TOUR ITINERARY
Setting Sail:
Your day begins with a pick-up from your hotel by Plex Africa Safari, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free start. You’ll be transported to Fumba, a charming village on the southwest coast of Zanzibar. Here, you’ll board a traditional dhow, a wooden sailing vessel that has graced these waters for centuries. The dhow, with its billowing white sails, promises a picturesque and authentic experience.
Exploring Menai Bay:
As the dhow glides through the azure waters of Menai Bay, you’ll be captivated by the stunning scenery. The bay is a protected conservation area, teeming with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. Your first stop will be a sandbank, a pristine stretch of white sand emerging from the ocean. Here, you can relax, soak up the sun, and take in the breathtaking views.
Snorkeling and Discovering Underwater Wonders:
Next, it’s time to plunge into the crystal-clear waters and explore the underwater world. Plex Africa Safari provides all the necessary snorkeling gear, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience. As you snorkel, you’ll be mesmerized by the kaleidoscope of colors – schools of fish darting through the coral, sea turtles gracefully gliding by, and perhaps even a glimpse of a playful dolphin.
A Feast for the Senses:
After your underwater adventure, you’ll be treated to a delectable seafood barbecue on the secluded Kwale Island. The aroma of grilled fish, lobster, and octopus will tantalize your senses as you feast on the freshest catches of the day. The meal is accompanied by exotic fruits, refreshing drinks, and the warm hospitality of the Safari Blue crew.
Mangroves and Hidden Lagoons:
Kwale Island is not just about the food; it’s also a natural wonderland. You can explore the island’s mangrove forests, home to a hidden lagoon perfect for a refreshing swim. You might even spot the ancient baobab tree, a majestic giant that has stood witness to centuries of Zanzibar’s history.
Relaxation and Return:
As the day winds down, you’ll have some time to relax on the dhow, basking in the sun and enjoying the gentle sea breeze. The crew will share stories about Zanzibar’s culture and history, adding depth to your experience. Finally, you’ll sail back to Fumba, where Plex Africa Safari will be waiting to take you back to your hotel, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.
Safari Blue is a reminder that adventure awaits just beyond the shore. It’s a call to embrace the unknown, to dive into the depths of the ocean and emerge refreshed and renewed. It’s a chance to connect with nature, to appreciate the simple pleasures of sun, sea, and sand.
Let the gentle rocking of the dhow lull you into a state of tranquility. Let the vibrant colors of the reef awaken your senses. Let the warmth of the Zanzibar sun fill you with joy. Safari Blue is more than an experience; it’s an inspiration. It’s a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us, waiting to be discovered. Go. Explore. Dream. Discover your own piece of paradise in the heart of the Indian Ocean.

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, 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, 2024Unforgettable! - My family and I spent an amazing day at Nyerere national park with our excited and knowledgeable guide Jafari. He taught us a lot about the bigger and smaller animals... read more living inside of the national park and made the experience unforgettable. I would highly recommend this experience and guide to anyone who loves nature!

Amazing 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!

October 16, 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.

November 7, 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
