Made sure we had a great time
We had three unforgettable days with Plex Africa Safaris! The full day in the national park was amazing and we saw so many animals. Our tour guide Abel was really experienced and always made sure we had a great time.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Adventure with Plex Africa Safari and guide Kilian
My recent safari experience was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife encounters, and—most importantly—our phenomenal guide, Kilian. From start to finish, this journey felt like stepping into a nature documentary brought to life.
Kilian was an absolute treasure—knowledgeable, passionate, and deeply connected to the land. His storytelling skills brought the Neyrere Nationalpark to life, weaving together fascinating facts about the animals, their behaviors, and the ecosystem as a whole. Every question we asked was met with detailed answers that reflected his expertise and love for the wild.
The safari itself was perfectly organized, thanks to Plex Africa Safari. From the initial communication to the very last day, the team demonstrated outstanding professionalism. Every detail—from itinerary planning to logistics—was handled seamlessly, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. They were highly responsive to our questions before the trip and ensured that every aspect exceeded our expectations.
We encountered majestic lions lounging in the sun, towering giraffes grazing peacefully, elephants, crocodile, zebra, buffalo, monkey, many different birds etcetera....Each moment felt like magic, and Kilian with the our driver ensured we were always in the best position to take it all in without disturbing the animals.
What truly stood out was Kilian’s ability to create a personal connection with every member of our group. He tailored the experience to our interests, making us feel like explorers rather than tourists.
This safari wasn’t just a vacation—it was an unforgettable adventure, a chance to reconnect with the natural world, and an opportunity to learn from someone who truly embodies the spirit of conservation. If you’re considering a safari, look no further than Plex Africa Safari and Kilian. This was, without a doubt, the best travel experience of my life.
Thank you very much.

Perfect organized and just amazing. Perfect communication and planning.
Wow, what can I say. Simply perfectly organized, fantastic and with Kilian we got the best travel guide, also on a personal level. I can only recommend it to everyone. A unique experience that you will never forget. Even days later I still have no words to describe the impressions I gained. Anyone who has any reservations can confidently throw them overboard. Accompaniment, planning and safety are paramount. Hakuna Matata and a big thank you for everything.

The tour operator was well organized, responded quickly and serviceminded.
We had an amazing experience on the safari organized by Plex Safari! The tour was well organized, and our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
The highlight was undoubtedly seeing a lion family up close. It was also incredibly exciting to watch a lion feeding on a freshly hunted prey – a raw and authentic moment we will never forget!
We also had a very good impression of Plex Safari as an operator. They responded quickly to all our questions beforehand, and the service was good from start to finish.
This was truly a day we will remember for the rest of our lives!

An unforgettable adventure filled with personal care, expert guidance, and magical wildlife moments!
From start to finish, this safari was flawlessly organized. Arranging the trip was quick and easy, with clear communication throughout. We were picked up early from our Zanzibar hotel and seamlessly transferred to the airport for a scenic flight in a small propeller plane to Nyerere National Park. This thrilling start set the tone for an incredible experience! Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Dula, our skilled driver, and Jafari, our knowledgeable and fun guide.
Dula, the masterful driver
With 17 years of experience, including 2 in this region, Dula’s expertise was evident. He instinctively knew where to find wildlife and confidently navigated the terrain. His sharp instincts meant we often spotted animals before others, including rare species, making every moment exciting and rewarding.
Jafari, the lively guide
Jafari added a personal touch with his humor, passion, and deep knowledge—especially about birds. He tailored his commentary to our interests, turning every wildlife encounter into a memorable learning experience. From watching lions with their cubs to observing a solitary leopard, Jafari’s insights brought the wild to life.
A private and tranquil experience
Having a private jeep allowed us to explore the park at our own pace, often away from other groups. The vast, unspoiled beauty of Nyerere National Park made it feel like we had this wilderness to ourselves.
Comfort and luxury in the wild
The safari vehicle was spacious and well-equipped, perfect for long days in the bush. Meals were delicious and plentiful, with enough to satisfy even big appetites. Our stay at Selous Safari Lodge was equally outstanding—spacious, clean, and nestled in nature, complete with playful monkeys. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and professional, ensuring our comfort throughout.
Diverse activities for a full experience
In addition to game drives, we enjoyed a fascinating walking safari with a charismatic bushman, who shared stories about plants, tracks, and traditional remedies. The serene boat safari at sunset was another highlight, offering stunning views and a peaceful close to the day.
Unmatched value for money
For the price, this safari exceeded all expectations. Multi-day game drives, luxury accommodations, and personalized service made it an incredible deal compared to other operators.
We wholeheartedly recommend this experience—it was fast and easy to arrange, and every moment was magical. Thank you to Dula, Jafari, and the team for making this a dream come true! 🙏✨

What an amazing day at Mikumi national park xxx
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

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