“My family and I booked a 10-day Tanzanian safari through Duma Explorer, visiting Arusha National Park, Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and it was beyond our wildest dreams. Stacy made the planning process easy from start to finish. Our guide Ibrahim was fantastic—knowledgeable, upbeat, skilled at spotting animals, and always respectful of the wildlife. By the end of the trip, he felt like both our guide and a new friend.”

“Stacy and Alika provided us with an incredible itinerary that captured the true beauty of Tanzania. If you have the chance to even just meet Justin or Msangi, you should consider yourself one of the luckiest people in the world. Between Msangi’s joyous laugh and Justin’s quick wit and humor they truly made the trip as memorable as it was.”

“We chose Duma based on reputation, reviews, footprint in Africa, and extensive guide training. They delivered 100%. Planning with Stacy was seamless. We were enthralled by Elwai Camp in the Serengeti and Mysigio Camp in Ngorongoro. Our guide seemed able to spot any creature—and we saw a wildebeest river crossing.”

“Justin was amazing—leading us to 42 different big cats over three days, predicting animal behavior with uncanny ability, and educating us on the Serengeti ecosystem. We saw 34 lions, two leopards, and six cheetahs. Every evening he cleaned the Land Cruiser so each morning we climbed back into a spotless car.”

“I cannot more highly recommend Duma Explorer / Alika Africa for both a Mt. Kilimanjaro trek and a safari. Stacy was excellent—responsive, trustworthy, and kind. On the mountain, guides Ema, Gabriel, and Miriam took great care of us; on a rainy night the crew even carved drainage so we didn’t get wet. On safari, Isaack’s decades of experience showed in his patience, storytelling, and vast knowledge.”
