Justin Is the Best Safari Guide at Duma Explorer/Alika Africa - I surprised my wife with a safari for our wedding anniversary. Friends of ours recommended Duma Explorer/Alika Africa based on their safari experience, and I was extremely pleased with their coordination of our whole trip. We stayed in some of the most exclusive camps with excellent staff, service, and food. All the arrangements were top notch! Justin, our guide picked us up from the airport and we spent 11 days in his calm, professional hands and felt completely safe and secure on some of the most wet and wild roads I had ever experienced! More than just navigating the rough terrain with ease, Justin was clearly in his element showing us all the wildlife that beautiful Tanzania had to offer. We saw the "Big Five" most iconic wildlife species - lion, leopard, elephant, Cape buffalo and the elusive black rhinoceros. And we also experienced being part of the herd with the Wildebeest and zebra! Justin made sure that we saw it all. Thanks to Justin and Duma/Alika Africa, it was very exciting and a once in a lifetime adventure that I will never forget.

Duma Explorer is a special tour operator - Stacy designed a dream trip for us. Ebenezer carried it out on the ground as a perfect guide and gentleman. We could not have asked for a more perfect trip. Safe, exciting, special (and delicious food at every stop). Thank you to Duma Explorer/Alika Africa for the love you put in your work.

Incredible service and expertise! - We decided to go on safari for our honeymoon and didn’t really know what to expect. Based on the positive reviews I decided to go with Duma Explorer and I am so glad I did. Our trip was absolutely perfect and a truly once in a lifetime experience. Communicating beforehand was smooth and simple. Our guide, Ebenezer, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and capable. He could confidently answer every question we asked and knew how to safely navigate all of the parks we visited. We enjoyed getting to know him on a personal level as well. The accommodations they booked for us were beautiful with delicious food and amazing service. We had the best time and highly recommend this tour company!

Must Do! - We had the most amazing trip with Alika Africa and Duma Explorers! Everything ran so smoothly with Stacy’s planning and our guide Justin honestly made the whole experience unforgettable. He was super fun, easy to be around, and taught us so much about the animals and Tanzania in general. Justin always made sure we were in the perfect spot to see the wildlife — we got incredible views and photos every single day. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable, and made it a once in a lifetime experience! This trip totally exceeded our expectations. If you’re thinking about a safari in Tanzania, definitely ask for Justin, he’s the best!

Please read! Important! - Ok people listen up. This company has the best guide in Africa and he's name is Justin. Make sure you ask for him because we got to see some “ok” ones. He is so professional and took care of us the whole time. We got to see everything we wanted (everything). Justin taught us so many new things and had an answer for every question. On the intellectual aspect he was exactly what we needed. Someone with our mindset , young , family man, and ambitious. He always surprised us and the moment we thought we've seen it all he found us another crazy experience. Make sure you ask for this guy if you want to guarantee your safari experience will be successful and fun. Thank you Justin! Overall the experience was amazing, will definitely use this company again when I come back. Highly recommend!

Spectacular adventure through Tanzania!!! - Stacy created a spectacular personalized itinerary for my husband and me. She listened closely to our requests and created an epic trip with her deep knowledge of Tanzania. Working with our personalized tour guide, Ebenezer took our trip to an entirely new level, making our adventure that more special. His patience, knowledge, genuinely kind nature relaxed and made us feel safe throughout our journey. We truly made a friend for life. The Tanzanian culture, people, cuisine, nature, and animals captured our hearts. This was an experience of a lifetime, we will never forget. Thank you to all the kind and beautiful people we met along the way, especially Ebenezer, Stacy, Milcah!!!! Katherine and Christopher Hill

Fantastic safari with an exceptional guide - We had a fantastic 8 day tour with the best guide imaginable. Isack Msuya was an outstanding guide who went above and beyond. He could spot animals that were hard to find with binoculars. Our camps were superb with friendly hosts and great hospitality. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Isack.

Excellent Choice for Private Safaris in Serengeti and Ngorongoro - Duma Explorer/Alika Africa were recommended by a good friend when I told him of my desire to do a well led safari in Tanzania. We are so glad we listened. Everything was done well - you pay a high price for any private African safari, but this was absolutely worth the investment! The owner Stacey gave us excellent guidance as we organized the trip; she even helped us make superb choices for our hotels in our 11 days in Zanzibar. We spent 10 days with our private guide from Duma/Alika, and we completely bonded with our wonderful guide Isack. He has over 20 years of experience, respects the nature and really seems to have karma with nature. When a wildlife river crossing was delayed by weather and other factors, his sense was to go look for some lions on the rock hills, and we found them. When we showed him some interest in birds - he found us so many wonderful creatures, raptors and many others. This was a trip of a lifetime - 6 days in the Serengeti around the wildlife migration and 4 days entering Ngorongoro Crater - Isack found us great experiences every day. Highly recommended!!

A Truly Amazing Experience - We had an amazing trip! It started with our guide, Justin. WOW! He was absolutely amazing. He took care of us extremely well. He was also incredibly knowledgeable, teaching us all about the different animals and the ecosystem. The vehicle was in great shape. The accommodations and the food was excellent! On the first day we drove into the park, we saw a lion pride eating a kill from that morning. On the last day, driving out of the park, we saw a lioness carrying a cub in her mouth while the other cub followed her. Those were special bookends to our trip. In between, we saw leopards, a cheetah, giraffes, baboons, elephants, gazelles, water buffalo, wildebeests, and so much more. I really could not recommend Duma Explorer more. And I very highly recommend Justin to be your guide. He was amazing!

- Long time world traveler, and first time poster (Think North America, Europe, Asia, South America). I literally just returned from a Duma Explorer adventure a few hours ago. I grew up as poor black girl in New York City, except replace "black" with "white", "girl" with "boy", and "New York City" with "Rural Northern Wisconsin USA". It's about the same thing. Thinking about taking a plunge? Want to try something other than a temporary, trending Insta-perfect adventure? Look no further. Contact Stacy with your general idea(s), budget, and timeframe. She's prompt, precise, and will provide you with all options. I was fortunate enough to pair with Justin who's calm, curious, and committed. We cracked jokes about "The Ugly Five" (insert hand motions of the creator dashing salt / pepper into a bowl while stirring), caught the "Big Five" on camera due to his skill and commitment, and relaxed at some of the nicest, non-fenced, camps throughout the bush. I had literal elephant neighbors at Tarangire to keep me company at night. Look, if you're still reading this - what's the harm? Contact Stacy to get an idea. She doesn't bite, she'll connect you to a guide that matches your personality, and you'll have the holiday of a lifetime. 10/10.
