5-Day Private Safari Tour in Northern Tanzania

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!

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

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.

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!!

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.

Our 5-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro was unforgettable—thanks to our guide, Iddy. He made every moment feel tailored just for me and my friend, Dustin. From spotting lions at sunrise to explaining local stories with heart and humor, Iddy brought the experience to life in a way no guidebook ever could. His deep knowledge, sharp eye, and personal touches turned a dream trip into a lifelong memory. If you're going—request Iddy. Truly one of a kind.
