Excellent service from start to finish
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.

Fantastic one day safari
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.

The greatest adventure ever...
dear friends,
every since i was a little girl and read a book about Africa, it has been my dream to visit this fascinating continent, to discover and explore its people, and its wild and untamed nature.
when my girls became old enough to keep the precious memories we would make for their lifetime, we decided that now was the time to go and make dreams come true.
while researching, i received many offers. however one of them stood out: Mr Edward Makundi (i will call him Eddie from now) from Plex Africa not only shared an offer that was hard to resist, but he reached out to me personally. from the very beginning, i could feel his personal interest in our story, and his commitment to do everything he can to make every aspect of our dreams come true.
we felt so well taken care of. i had some special request, e.g. i wanted to experience different types of safari, and how it felt to sleep in a tent in midst of the wild. Eddie accommodated all our wishes.
ultimately, understanding that i was giving all i could - for my Baby girls - he went out of his way to make the realization of our dreams affordable even to me, as a single mom. i will be forever grateful to him.
what we experienced in Africa and what surprised and impressed us so much was how people connect with each other to make things happen, for us, whom they have never met before. people still live as and from the community, and we were immediately and so warmly welcomed to this community. we felt nothing but upendo... love all along.
so a friend of Eddies connected with a friend who connected with a friend who slept outside our resort on the first day of our safari trip, just to pick us up on time, at 5 a.m. and bring us to Zanzibar airport. i only realized that when one of the maasai guarding the resort got him out of the bushes.
from there, we were always taken care by lovely people who didn't know us. but we got to love them so much.
everything from the flight with a small chartered machine to the entire safari program was so well organized, smooth, and an adventure as only fairy tales could tell.
arrived in Nyerere National Park, we were welcomed by our lovely Lucy Ludamilla, whom we immediately adopted in our hearts, and who has since been my oldest Baby girl, and of course Ellie, the most gifted story teller of times.
we spent the most incredible day together, driving through the national park, listening to the stories of lion prides, zebras, giraffes and elephants, and crocodiles, as we encountered them in their natural habitat.
we reclined under an old tree and shared a hearty lunch prepared with love, by someone who didn't even know us, which we shared with the little birds and animals. sitting there, in the midst of the wild savanna, having been imparted the honor to be a guest in this vast kingdom of animals, surrounded by the sounds nature, gave us such an incredible feeling of peace, and made us aware what a gift it is to be alive, and to be able to share this moment, and tell this story.
on the following days, we went for a bush walk, then visited a local village, and in the evening, we went on a boat safari. we concluded the day dancing into the sunset.
the tented lodge we stayed welcomed us with immense love and fed us delicious food every time they saw us.
the tent itself was unlike anything i had ever experienced in my life. simple but luxurious, and the feeling of falling asleep in the midst of the bush and waking up in the bush was simply magic.
very impressive was our visit to the maasai boma on our last day. they included us in some of their day-to-day activities, like making fire, and dancing with them was another dream of mine come true.
my girl Lucy accompanied us all along the way, and not only took such good care of us, but also captured the countless incredible moments we lived. thanks to her, one of the drivers went looking for elephants for us on the second day, as the girls had so much wished to see them in their natural habitat. it was heartwarming to observe the elephants as they passed by us on the road, taking care of each other as a family.
when our safari was over after 3 days, and it was time for us to return to the beach in Zanzibar, the girls were so heavy hearted.
even greater was our joy when Eddie, who had organized our adventure from the time we were still at home in Vienna, made the long and tiresome trip to visit us in our resort in Zanzibar the following week.
we were so delighted to meet him in person, and excited to tell him how much we loved and appreciated all that he, Lucy, Ellie and his entire team and the tented lodge staff had done to make this Safari an unforgettable experience, exceeding all our dreams, hopes, and expectations.
even the day we left the island and had a layover in Dar Es Salaam, Lucy and Eddie waited several hours at the airport to welcome us and take us to our hotel for the night. with pride, my little daughter wore the Plex Africa T-Shirt Eddie had gifted her when he visited us in Zanzibar. nothing would make her happier than be part of this wonderful family.
seeing them once more was the last highlight of our amazing trip to this beautiful, vibrant, breathtaking continent called Africa.
to anyone dreaming of a true adventure in the wild - i can wholeheartedly advise: chose Plex Africa, and you will be in the best hands. they make sure to make all your dreams come true, and then some.
asanteni wapendwa wangu. kumbatio kubwa. hadi titakapotana tena. tunawapenda.
with all our love.
