Amazing Experience in Nayrere National Park!
Wow! From start to finish Plex took care of everything from Pick up on Zanzibar to two FULL days of Safari. We flew out early AM and went directly to the park- our guides Omari and Abduili were AMAZING! They Shared so much information about the animals and were truly great hosts our whole safari. Our vehicle was very comfortable and our driver navigated the bumpy roads with ease. After breakfast and lunch we went back to Camp for a short break, the safari lodge was perfect and the staff were so nice- the food was great as well. We went out for a night game drive and were the only ones in the park! It was a totally different experience from the daytime! The next morning we did a boat safari, we only saw crocs and hippos but it was still nice to do other than a game drive. We also went to a local village where our guide Omari lived and learned SO MUCH about the local culture it was one of the highlights for us. We then visited the Massai village which again was interesting and unique. When it was time to go, we flew out of the same airstrip right back to -Zanzibar! Totally seamless and truly a wonderful experience- cannot say enough great things about Plex Safaris! Great value for an unforgettable experience!

It was the best for me.
We were the first to do a tour this season, we even saw a leopard, it was a great experience for us and we had a lot of fun, I would do a tour again anytime
The Price for this Safari is absolutely justified.

It was a wonderfull Experience wich made Dreams come true.
From the Beginning everything was well planned. Edward and his Team handled everything to our complete satisfaction.
Even there were difficulties with the flights (right to the Change from low to highseason) Edward did everything to make our Experience possible.
The Payment was very easy and absolutely fair, you can trust the link he send.
We just payed 20% Downpay, so that Edward could hold the Flight for us. The Rest we Coups pay by Card at the Airport.
We booked really short term, but Everything works.
The Transfer was included and the Driver was really nice.
The Flight was so amazing-we hard a very small Plane and a really cute Captain who let us tanke a Seat beside him. He Flow us safely to Tanzsnia,comeing from Sansibar.
Our Guides ELI and DAVID were really attentive, very well knowing a lot to Tell about Nature, People and Life. Eli spoke very good Englisch, David talked even german with us!
They were really cute and always took good care of us.
We saw a lot of Animals- Elephants, Giraffes, Pumbas, Zebras, Krokodiles, Buffallos Hippos and even a Leopard, which is really rare to see.
The Lodges were really nice and comfortable for beeing directly in the Jungle.
The Jeep we used was a strong 4x4 Landrover in best Conditions.
We would give 10 out of 10 Points!

Great management from start to finish
Fantastic team at Plex Africa! Big shout out to Ricardo who made our experience so enjoyable especially with my 2 year old son who loved him.
Ricardo had great knowledge and experience and tried his best to show us the animals we wanted to see. Food at lunch was really authentic and fresh.
Definitely recommend the 1 day trip if you have a small child

Reliable, knowledgeable, professional
Plex Africa Safaris is a very professional organization. Edward, the owner, is very reliable and can be reached at all hours of the day. I booked a few trips with him such as the Mikumi Safari and Mnemba snorkeling. His co-worker and driver - Morris - was always on time, very friendly and available for questions.
In addition, when an occurrence during the actual Safari happened with the local guide, Edward was immediately willing to investigate and take care of the matter.
I can highly recommend Africa Plex Safari due to the professionalism and client oriented approach this business has.

Unforgettable 2 day Mikumi safari organized by Plex and Abel
My girlfriend and I had an amazing 2 day Safari with Plex tours.
Their professionality, flexibility and reliability are worth mentioning.
As I was on a standby, I only knew last minute (10 minutes before departure) if I would make it to Dar es Salaam. Which meant I could only confirm our trip last minute. Plex was so kind to accommodate this unusual request, taking a risk with reserving space on the Safari tour.
From beginning to end we had a smooth, and exciting trip. Plex responds fast and clear. Everything was taken care of (tickets, ranger, hotel, lunch diner etc) and still left room for wishes or suggestions from our end. Accordingly, we only needed to sit and enjoy. It was a long journey from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi but our enthusiastic ranger Abel, who picked us up at the train station in Mogoro, was very welcoming, helpful and explained a lot about the park, Tanzania, the safari and much more.
Abel is a professional, knowledgeable, friendly and sharp ranger with great sense of humor. If he didn’t discover an amazing spot himself (Lions with cubs and a fresh pray, the alert baboons that lead us to a leopard) he made sure we were one of the first at the spot found by other rangers. He also looked after us for the lunch breaks and made sure the check in at the lodge was smooth. He even arranged a nice bottle of wine at our dinner table for us to enjoy whilst processing the day full of experiences and close encounters with elephants, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, lions etc.
We highly recommend Plex tours and Abel as the ranger. A winning combination for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

Absolutely great experience!
Everything from start to finish was organised perfectly. Communication from the agent was seemless. We were picked up by private driver on time to take us to airport. Then we were escorted to airplane that took us to the plane that flew us to Mikumi. Right when we landed, we were greeted by our amazing private tour guide Ricardo! He was so enthusiastic to show us the best views of the animals, and had great knowledge of each one of them. We were doing the safari with our one year old baby and he made the expierence for all of us so calm, even though baby was crying from time to time. We saw lions, elephants, girrafes, buffalos, pumbas, antilopes, wildabeasts, wild chickens, zebras, hippos… After the tour, we were escorted back to the plane to get back to Zanzibar where we again were greeted by our driver who took us back to the hotel.Overall, I absolutely recommend booking a safari with Plexi, the best experience ever!

Great professionals making sure you live an unforgettable experience
I chose this operator because they offered the option to be able to do 3 game drives in Mikumi National Park and a visit to Massai in two days from Dar es Salaam. Abdl was my guide and he has a very good eye to see animals from the distance and explain their behaviours and features. Despite reviews usually say that March is not a good month to see animals I was able to see many of them. When going to Massai culture, Abdl explained to them about my veterinary background and the family allowed me to see and interact very closely with their valuable livestock. That made a very unique experience showing Abdl caring about the interests of the visitors. I would definitely contact Plex Africa Safaris again when I am back in Tanzania. What an experience!!
