I'm a little late in reviewing Duma, we are still travelling since going on safari with them. I cannot recommend them enough! Firstly Stacy (the woman in the office) was always very prompt in her replies. I emailed many companies and the way she replied and dealt with our emails was one of the reason we chose Duma. We were... More

Duma helped us work through the planning of our two week visit to Tanzania. The result included rest time and an efficient sequence of visits to Tanzanian National Parks that took us through five separate eco-systems. We were well cared for from the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro to the moment we re-boarded two weeks later. All accommodations were as... More

My husband and I worked with Stacy Readal at Duma to book our 'trip of a lifetime' to Tanzania to climb mount Kilimanjaro and take a photo safari. We chose Duma because of their excellent TA reviews, Stacy's responsiveness and their competitive pricing, and were in no way disappointed. See my lengthy reviews on the Tanzania Forum, one about our... More

My family had the trip of a lifetime with Duma and our driver Isack, but even as I want to say what a wonderful trip we had, I am also compelled to respond to the Feb 23 review of Duma’s guide written by “PandaHouston.” It stands out as a complete anomaly among the unanimously outstanding reviews written by other travelers...

We just returned from an eleven-day safari in northern Tanzania with Duma Explorer guide Ebenezer. We were utterly delighted with Duma's service from start to finish and with our guide. He was exceptional in every way, including avoiding the packs of cars that clustered around some animal sightings. We witnessed (as we drove by without stopping) 20 cars completely ringing... More

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Duma Explorer! The only negative thing I have is that I wish we had used them for our safari as well but hopefully next time! We chose to do a 6 day Machame Kilimanjaro route. We were supported by our two amazing guides, Emmanuel and Mike, our cook and a... More

I don't have enough superlatives to praise the 7 day safari that Stacy created for me and two friends. I wrote a long review the other day and it seems to have disappeared or not been posted. I just wanted to say briefly that I just spent an hour telling a friend who is going to Tanzania why she and... More

Stacy with Duma is excellent. I am a very hands on planner and she always very promptly answered all my emails where I had tons of questions. Although not the cheapest quote I got, I chose Duma because of Stacy. I had been planning this safari for over a year to see the wildebeest birthing. Unfortunately, because of the drought,... More

We regret that you did not enjoy your game drives. However, in the 200+ safaris Isack Msuya has led for Duma Explorer, this is the first time we have a received a complaint about his guiding abilities or personality. He has more repeat clients, special requests, and photography groups than any of our other guides. Of his numerous reviews on... More

Kudos to Duma Explorer for the excellent help in planning the safari of our dreams! Stacy at Duma worked with us to determine our interests and was very quick and responsive to our e-mailed questions in planning our trip; her suggestions for route and locations and timing all proved invaluable. Duma's excellent guide/driver Kisimbo was very knowledgable and conscientious and... More

If we could give 6’s we would! We all agree that everything Duma did for us and our Kilimanjaro/Safari experience was outstanding. The great service with Duma started the moment we made contact with Stacy. The itinerary was clearly communicated and every detail was thought of. The food on the mountain was above and beyond what we could have expected.... More
