Excellent
A professional and very helpful organisation. We had booked a travel of 21 days from Livingstone, Namibië, Botswana and Zambia. It was a beautiful, interesting and divers tour

Migration Venture organised a first class safari
Everything was just right for our first ever safari. Accommodation was an excellent mix of luxury and tented types. Our driver, Peter, was superb - he knew the parks very well, where to find the animals, identifying the less common ones and drove brilliantly.
We visited Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater and Lake Manyara National parks and saw the big five as well as wildebeest, zebra, giraffes and more. We were lucky enough to to see a leopard and many cheetah as well.
Amos communicated well with us before the safari and all arrangements went very smoothly.
We had underestimated the distances between the parks and were scheduled to visit the Northern Serengeti as well but after discussion felt it was too far so Amos rearranged the accommodation whilst we were there, albeit we had to pay a supplement but it was worth it.
Ours was a 5 day mid range safari that was very good value for money. Some other operators seemed to be offering in my opinion unneccessary and presumably more expensive tour extras. We had everthing we could want, the vehicle was as comfortable as any can be.
All good.

Excellent service
From the day I arrived Malagasya Travel were tops ! The accommodation I was booked into was relative to the area . I found the food at most places average as it seemed everywhere there was a shortage due to poverty and road transportation. The Malagasya Travel provided THE BEST drivers and guide. My guide Lova actually made the trip - patient, kind, caring, thoughtful and very considerate with a wonderful sense of humour ! It made all the difference with some of the sightseeing in places extreme. Alicia, the booking agent also excelled in all that I asked for.
Thank you Malagasya Travel.

Great time with GODSON DRK
I went on a safari for 4 days (the entire trip was 6 days).
I heard that it is important to choose a guide to go to Serengeti. The animals you can see depend on the guide's ability.
When planning a trip to Serengeti, you can see that the cost varies greatly. At first, I wondered why the prices were so different. There are differences in accommodations, but I don't think that paying more money will change the animals you can see. It is more important to have a good guide.
Godson was confident. Before we started the trip, he asked us which animals and how much we wanted to see. And he promised to show us more, and he kept his promise.
Godson guided us to see many animals. And he gave us enough time to enjoy ourselves. He also explained things in an easy-to-understand way. Even if you don't speak English well, you can understand it well. If your guide is Godson, you are lucky.

Overwhelmed by how well the safari went and by how good value it was.
The safari was great, tents comfortable and tour guide far exceeded expectations.
I wanted to see predators and we saw all three major ones plenty of times (lion, cheetah and leopard) including two hunting. The guide (Godfrey) always made sure to take us somewhere new and was able to spot animals beyond the horizon somehow, like a sixth sense. Of course we saw elephants, hyenas, buffalo, wildebeest, vultures, hippos, crocs, ostriches, mongeese, zebras and loads of birds. We even saw a few rhinos from a distance.
The tents and food were all arranged without fuss, and we were never hungry, nor cold or uncomfortable besides driving the dirt roads on safari but even luxury safaris use those same roads and vehicles.
The vehicle was clean and suitable, no one ever was without a view of an animal and we changed orderly to make sure front seat was evenly used.
I was sceptical of the whole arrangement after my time elsewhere in Africa but the whole thing went off as well as expected or better. The price didn't change from the quote, everything they said was included was true and the office staff checked in daily in case anything needed extra help (it didn't).
I highly recommend Makini and will be recommending them to friends if they go to Tanzania. I don't know what other tours were like or the price they paid but I couldn't find anything cheaper for the inclusions and even as a dodgy budget backpacker was extremely happy with the whole experience.

A perfect trip, it was the cheapest for three days i could find, but the experience was amazing. Not only at the safari but also at the lodge en hotels.

$10.000 DOWN THE DRAIN
Scammed by Kipok! Made us pay a massive amount online for the national parks, cancelled our booking and used our money for other bookings. Nothing arranged in Tanzania. No hotel, no car, no guide,nothing. Kenya was done via subcontractor which we paid for again as Kipok did not pay them. Stay away from this company!!!

Very nice guide who shows you the best things.
You get a lot for your money and the safari was the highlight for me. But the boat trip and the visit to the rhino park were also very nice. August also always makes sure that you feel comfortable.

Responsive and customer focused company providing a great safari experience!
What differentiated Plex from the other companies for us was their responsiveness during the booking process, also in the run-up to the safari starting and the transfer arrangements before and after. Eddy always provided the required information and reassurance exactly when we needed it, regarding all of the key arrangements.
When we arrived in Neyere we were met off the plane by the Guide (Omary) and Driver (Keresa) and the safari began almost immediately as we drove into the National Park and began to observe a wonderful array of animals. Omary was extremely knowledgeable regarding their identification and behaviour (which included the stunning birdlife). He was also flexible and adapted to what we wanted to see (this included the wonderful old Baobab trees that he knew I loved). He also has great observational skills and was able to identify highly camouflaged rare birds from a long distance (e.g. Nightjar).
We stayed at the Selous Safari Lodge which we would also highly recommend. The staff were fantastic and made us feel so welcome. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable and we enjoyed swimming in the pool. Breakfast and dinner were also of a high standard.
Overall we had a great experience with Plex and would have no hesitation in recommending them to other people who are looking for a great African safari experience!
