TOUR ITINERARY
Day 1 : Game Drives in Tarangire National Park
We will pick you up at your hotel in Zanzibar early morning and transfer you to the airport for your flight to Arusha. Upon arrival, we will drive you to Tarangire for a full-day game drive
Famous for its large elephant population, it is also home to zebra, wildebeests, giraffes, waterbucks, baboons and impalas. Predators include lions, cheetahs and leopards. The swamps are shared by flocks of birds; green wood hoopoes, lovebirds, tallish herons, white-bellied go-away birds and giant kingfishers. On drier ground, you will find the kori bustard and the heaviest of the flying birds, the ostrich.
After your game drive, you will return to Africa Safari Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.
Accommodation: Africa Safari Karatu
Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater Game Drives Then Fly to Zanzibar
You will be picked up at your hotel and driven to the Ngorongoro Crater. Today, you will go on a full-day game drive in the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 and is one of the only places on earth where mankind and wild animals co-exist in harmony.
You will visit a Masai Village in the Ngorongoro Highlands (optional) where you will meet the elders, warriors, women and children and learn about the culture, beliefs and traditions of Tanzania’s last nomadic community.
The crater is famous for Africa’s best game viewing as there is an ever-present abundance of wildlife due to the permanent water supply on the crater floor. You will spot the endangered black rhinos, wildebeests, buffalos, zebras, elands, Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, giant tusked elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, scavengers such as spotted hyenas, jackals and wild dogs
Later after the game drive, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Zanzibar.
Tarangire National Park: A Symphony of the Wild
Step into Tarangire National Park, where ancient baobabs stand as sentinels of time and golden savannahs stretch as far as the eye can see. Here, the gentle giants of Africa—the elephants—roam in majestic herds, and the Tarangire River breathes life into a diverse ecosystem teeming with wildlife. This is a place where nature’s rhythms unfold in perfect harmony, reminding us of the beauty and balance of the untamed world. Let Tarangire inspire your spirit and awaken your connection to the wild. 🌍✨
Ngorongoro Crater: Nature’s Perfect Haven
Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater is a natural masterpiece—a sanctuary where life thrives in perfect harmony. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, often called the “Garden of Eden,” boasts breathtaking landscapes, from lush green plains to sparkling soda lakes. Home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five, the crater is a reminder of nature’s abundance and resilience.
Standing on the rim, gazing into this ancient caldera, you can’t help but feel connected to the earth’s wild beauty. Ngorongoro is not just a destination; it’s a journey into the soul of Africa’s wilderness. 🌿🦁

Fantastic one-day safari to Mikumi National Park from Zanzibar - We booked a one day safari to Mikumi National Park from Zanzibar. Communication with Eddy beforehand was excellent, and everything was really well-organsed. The guides were great, really well-informed, and... read more we saw a good variety of wildlife, including lions. We would highly recommend Plex Africa Safaris.

November 4, 2024Wonderful experience - What am amazing experience our 2 day safari was. I spent ages researching and was pleased to choose Plex. Edward, was great in responding really quickly to any questions... read more I had, all the staff were so friendly and helpful from Morris who dropped and collected us to the airport, to our safari guide Jafari, our drivers Eugenio, G and captain Kasimi in the boat they all ensured we had the best experience. All arrangements were stress free and were seamless.
The safari day inside the park was one we’ll never forget, we saw Giraffes, Antelopes, Impalas, Warthogs, Wilderbeast, Zebras, Hippos , Crocodiles, Baboons and our favourite Elephants. Our driver Eugenio was fantastic at taking us off the main roads to have the best chance of seeing so many animals and Jafari our guide was very knowledgable and informative. All the food was delicious and drinks were provided on the jeep. We were met at 8.30am off the plane and were dropped at the Selous lodge at 6.30pm, it was a whole day driving vast distances around the park, and the scenery and animals were fantastic. The Selous lodge was lovely, with a pool so a wonderful place to unwind. All the staff again were so friendly and helpful. Day 2 Jafari picked us up again and we went on a boat safari seeing hippos, crocodiles, and lots of wonderful birds, followed by a village tour to get a feel of local life in Tanzania and a school visit with lots of wonderfully curious children keen to show us their English and counting skills.
We had such an amazing experience, the Plex staff really did do their utmost to ensure we had a fantastic time. We felt it was good value for money. Just bear in mind the extra tips for the drivers, guide, captain etc It’s been the highlight of our holiday and an experience we’ll never forget. Thanks Plex!waders10
August 15, 2024Amazing experience seeing wild animals up close - Plex Africa arranged everything 100% perfect. We were in a two day trip in Nyerere National Park. Communication was smooth, taxi drivers were right in time for pick up, speak... read more good English and are polite and professional. We travelled with two heavy luggage full of diving gear. The luggage was too big to take in the small plane so our driver Morris offered to take them to his home and picked us up next day from the airport with the luggage and drove to our hotel. In Nyerere our guide Songoro went over and beyond for finding the best spots to see animals and action up close during the game drive. I can highly recommend!

November 7, 2024Great First 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... read more 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!BARRY L
November 18, 2024An unforgettable adventure! - We did a one-day safari with Plex Africa Safari. From the first communication everything went smoothly. The questions we asked for the organization of our day trip were answered quickly... read more and correctly. Everything was well organised, from the pick-up at the hotel, the safari and the return journey to our hotel. The safari was amazing. Jafari was our amazing guide and took our wishes into account. He answered all of our questions and was very patient when we took photos. Jafari also had a lot of knowledge of the animals that live in Nyerere and told us all about them with lots of enthousiasm. Breakfast at the Baobab tree was super nice and lunch was very tasty. We would definitely recommend this day trip and our guide to any nature lovers.
