Professional Company - Knowledgeable and Patient Guide
What a first safari experience! Wow!
Communication started great, Mr. Edward replied promptly. There was a small issue but was resolved, which we appreciated.
The value for money is great, with competitive prices.
We booked a private tour so my husband can take photographs with his big lens. It was worth it, he ended up taking amazing photos! Our guide Abdulli was very knowlegeable and patient as we stopped to take photos.
He also went the extra mile (literally) to show us the lions!
We truly recommend this operator ❤️

A wonderful time spent, the driver and the French-speaking translator were super professional and kind. We had a wonderful time and the organization was perfect from start to finish. Nothing negative to say. We recommend 100%

Our tour operator was very kind, patient and funny. We felt safe all the time.
During the safari, we were with Joseph — he has a lot of experience, and we really appreciated how he explained many things about the animals, found the best spots to see and photograph them, and made the experience wonderful. Tiko was our guide for the community experience, and he patiently explained and answered all our questions. I was very pleased with the experience I chose — the value for money was excellent, and I really appreciated the care and attention shown by the guides.

Amazing tour operator
Very Nice Safari, everything is arranged very well and you just have to listen to the people who arranged everything. They help you with the travel, accomodations and all the other things. We’ve seen almost all the animals and it wasn’t crowded in the park as well. Our tour guide Yossef was amazing. He was relaxed and explained us a lot!

The most unforgettable experience of our lives, perfectly organized and worth every euro.
This was truly the best experience of our lives and we would recommend it to everyone! Every euro was worth it. Everything was perfectly organized from the pick up, the flight, to the meals all was taken care of in the best way. Our guide Sebastian put in so much effort to show us the most beautiful places. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much information, always with great respect for the nature and animals. Thanks to him, we felt deeply connected to the safari and learned a lot. It was unforgettable, and we are so grateful!

Smooth and complete service with attention to detail.
We booked a 2-week trip to Zanzibar, but wanted to mix it up a little so to not just have a beach holiday.
I've done a number of safaris, but this would be the first time doing a fly-in fly-out African safari.
I sent a number of inquiries but Edward's Plex Africa Safaris jumped out. Communication was flawless, as was the service. We moved around and stayed in different hotels in Zanzibar, and it was no issue at all to store our luggage with Plex whilst we went of to the African bush.
We chose Nyerere NP and it did not disappoint. We hit safari lottery when we were able to spend time with the endangered African wild dogs.
The experience you get for the price you pay is very good value for money.

Excellent planning, went smoothly, had the best time and would do it again
Communication was ok! Often had to email first asking for updates etc but when I emailed or messaged Edward replied so quickly. No issues with this.
Everything went smoothly for the most part. Drivers waiting once we landed. Always on time. Slight mishap initially with our driver taking another group to the airport instead of us but this was quickly rectified. Our plane also broke down meaning we lost some hours on safari for this was not Plex fault.
The guide Joseph was lovely. Knowledgeable and found us good animals! We thought he was great- thank you Joseph.
The lodge was lovely. Basic but beautiful with big room. We have left separate review for selous lodge on tripadvisor.
The only thing we would change would be the itinerary. Our final day we did Masai boma and was back at the lodge for 0945am. Our flight was not until 1800pm and we had to check out of the lodge by 1400. So it was quite a lot of waiting around on this day. We also found the village tour was not the most beneficial. We would have rather done the bush walk, Masai boma and boat in one day and then either had an extra day game drive or just go back to Zanzibar.
Overall we really enjoyed and would do it again- but maybe just three days rather than four.
Thank you Edward for organising. Very good planning.

Brilliantly organised safari in Neywere, Superb Guiides
The whole tour was so well organised. Hotel pick ups in Zanzibar, internal flights to Neywere and the actual safari.
Our guide Michael and his trainee Moses were so passionate and knowledgeable. We are now back home and my 14 year old daughter says the safari feels like a dream. We saw lions. Elephants, giraffes, crocs, hippos, zebras and so much more. Magical experience over 3 days. Land Rover was so good, whilst we are on some bumpy tracks it never felt uncomfortable. Trip to hot spring was enjoyable and really got further out into the national park, which is as big as Belgiium.
Plex is a well run company with great customer service. 💯 recommend. Thanks for memories for a life time.

Very well organised and responsive
The entire safari was an amazing experience! Our guides, Omar and Babu, were absolutely fantastic – punctual, attentive, and always making sure we were well taken care of while helping us spot all the animals we hoped to see. The park itself is breathtaking, and seeing the wildlife up close made it even more special.
We did encounter some issues at the second lodge, such as the hot water not working, but we understand it was arranged last minute and truly appreciate the effort that went into organizing everything.
Thank you for such a memorable trip!
