We had a fantastic with Duma. Our guide - Isack - was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The accommodation and food was excellent, and the whole trip really well organised. Would definitely recommend!

Once the decision was made, I was faced with an unprecedented challenge of choosing the best vendor among the innumerable TOs based in Africa as well as the United States. I knew I didn't want one that subcontracted its bookings to another TO or had USA-based reps that meant additional mark-ups. Based upon the many favorable reviews in TA, I... More

Like those of you who are reading this review we dreamed of a safari for a long time. We collected a ton of very glossy brochures for safaris that were beyond our means. We turned to Tripadvisor and found Duma Explorer and we are very glad we did. Here we paid for the experience not for the cost of promotional... More

I started researching a trip to Tanzania in mid-2012 and contacted a number of Arusha based companies with a very brief outline of our first attempt at an itinerary. The majority of companies were quick to respond but responses were quite generic; Duma were different. I got a detailed response from Stacy Readal giving me good advice as to which... More

Our family (3 children aged 3, 6 and 6) went on safari with Duma in February 2013. It was perfect from A to Z. The preparation with Stacy by email was easy, efficient and quick (Stacy is fast on the answer button !). Our guide, Kawaga, was the best of guides. He was very patient with our kids and always...

My husband and I went on a safari with Duma in November 2012. It is one of the most memorable experience - National Geographics in 3D, Disney's Lion King in live action! We were referred to Duma by our friends who had done a safari and the Kilimanjaro trek with Duma in early 2012. Stacy was responsive, accommodating, and professional.... More

We had previously a bad experience with a tour operator in Tanzania called Jabir Tours and so approached Duma with some trepidation. What a waste of energy. They were EXCELLENT. Stacey was very helpful over the net. And our driver/guide Isack was brilliant. Happy, courteous, helpful - and with Xray vision. One day we were driving thru a forest and... More

We 15 friends from Chinese families started our safari trip with Duma on 8th Feb. The experience was great. All our 3 guides/drivers - Kawaga, Hashim and Malles are very well prepared and competent. Their share of knowledge on wild animals, sharp observation and good network among all other drivers really made our safari enjoyable. One particular point I want... More

My wife and I and two friends did a safari in September 2012 and Duma Explorer made it a hassle-free and entirely enjoyable experience. The organiser, Stacy Readal, responded quickly to all of our questions and also gave a lot of good pre-trip information, such as recommendations of domestic airlines, information on lodges and tented camps, and even a packing...
