Private 8 day Northern Circuit Kilimanjaro Climb

We had an amazing time on the 8 day Lemosho route to the top of Kilimanjaro. Duma had everything well planned and organized. Their top priority was getting us safely to the top of the mountain. Our guides (Emanuel & Imran) and staff were totally cool and fun to hike with. They took the time to point out interesting wildlife and vegetation. They met with us every evening to discuss and help us prepare for the next day's hike. I highly recommend Duma to anyone considering Kilimanjaro!

We had a wonderful 8 day Northern Circuit Kilimanjaro Climb with Duma in September 2022. Everything was very well planned, both in the preparation with Stacy via email/phone, with prompt replies and detailed info, as well as during the climb with a very experienced crew that took care of all details. You could see that this is the result of many years of experience as nothing was left to chance. Emanuel and Colman, our guides, were extremely knowledgeable and made sure we were always well and safe, following our pace and supporting us in the climb. The team of porters was great too, super helpful and very welcoming. We felt comfortable at all times and never missed anything. Thanks to all the crew we made it to the top, in an unforgettable experience. Would definitely book with them again.

We would like to thank Duma Explorer and its great team who travelled with us during the 8 days Lemosho route to the top of Kilimanjaro. In particular, a big thank you goes to our 2 guides (Emmanuel and Humphrey) for their amazing support all the way. They are knowledgeable, patient, and fun. They had answers to all our questions, their english was impeccable and their love for their mountain is unshakable and contagious. They had no doubt we would be able to make it to the top - and we did! The crew who joined us was phenomenal. Not only did they look after us, they anticipated our needs, and were always one step ahead of us - literally. It was eye opening how hard they worked to make us feel safe and comfortable. From the hot water for washing our hands, the morning coffee in our tent, the hot water bottle to warm our freezing limbs at night. They had every detail covered. All with a smile. They were gracious and polite even when it was freezing cold, when we had walked 10hours, when we were tired. It was evident their bond was strong, they respected each other and had fun. We chose Duma Explorer because, as part of the Kilimanjaro Porter Association, of their promise to look well after their staff, porters and guides. Providing them with an above industry pay and tips. This is crucially important. While we dont blink when we buy our overpriced mountain gear we should not forget that those who get us up (and down) the mountain safely are the people we entrust our lives to. It was a life changing, intense and spiritual experience. A dream 10 years in the making that finally came true in such an unforgettable way and we have Emanuel, Humphrey, Adamou, Wazeer, Mohamed, Rajabu, Omary, Japhari, Shabani, Winston, Samson, Idrisa, Yahaya, Seleman to thank for making our dream come true. Hakuna Matata.
