This trip is very well organised, and George the driving is cool and stop as we want to take picture
The service is excellent, and the parks are all various with many lions, girafes,zebras,hipo, gnous,elelephants and small animals also as cervals,genettes etc...the land is peacefull. The timing is ok and lodges are fantastics. The change money is complicated to manage, dollar is better small change.

Greatest Experience of a lifetime
I went with a group of 8 people. George was our guide for 9 full days. Everything was planned for 4 full safari days in Tanzania and volunteering at The Zakari School. The accommodation and food were excellent. The volunteering was such a fabulous heartwarming experience. George and Hillary even had a talk with the kids about being a guide and gave them a ride in the safari trucks.
George and Hillary each have 20 years of experience, and they are very knowledgeable, informative, and funny. I always felt safe, and they know the Serengeti so well. Being on safari with such great guides made the experience one in which I was in awe of each and every day. I hope to come back again; and I would contact George to be our guide.

George Mbaula is an exceptionally kind, informative, and skilled safari guide.
My partner and I (ages 26 & 28) traveled with George on a private 3-day, 2-night safari to Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. He is professional, kind, and an unparalleled expert in his field. George provided us with fascinating information about the animals and parks, as well as the tribes of Tanzania and history of the region. He also helped us to practice our Swahili, patiently answering all of our many, many questions. George is as reliable as they come and had all of stops and visits planned perfectly. In the final hour of our safari, he somehow managed to spot the black rhino that had eluded every tour group throughout the day - from a distance at least 100 meters, while driving! Just incredible work. I hold George and his company in the highest esteem and recommend him to anyone looking for a phenomenal safari experience. His warm personality and expertise made our trip unforgettable. Thank you George!
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!

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.,

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.

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.

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.
