Indescribably beautiful, individual, private safari - exactly as we imagined it
We had two unforgettable days with an incredible number of animal sightings. Most of the time even without any other tourists or jeeps! The guys customised the safari exactly to our wishes. From the first second to the last they wanted to show us as much as possible. Both guys, the driver and the tour guide, were very keen to see the animals we mentioned. They also have an enormous amount of knowledge about the park, nature, plants and of course all the animals. We had many great conversations with the tour guide.
Anytime again with pleasure - unrestricted recommendation!!!

Omary and the driver made our visit easy and very exciting
We visited Nyerere National Park for my birthday and it was the best experience of our life. Omary and the driver made our visit very pleasant. They looked for the wild animals with great efforts and we managed to see most of them. The stayed longer with the animals we like the most so we could observe them for longer. Definitely 100% recommendable. Omary and the driver of the safari are good people and always with a smile in their face.

Edward was patient and very experienced,would highly recommend Plex.
I was nervous to book whilst in England not knowing any companies or which safari would suit us best. Researched and decided on Serengeti and Nronogono. Ed at Plex was patient, as had to change dates due to flight issues. The price he quoted was comparable to other agents. Ed was friendly, not pushy, always on the end of the phone if a question arose. The trip itself was amazing. From start to finish. Picked up punctually from the hotel, taken to the airport. Met by Ed in Tanzania, who introduced us to the guide, Lo was fantastic. Safe driver, extremely knowledgeable. The camp sites we stayed in were fantastic. I’d asked for tents to experience something different. The second site we stayed at, we were greeted by Zebra when we were escorted back to tent. Who’d of thought we would get so close. We always felt safe and looked after. I would highly recommend Plex Africa Safaris.

Amazing experience to see wild animals
Plex Africa arranged everything 100% perfect. We were in a two day trip in Nyerere National Park. Communication was smooth, taxi drivers were right in time for pick up, speak good English and are polite and professional. Our guide Songoro went over and beyond for finding the best spots to see animals and action up close during the game drive. I can highly recommend!

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.

Best Safari- Trip!
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.

Perfect three day Safari in Nyerere National Parc
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.

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.
