About the Creator
I’m Jasper Wellington, founder of Duma Travel News. Born and raised in Cape Town, I’ve spent over a decade traveling across Africa—from the bustling markets of Lagos to the quiet villages of the Drakensberg. What began as a personal passion for documenting Africa’s evolving stories became this platform. I created Duma Travel News because I saw a gap: too much surface-level reporting, too little depth. I wanted to build a space where African narratives are told with nuance, respect, and urgency.
Why This Website Exists
Africa is often misrepresented—or worse, ignored—in global media. Duma Travel News exists to change that. We’re here to ensure that whether you’re a tourist planning your first safari, a business professional navigating new markets, or a local citizen seeking truth in the news cycle—you have a trusted source that treats Africa with the complexity and dignity it deserves.
Our Values
Our work is guided by three principles:
- Accuracy first—Every story is fact-checked before publication
- Context over clickbait—We explain why things matter, not just what happened
- Amplifying African voices—Our sources, contributors, and subjects are predominantly African
We don’t chase trends. We follow truth. And we’re committed to growing this platform as a lasting resource for anyone who cares about Africa’s present—and its future.
