Unforgettable 2 day Mikumi safari organized by Plex and Abel
My girlfriend and I had an amazing 2 day Safari with Plex tours.
Their professionality, flexibility and reliability are worth mentioning.
As I was on a standby, I only knew last minute (10 minutes before departure) if I would make it to Dar es Salaam. Which meant I could only confirm our trip last minute. Plex was so kind to accommodate this unusual request, taking a risk with reserving space on the Safari tour.
From beginning to end we had a smooth, and exciting trip. Plex responds fast and clear. Everything was taken care of (tickets, ranger, hotel, lunch diner etc) and still left room for wishes or suggestions from our end. Accordingly, we only needed to sit and enjoy. It was a long journey from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi but our enthusiastic ranger Abel, who picked us up at the train station in Mogoro, was very welcoming, helpful and explained a lot about the park, Tanzania, the safari and much more.
Abel is a professional, knowledgeable, friendly and sharp ranger with great sense of humor. If he didn’t discover an amazing spot himself (Lions with cubs and a fresh pray, the alert baboons that lead us to a leopard) he made sure we were one of the first at the spot found by other rangers. He also looked after us for the lunch breaks and made sure the check in at the lodge was smooth. He even arranged a nice bottle of wine at our dinner table for us to enjoy whilst processing the day full of experiences and close encounters with elephants, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, lions etc.
We highly recommend Plex tours and Abel as the ranger. A winning combination for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

Absolutely great experience!
Everything from start to finish was organised perfectly. Communication from the agent was seemless. We were picked up by private driver on time to take us to airport. Then we were escorted to airplane that took us to the plane that flew us to Mikumi. Right when we landed, we were greeted by our amazing private tour guide Ricardo! He was so enthusiastic to show us the best views of the animals, and had great knowledge of each one of them. We were doing the safari with our one year old baby and he made the expierence for all of us so calm, even though baby was crying from time to time. We saw lions, elephants, girrafes, buffalos, pumbas, antilopes, wildabeasts, wild chickens, zebras, hippos… After the tour, we were escorted back to the plane to get back to Zanzibar where we again were greeted by our driver who took us back to the hotel.Overall, I absolutely recommend booking a safari with Plexi, the best experience ever!

Great professionals making sure you live an unforgettable experience
I chose this operator because they offered the option to be able to do 3 game drives in Mikumi National Park and a visit to Massai in two days from Dar es Salaam. Abdl was my guide and he has a very good eye to see animals from the distance and explain their behaviours and features. Despite reviews usually say that March is not a good month to see animals I was able to see many of them. When going to Massai culture, Abdl explained to them about my veterinary background and the family allowed me to see and interact very closely with their valuable livestock. That made a very unique experience showing Abdl caring about the interests of the visitors. I would definitely contact Plex Africa Safaris again when I am back in Tanzania. What an experience!!

Smooth turnkey experience. Time amazingly spent!
We booked them online still being in Europe based on their rating on the site. From the first communication session they were very available and responsive.
On the day of the safari everything went smoothly and on time. The air company they work with is nice and trustworthy.
Our guides on the safari were total sweethearts, very knowledgeable. We got a lot of useful info about every animal we met. And we got SO lucky to meet all the big 5 in the first 2 hours. Even leopard, which is very rare. The lunch in the middle of the park was EPIC. You have all the bush plain in front of your dining table with warthogs, impalas, zebras grazing and monkeys playing around.
Highly recommended, great 1 day experience!

Just Amazing!
The safari was well organized! All was great, from transfer, flight, safari, and back to the hotel! If you need info you can reach Plex very easy!
The safari was amazing! We saw 4 of the big 5 (5th not living in this area). The guide was very kind and explained a lot! He also took care that the animals aren’t disrupt in their natural habitat!
There was water, soda and some beers available in the truck.
We recommend Plex 100%! This adventure you don’t want to miss!

Visiting Safari park was incredible experience!
From the moment we entered we were filled with beauty of the nature and animals roaming freely. We could witnessed this thanks to our great guide Abel. Communication with Plex Africa Company was super, accommodation comfortable in the middle of the nature. Everything was well prepared, I heartily recommend to see Safari with this company.

AMAZING
This was an AMAZING experience. You will get to interact with truly GREAT people. Our guides were amazing, so knowledgeable, so dedicated to spot best animals for us and had an answer to every question we had, and great driving skills;) Plus the village tour with Omari was great. We learned so much about local culture and people.
The food was delicious, we loved every meal. The accommodation was beyond our expectations. Everyone at the camp was so helpful and accommodating. We had a great time and felt safe.
Everything was planned ideally, all the drivers and activities on time, they even took care of our luggage in Zanzibar while we were on safari. We really appreciate the perfect organization.

Fantastic experience!
We loved the safari. The local culture, the enchanting nature and the friendliness of the people will remain in our hearts. The organization of the Selous Reserve was excellent... on time, perfectly organised, good food, a friendly, cheerful, competent and helpful tour guide (Abel). He helped us in various situations and we thank him for that. We will come back to visit you in the future!
