Above and Beyond Experience, Service
We compared notes with other travelers who were staying at the Selous Safari Lodge but were not using Plex as their guide company. And quickly discovered that we not only had the best guide (Michael) for safari but the most smooth experience with the coordination of travel and payments of anyone else. And after looking up who some of the others used, I think we paid a lot less, too!
We had an easy transfer from our Zanzibar hotel to the airport, and our guide was waiting for us when we landed. Our safari experience (2 days in the Jeep, a water safari on the river, and a walking safari and Masai visit) yielded so much--all the animal encounters we could ask for (including a close view of a napping lioness), but more importantly an incredible education. I am a Native American (Ojibwe Nation) and could not have been more thrilled with all of the knowledge that was so freely shared, regarding how the people in this area continue their sustainable agricultural and medicinal practices.
Selous Safari Lodge was amazing. Again, you're way, way far away from an urban center. The entire country struggles with consistent electricity supply. They have a generator but when the grid is on/off/on in minutes, it doesn't kick in. And sometimes generators fail. The little cottages are built to be as comfortable as possible without any electricity. If you absolutely have to have air con on all the time, pretty much anywhere close to the animal action isn't going to be able to provide that, so don't blame the lodge. We loved the food, and they were very accommodating with my food allergies, to the point of preparing a whole separate meal for me one night! Yes, we had to relocate a spider and a couple of frogs because of the way the exterior doors are designed, but it was not a big deal. If you have trouble with the very idea of a spider, traveling in east Africa is probably not for you, anyway. Compared to other lodging options so close to the park, Selous Safari Lodge, with it's pool and top-notch service, was a luxury experience.
Since we were not heading back to Zanzibar but on to Nairobi, Kenya, we ended up flying into Dar Es Salaam. However, the way the flight schedules worked, we had almost an entire day there. Edward at Plex arranged for us to have one of his safari guides, Franklin, take us around the city (he was born and raised there and happened to be in the office). Franklin gave us a day we will NEVER forget, especially the tour meal at the harbor fish market. He didn't shy away from showing us both the wonderful ingenuity and hard work of Tanzanians, and the struggles of the people living in the city.
My husband and I have been all over the world. We cannot thank Plex Africa Safaris enough for making our "bucket list" trip to Tanzania our most memorable and enjoyable trip ever (so far). If we have the ability to return to the region, we will definitely be using Plex again.

Until next time!
Our first safari trip ever! LJE did an amazing job with organizing our safari and their responsiveness before the trip was reassuring. They ensured that we were well prepared and informed about our safari and their personalized service was much appreciated. Our safari guide was well informed about Tanzania’s beautiful attractions which made our safari more enjoyable. Our family had specific lodging requests and LJE was very accommodating. We were not only comfortable but also enjoyed their selection of lodges. The itinerary curated by LJE ensured we experienced the best of each destination, and we could not be any more grateful. Our family is thinking of coming back next year during the great migration in the Serengeti.

The safari vehicle was in excellent shape, and the lodges we stayed in were fantastic.
Our six-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and the Serengeti left us feeling incredibly satisfied. We thought our driver, Ojung, was very skilled and informed, and the tour was expertly planned by Good One Tours. The safari vehicle was in excellent shape, and the lodges we stayed in were fantastic.

Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and kind
We had the most amazing, and magical time with Theno and his team at Okavango Explorations in Botswana. He made us feel so safe while getting us up close and personal with what Botswana had to offer! All of the food was delicious with Mayumbo proving that you can have 5 star food cooked on a camp fire.
The bedding was simple but clean and comfortable. The hot showers at the end of the day were always a treat.
We left the trip with no unanswered questions about the wildlife, and various landscapes we ventured through.
We both couldn’t recommend doing his tour highly enough.
Theno and the team were incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming and can’t imagine a better way to see the delta.

Unbelievable experience!!!!!
When me and my girlfriend were looking to book a Safari we had no clue where to start. We came across Inspired Feet Safaris online. The prices were fair and it suited exactly what we were looking for. When we contacted Fiona online she responded quickly and efficiently with very helpful information. Everything went exactly to plan and we had the best experience we could have hoped for. If I ever do safari again I'd only use Inspired feet Safaris and I have recommended them to all my friends and family. Thanks for such a great experience Fiona and Inspired Feet Safaris. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Climbing the kilimandjaro was a challenge I was dreaming about but was also a little bit frightened considering that I am over the 50th. Reading very positive review about William I decided to book with him and what a good choice as he succeed together with David to bring me to the top ! This was possible thanks to his perfect organisation, sense of security, adaptability, encouraging spirit and professionnalisme not forgetting his great team always smiling and ready to help. I definitely recommend the kilimandjaro adventure together with William and his team.

Amazing experience climbing kilimanjaro with Almighty Kilimanjaro
What an experience!! I read many reviews of the climb through Almighty Kilimanjaro on line, majority very positive, but none prepared me for how superb the experience through them would be. Starting months before the trip, our rep, Rashid , was absolutely brilliant, organizing everything for us to ensure all was smooth for our arrival. Then once here, everything was beyond perfect, from how amazing the hotel staff were, to the unbelievable guides (Dicksom and Rama) and the team. I could not recommend this experience and this company enough!

We couldn't have asked for better
We couldn't have asked for better. From our first dealings with Nature Travel Namibia [NTN] we were treated to excellent service. The back office team [Petra in the main], worked their magic to find accommodation that suited our desires for luxury at a price we could afford. This wasn't straightforward and in the end needed a change of direction, so instead of finishing at Etosha, we started there. Our guide, Joram, was a lovely guy and he knew his subjects well. Even while driving, his experienced eyes would pick out something to see, usually animals in the far distance, but this made for a great adventure. Every place we visited he had a story to tell us about and very soon we were made very comfortable. His driving was exemplary and when we stopped for the night, he took care of our luggage, and us as well! He'd even go as far as driving us to a restaurant [booked by NTN] and return to pick us up when we'd finished. He knew when we needed an early start to avoid traffic and heat, and knew when he could afford to allow us the luxury of a small lie in. The standard of all our accommodations was exaclty what we would have wished for, and we would cheerfully do it all again, booked, of course, through NTN.
