Plex Africa made our trip one to remember forever!
We had the best safari experience with Plex Africa on our honeymoon in June 2026. The booking was stress free and they're always available on whatsapp for any questions you have. We were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar in a comfortable car and the driver was great, the whole process of travelling to Tanzania was so easy. We were greeted by our guide Jafari and Driver Shabani as soon as we stepped off the plane and taken to our Jeep. Our safari experience was one to remember forever, Jafari asked us what our favourite animals were and made it his mission to make sure we saw them! (and we did!) We saw lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocs, buffalo's, zebras the list goes on! Jafari was full of knowledge he answered all our questions on the animals and was full of fun facts. Shabani was a great driver, when we heard there were lions spotted he got us to them in record time, we felt safe and comfortable always. The food provided was unreal and there was always plenty of drink options in the Jeep. The safari lodge accommodation was lovely as well, overall we can't fault our experience and would 100% recommend Plex.

"A highly professional and reliable tour operator with an exceptionally attentive and helpful staff.
Excellent organization from start to finish. Email communication was prompt, professional, and reliable. During the tour, the staff went above and beyond to meet our expectations and help us spot as many animals as possible. We were extremely satisfied with the entire experience. Highly recommended.

No problem, they do what they say.
We want to thank you for an incredible experience. Face to face with a big elephant, close to giraffes and hippos. Or playing lion cubs. You have to experience that. Thank you Edward and his team. Excellent driver Maneno, who made sure that we felt safe even in difficult terrain and Jafari our guide was very nice and willing to describe and explain everything to us.

The tour operator and the guides are excellent.
We booked and reserved this trip from Germany. All communication was handled via email, and everything worked perfectly from start to finish.
The transfers were also smooth and very well organized.
During our safari in Tanzania, we had a guide named Esha and our driver Daniel, who accompanied us through the different game reserves. We have to say that we had a fantastic time. Both guides took a great deal of time for us, paid attention to all our wishes, and even exceeded our expectations.
It was one of the most beautiful trips we have taken in a very long time. The experiences were simply incredible—beautiful, impressive, and full of unforgettable moments.
A big thank you to the tour operator, as well as to Esha and Daniel, for this extraordinary experience. We can wholeheartedly recommend this trip and the entire team.
The tour operator and the guides are excellent.

Great communication and answered all questions promptly, great tour well organised.
We had a great day, slightly overcast but able to see Lion's and their cubs, elephant's including a baby, zebra's, wildebeest's, giraffe's, impala's, buffalo, hippo's, crocodile's and a mix of birds and butterflies.
The day started being picked up at 5am from Kiwengwa, being driven to the airport for a 10am flight in a twin prop Dash 8-100 plane. After about a 50minute flight we landed and changed into our modified land rovers.
The were 7 of us in the 4x4 and saw a lot on our drive around the reserve. Stopping for lunch before continuing on until our flight back to Zanzibar and taxi back to our resort.
We could see some development in the reserve, what looked like a new airport strip being built, and building improvements.
Although there was a number of other vehicles doing the tour, we never felt that we were all in a convoy or following one another, but at times we did meet the others 4x4 when groups or prides of animals were spotted, ie the lions. We never felt the animals had to stay near us or were chased down. Even had the lions walk up to our 4x4 to take shade under it.
Nixon, our guide/driver was brilliant and knowledgeable.
Very much worth doing. Amazing experience.

Trust
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything went well, from leaving Zanzibar to returning to the hotel. The safari was very good, I just think the boat safari could have been better, there was a lack of wildlife, especially crocodiles. But overall it was a very good experience, I highly recommend it, especially for the professionalism shown by Plex.

Amazing organisation!
We booked a one day trip to Mikumi national park. It was perfectly arranged! At 05:00 am we had an amazing driver, Starboy who brought us to the airport. Over there we waited 10 minutes to check in for the flight.
After the Plaine landed we went with a private tour to see the animals. We saw so many of them! Especially the first 2 hours we saw so many that we almost thought we were at a zoo. Later we realised that our first thoughts were untrue because the more hours past the fewer animals we saw.
The guide had much information and knew the spots to find the animals. We felt so blessed to see all te animals!
In the afternoon we flew back to Zanzibar where Starboy (driver) was already waiting for us. This was so good arranged. Now we didn’t have to wait sit the airport after al long day.
We would definitely recommend to book with this agency!

Private Mikumi safari from Zanzibar—seamless, amazing wildlife, great guide, top value.
We had the most incredible day on our private safari to Mikumi with Plex Africa Safaris honestly one of the highlights of our Zanzibar holiday.
Travelling from Zanzibar was all arranged seamlessly, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. The journey itself was smooth and well organised, from being picked up and dropped off at our hotel to landing in the middle of Mikumi National Park. It felt like such an adventure going from the island to the national park for the day.
It was also amazing value – it was only $70 more than other popular providers including Get Your Guide and Tui to have a completely private safari and our own 4x4, which made such a difference to the experience.
We saw so much wildlife in just one day – lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos and loads of other animals. Even some very cheeky baboons… definitely watch out for them at lunchtime!
Our guide really made it though – so knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate. You could tell he wanted us to have the best experience possible, and he absolutely delivered.
If you’re thinking about doing a safari while in Zanzibar, we’d 100% recommend this it was unforgettable and a real bucket list day!
