"Dunia Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 1 Apr 2024
"Excellent camp with superb guiding and general staff, who couldn’t have been more welcoming, efficient and friendly.

Our guide was Irene and was a pleasure to hang out with for 3 days - personable, energetic and possessed with fantastic knowledge. Great sense of humour too. We hope to see her again on another trip! Great sightings of the zebra/wildebeest migration, and a pleasure to have most sightings to ourselves. We were lucky enough to have the photographic vehicle to ourselves for the duration (as the camp wasn’t full) which made it extra special.

Only thing I would say to be aware of - and Asilia and the camp are obviously not in control of this - is to make sure you are comfortable with tsetse flies. We covered up, wore appropriate colours, used insect repellent and still both got bitten a LOT. It turns out I am very allergic to these ones. I’ve been bitten before in Ruaha and Mana Pools and didn’t react badly, although those actual bites were more painful. Something for future travellers to bear in mind!"

"Dunia Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 5 Feb 2024
"My second visit to Dunia and thoroughly enjoyable once again.

There is no doubt that the all women staff team adds an extra sparkle to the experience. In early February, when I visited, the chances of seeing big cats at Dunia is slim (I think I am correct in saying that). We did, however see two leopards on my first full day.

There may be the temptation to travel long distances in the hope of finding lion or cheetah. My recommendation would be to stay local to the camp and enjoy the richness of the area and available game." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 1n in Zanzibar; 1n in Kenya

"Dunia Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 23 Sep 2023
"We stayed for 3 nights at Dunia Camp as part of our 2 week safari holiday and I can’t express enough what a wonderful time we had.

We were collected from our short flight by our guide Neema. She was enthusiastic and informative right from the start. She has an amazing passion for her job and this really showed in everything she did.

This was the third stop on our safari, so we had already seen a lot. Neema went out of her way to find us something different, whether that was tracking a lion and lioness to waiting for a rhino to appear out of a bush. When we did encounter a rhino (and it was an amazing encounter!) Neema seemed just as excited and joyous as we were.

The camp is fantastic and the staff were so so lovely." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar

"Dunia Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 9 Sep 2023
"Dunia camp was different from our previous camps in that it was a more authentic bush camp than the others. we enjoyed excellent facilities and food, and especially enjoyed a surprise breakfast in the bush. clever and fun.

our guide, Neema, was exceptional. road conditions were terrible from recent rains, but she managed beautifully. and the game we saw was fabulous, especially a pride of 5 male lions at a kill. can't say enough good things about Dunia." See all these reviews: 14n in Tanzania

"Beautiful Lady's camp"

3 nights Arrived 1 May 2023
"Staying at Dunia camp was one of the purposes that I came to Serengeti. Because Dunia is the only camp run by women in Africa and I wanted to support Asilia's trial.

Dunia met my expectations. All of staff were very friendly and kind, food was great, guide was very knowledgeable. Rooms have been renovated so they don't have real rustic camp feel now, but it's really comfortable to stay.

There were only few guests staying here, I had a private vehicle and private guides. Every day, I could spend my time as I like. Also Dunia offered individual table for every meal.

On one night, there were only 2 solo guests including me. We started dinner separately, but soon we started to talk each other and shared our experiences. That was a wonderful moment.

Unfortunately, Ihad to give up to find rhinos because of very bad road condition......so, next time for sure." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania

"A unique and first rate experience 0000"

2 nights Arrived 5 Sep 2022
"I selected Dunia Camp largely because I wanted to support the idea of a camp run by women. The safari experience was the same high quality as I have previously experienced from Asilia - the guiding, accommodation, food and overall service was first rate; staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

The 'feel' of the camp was, however, different - possibly amplified by my being a solo female traveller. The welcome was exceptionally warm, and the women were charming and great fun. I was asked if I wanted company during the evening meal, in a way that was non-intrusive and friendly. There was a lot of laughter and gentle teasing both ways. I don't think I have ever slept in such a comfortable bed!

My guide, Laila correctly anticipated animal behaviour, which meant I got some great sightings.

A camp run only by women begs the question, is it better or worse that a camp run only by men or by men and women together. It is neither better nor worse, but it does have a different feel - in a very positive way." See all these reviews: 7n in Zanzibar; 5n in Tanzania; 1n in Kenya

"Dunia Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 26 Jul 2022
"The Dunia camp was probably the best camp we stayed in.

The atmosphere is what makes the difference: the ladies at the camp treat you like family.

They celebrated my husband's birthday with six months delay given the various postponements of our trip, and he keeps saying it was his best birthday ever!" See all these reviews: 5n in Tanzania; 3n in Zanzibar

"The Ladies Camp"

3 nights Arrived 9 Jun 2022
"We loved our stay at the Ladies Camp!

All of the women were incredibly welcoming and quick to help us with anything we needed. The food was delicious (including the packed breakfast and lunch) and we particularly enjoyed the desserts.

Our room was very comfortable and it was a treat to watch the sunrise on the patio (and hear the lions roaring through the night). :)" See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

"Dunia Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 7 May 2021
"A charming little camp that is entirely run by women (staff, guide, guard and management) which adds a special touch and feel. The camp is in every respect run very professionally with each team member contributing lots of care and love to the warm atmosphere of the camp.

We felt at home from the very first minute and were looked after so well during our entire stay. A great benefit of the camp is its location near the Moru Kopjes which also means away from the crowds of the busier park sections. During our stay in May, the difficult road conditions did unfortunately not allow driving to the Kopjes, but our guide and driver Neema did a terrific job showing us herds of zebras, buffalos and wildebeest, lions in trees, bat ear foxes, leopard and many other in other scenic areas of the park.

The camp itself is very well maintained and the spacious tents offer all luxury needed for a classic safari experience.

We also like to highlight that Dunia was further best in class with respect to the Company‘s Covid protocol. Thank you Ladies!" See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania
