Plex Africa Safaris go above and beyond to make your trip amazing!
I can’t recommend Plex Africa Safaris enough. Edward was on hand almost 24/7 to answer any questions I had before we went . He’d always reply if not immediately then within a few hours. I was so dubious about sending a deposit as had heard some horror stories but Edward sent me all the confirmation that they are fully registered with the Tanzanian tourist board etc. Once I’d paid the deposit he sent me confirmation of our flight tickets which was reassuring. We were picked up at 4.00am from the RIU Jambo by Moris who was lovely. We had 3 days on safari and our guide Anton was the best, he’s amazing and knows so much about the animals. He also told us about his life in Tanzania which was very interesting. On day 1 we did a full day safari, on day 2 we did a half day game drive, then a visit to the hot springs and also a night game drive. On our 3rd day we did a boat safari and a tour of the Masai village which was really interesting. We took gifts for the children (no sweets as they don’t have dentists) but were so grateful for pens, colouring books etc. Anton showed us around and as he’s from the village everyone knew him, the whole village are so friendly and are happy to answer questions. Each safari was different and we saw so many animals, we were so lucky to be sitting literally feet away from a large pride of lions. Every trip was amazing and my daughter and I were lucky enough to be the only ones in the truck and on the boat so had private tours. Most of the trucks we saw had 6 people in. We were also lucky as Anton didn’t follow the trucks, we went off on our own as he knew where to go so a lot of the time we got to see the animals without a load of trucks next to us which was amazing. We stayed at the Selous Safari Lodge which was lovely. Book with Plex Africa Safaris, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Best customer service out there
I booked a Safari with the company. Best
Experience ever. I’m happy with customer service as they went above and beyond to make sure me and my family are happy.
I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend.
Well organised
A pleasant experience to go on the one day safari trip from Zanzibar to selous.
Well organised and I would recommend this to do if you never done a safari before.

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.
