The Serengeti is a very special place, offering iconic savannah panoramas teeming with wildlife, and it’s the site of some of our earliest human ancestors. Something else rather wonderful has evolved here too, Tanzania’s first all-female-run safari camp: Dunia. In its peaceful spot overlooking the Seronera plains and Moru Kopjes, Dunia has consciously evolved into a beacon of women’s empowerment in the safari industry.
As the world strives for gender parity, moves like this from Dunia’s owners, Asilia Africa, prove the immense capabilities of their female staff. Not only does the camp provide an opportunity for aspiring guides among Asilia’s existing female staff, it demonstrates to the wider industry that this change is possible, and it broadens the horizon for local girls and women.
At Expert Africa, we know from our glowing traveller reviews what a great job is done by the team at Dunia Camp. The warmth of the home-from-home hospitality and the quality of everything from the food to the skilful guiding make this a top spot in the Serengeti heartland.
