanzibar. Communication with Eddy beforehand was excellent, and everything was really well-organsed. The guides were great, really well-informed, and we saw a good variety of wildlife, including lions. We would highly recommend Plex Africa Safaris.

Excellent service from start to finish
5/5

We booked a two night safari from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park with Plex Africa Safaris. We dealt with Edward for the booking and he tailor made the itinerary to suit what we wanted to do. The booking process was easy and Edward always responded quickly.
We had a very full three days of safaris with our guide, Omari and driver, Keresa, both of whom were excellent. Omari explained everything to us with enthusiasm which made it very enjoyable. Our dream was to see Painted Dogs and on the third day they both worked tirelessly, following information from other guides to try to find the dogs, and eventually we saw just one dog, but it was definitely worth the wait!
We stayed at the Kinga Safari Lodge which was very comfortable and I was surprised on the second night by being presented with a birthday cake by all the staff singing Hakuna Matata and Happy birthday! A lovely thought. All in all we had an amazing experience which was enhanced by Omari and Keresa's efforts. I would definitely recommend Plex Africa for a safari in Nyerere.
