Climb Kilimanjaro with Duma Explorer

Duma Explorer has been organizing treks up Kilimanjaro since 2004. Duma's success rate on eight and nine day climbs is 99% while our overall success rate is 85%.

Duma Explorer is a socially responsible company that provides excellent service to its clients. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun trekking experience at a reasonable price. Because we are based in Tanzania, we can provide high quality gear and pay our staff well while continuing to offer climbs at a lower price than competitors offering a similar service.

We arrange climbs via all routes on Kilimanjaro, and will work with you to choose the best route for your fitness level. We provide high quality equipment and trained staff during every climb. Our head guides are Wilderness First Responder certified and many porters have completed first aid courses.

Duma Explorer is a proud partner for responsible travel with the International Mountain Explorers Connection. Duma is one of just a few Kilimanjaro trekking companies to qualify for IMEC membership. In order to be a partner, Duma must adhere to IMEC's guidelines on porter care regarding wages and gratuities, loads, and provisions on the mountain. For more information on IMEC's guidelines for Kilimanjaro operators, please view their website at http://www.mountainexplorers.org.
