Watch the Duma experience climbing Kilimanjaro via the Northern Circuit Route. These video blogs (courtesy of Natalie Kim) share her group’s experience on the 8 day Northern Circuit Route. The trek took place in the middle of September during Tanzania’s dry season. As you can see from the video, there is some rain even though it is the dry season.

Guides Ema Mungure, Habibu Munjare and Imran Munga are featured in the video along with long-serving Duma porter Dickson Sumary. Watch our crew and clients dance, sing and have fun on the slopes of Kilimanjaro.

View our equipment, guides, safety measures and even our food! Our equipment includes a Marmot Lair 8 as our mountain mess tent and Mountain Hardwear Trango 3 sleeping tents. A private toilet and tent is also included on every climb.

Thank you, Natalie, for allowing us to share your videos! Karibuni sana wote kupanda mlima Kilimanjaro na Duma Explorer!!

Stacy Readal’s love affair with Tanzania began during her undergraduate years at UC Berkeley, when a study abroad program introduced her to the country’s landscapes, wildlife, and people. Captivated, she returned after graduation to volunteer—and it was during this time that she bought her first safari vehicle and founded Duma Explorer.

She went on to live in Tanzania for 15 years (pausing briefly for two years to earn her MBA from UCLA), traveling extensively across Africa and becoming fluent in Swahili. Today, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Stacy returns regularly to the continent she knows so well. She personally designs many of our travelers’ custom itineraries, bringing her deep firsthand knowledge and passion to every journey.
