Authentic, genuinely well informed and thorough explanations of wildlife, geography and anthropology
Travelling as a family of 5 with a youngest child aged 7 we immediately felt so lucky to have George as our guide. Friendly, patient (with the demands of children) and such detailed academic knowledge of everywhere we toured. We felt safe, welcome and everything was done at a pace that suited us. An unforgettable visit with George who I would without hesitation recommend to friends, family and anyone seeking an adventure in safe hands. Our eldest child still talks of visiting Mt Kilimanjaro but only if George takes him!

George our driver and guide identified all the wildlife and history of the areas we visited. Fab.
We booked this tour to celebrate our 20 years of marriage and wanted a unique experience. It lived up to our expectations and we were very happy with our accommodation and service which exceeded our expectations. George our driver and guide was superb. He was able to identify all the wildlife and fauna we encountered and Was able to recount the history of the areas we visited. We were very impressed with his knowledge and he looked after our every need. Would recommend him without hesitation knowing that whoever he took on tour was in safe hands and would have, like us, a trip of a lifetime. Thank you George.

friendly atmosphere with a lot of interesting facts
I booked tour with Rainbow (Polish tour operator). We had safari in Kenia and Tanzania. During the safari in Tanzania George was our driver and tour guide. His English is perfect. George is super nice and creates friendly atmosphere. Each day we heard a lot of interesting facts about animals, plants and culture. He always knew answer to our questions :) George has great experience that he uses to find best spots for animal observation.

Overwhelms our imagination
We planned our safari tour a year in advance. Then I crashed on a bike but we did the tour anyway. We were nervous for the challenge it could be but George's excellent skills made the trip to the most memorable event we ever could dream of. He took us so close to the animals in an gently respectful manner and teaching us at the same time. I do strongly recommend that if you go on safari, go with George.

See Africa through George's eyes
We were lucky enough to have George Mbaula for our guide on our 2 week Tanzania photo safari. He is very knowledgeable about his environment and his ability to locate wildlife and then put you in the best place to see them is exceptional. As birdwatchers we were very impressed with his avian knowledge. George, also, has a likability factor that will make you feel very comfortable and at ease in your surroundings. Africa is a must see experience - add George to the mix to maximize it.

The best wildlife guide for wildlife photographers
As a wildlife photographer, my requirement from a tour operator and wildlife guide on a 10 day tour of Ngorongoro, Ndutu and Serengeti, is a far more exacting than the average tourist, and George exceeded my expectations every time. He is extremely knowledgeable about the different locations, he did his homework to find out what I wanted to achieve, in terms of species, how the vehicle was to be positioned according to the sun, the angle, etc. He shared his knowledge of the land, the people and the animals in great detail and made sure that I was satisfied with the answers. He always has a mile-wide grin and is very charming and engaging. I highly recommend George to anyone wishing to explore East Africa, the people and its wildlife, especially wildlife photographers.

Unforgettable memories and images
Although it was in 2007 the whole family keeps amazing souvenir of these days in Tanzania.
Our family travelled around With Georges : Arusha, Lake manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti north and south, Tarangire.
All these moments are so unforgettable and remain so present that they frequently raise up during our conversations.
Early morning safaris, the great migration, observation of the animals, very close of them. Georges has a perfect know-how to take the best profit to access the multiple situations that let you deeply dive in the wildlife. It's exectly why you are there.
Our children were around 10 to 15 years old, and it's also important to say that we always felt secured. I remember we had to face a car breakdown in Ngorongoro that was solved by replacing it in such a fluent manner in the evening that we could have been unaware of this.
We brought back in, France not only around 1500 photos that are still being frenquently watched today but mainly a unique experience that found no equivalence anywhere else.
We keep in touch with Georges all over these years as he is not only a high skill tehnician of safaris but such a super fine kind of guy you never forget.
We plan to go back.

Reliable, knowledgeable, capable and affable!
I have had the good fortune of being guided and driven by George Mbaula of Inland Africa Explorers twice now, both times in the capacity of joint photography-expedition leader, and I can honestly say it’s hard to think of what could be better in their planning and service! They are simply the best people, totally in touch with the field realities, with years and years in the bush, to handle your dream Tanzanian vacation or photo tour in the Serengeti Ecosystem.
On both my visits I was assisted expertly by them to plan the itinerary to optimise our time in the various locations. All local bookings were made by them in perfect consonance with our needs, and there was absolutely no hassle or last-minute surprises. Right from meet-and-greet to the moment of departure, their naturalist team was the epitome of punctuality, cordiality and professionalism. And best of all, they have a clear understanding of a photographer’s needs, which are the most demanding of any visitor’s, because it means early starts, perfect vehicle positioning and long hours in the field, all of which George’s team carried out cheerfully, with never a no and always a smile on their lips. Their unending energy and enthusiasm to keep toiling all day for the benefit of their guests with unending patience is truly exemplary. What’s more, they’d even clean the safari vehicles at lunchtime, while the guests took a breather!
All this is topped by their intimate knowledge of the bush and its wildlife, and passion for showing it to tourists and saving it for posterity.
I could go on but in the interest of brevity, I will sign off by saying that some of my fondest days in Africa have been spent in Ndutu, being taken around by George and his team amid the animals you can be sure they love as much as I ever could, and unwinding in the evenings with a beer reflecting on what a wonderful world it indeed is.
