Duma guides complete training

Duma's safari and mountain guides the last four weeks in an in-depth training course on wildlife behavior and ecology. The course included three weeks of classroom lessons and one week of field training.

Recommended Lodge: Plantation Lodge, Karatu

We recently visited Plantation Lodge in Karatu and highly recommend the property for safaris including Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. Each room has its own style and there are fresh cut flowers throughout the common areas and rooms. Plantation has beautiful gardens, many seating areas, a pool, and delicious food. However, the best thing about Plantation Lodge is that it is just as nice or nicer than other properties charging twice the price!

Wilderness First Responder training

Five of Duma's mountain guides successfully passed Wilderness First Responder certification classes in April, 2010. The WFR course is an intensive, ten day course designed to train participants how to respond to emergency situations in remote settings.
