Alarena.com is a community of people that are seriously looking for a life partner or true love. The site serves as a great go-between for finding your ideal match and allows you to reach millions of potential marriage partners.

Alarena is a Nigerian yoruba word for ‘matchmaker’. The idea is taken from an age-old concept that is common to all African societies; enhanced and modernized by technology in order to help you find true love.

With Alarena, you can:

The site also offers couples who met and got married through Alarena.com an opportunity to spend their honeymoon in Africa’s most beautiful city, South Africa. You will simply tell your success story of how you met and married on Alarena.com and be entered to win an incredible honeymoon in Cape Town, South Africa.

The romantic trip will include round trip air fares for the new couple, hotel stay and US$800 in spending money courtesy of Alarena.com. Site seeing and attractions include Climb Table Mountain, Visit the Vineyards of Constantia, Drive along scenic Chapman’s Peak and have a romantic dinner at the Harbour.

Alarena.com is owned and operated by Afro Interactive which has offices in Abuja – Nigeria, Johannesburg, South Africa and Washington, DC.

My take on this site

First, I love the name and concept. It reflects the true nature of dating and finding love through matchmaking. The concept is unique and would reach millions of people across Africa and beyond.

The site’s design and interface is exceptional and professional, offering you great opportunities to meet and match with Africa’s people and share your success story with others.

    Thanks Dayo, but I can’t access the site. Perhaps the address is not correct. However, i’ll do a search on that.
