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.

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.

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.

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.
