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.

Very professional, knowledgeable & courteous
We visited Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu & Central Serengeti. The entire trip was very well organised right from the pick-up from the airport till dropping us back. We had excellent sightings & had good photo opportunities. They have very good knowledge of the parks and understanding of a photographer's requirements.

You cannot beat Inland Africa Explorers in anything
Though we are pretty regular to Africa, twice a year, we had the opportunity to do our last trip through Inland Africa Explorers. I must admit they are are the best in making sure every detail of the trip is arranged impeccably.
Though we arrived in ones and twos at Kilimanjaro airport, there was someone waiting for us with a smile to take us through to the hotels. After a good rest overnight, we departed to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. With rains pouring, we were very safe with the drivers provided.
We completed the ten day trip covering Ngorongoro, Ndutu and the Serengeti with no hiccups whatsoever with accommodation, food, and the safari.
Very friendly staff, and they would have an answer to every question you have. If there was requirement to drive long distances suddenly due to a good sighting, they would rev it up, and make sure you get the best of the sighting.
We have now decided to use Inland Africa for every trip to Tanzania. Not to mention George who will ultimately become a good friend of yours once the trip is done. Very highly recommended.,
Mind blowing experience!!
We hired George as our tour guide for 2 nights 3 day safari at Serengeti national park. We had great time with him.
He speaks very fluent English, extremely patient and polite.
Took care of our needs, especially always looking out for good pit stops, that cleans and hygienic.
He has great knowledge about the area and provided good information about the animals and history of the parks.
I would highly recommend inland Africa explorers for your safari guide!

Fantastic company for our unforgettable Tanzania holiday
We were lucky enough to have George as our guide for a dream family trip to Tanzania. We were looked after with so much care and attention, from the moment we were picked up, George was committed to showing us the best possible experience of Tanzania. His knowledge of Serengeti, Ngorongoro and the other national parks is amazing and helped us see so much incredible wildlife. He also gave us great insight into Tanzania’s history and culture and it was a real pleasure to spend our week with him.

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.

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.
