* TheKlutz: George is very clumsy, regularly [[WatchOutForThatTree bumping into trees]] and otherwise bumbling through the jungle.
* TarzanBoy: He's a comedic example of the trope, a {{loincloth}}-wearing, {{vine swing}}ing, strong but [[TheKlutz clumsy]] and [[IdiotHero stupid]] NatureHero.

--> '''Played by''': Creator/HollandTaylor (first film); Creator/ChristinaPickles (sequel)

by:''' Richard Roundtree (Kwame), Abdoulaye N'Gom (Kip), Michael Chinyamurindi (N'Dugo, 1st Movie), Lamont Thompson (N'Dugo, 2nd Movie), Lydell M. Cheshier (Baleto / Bateke)

Four African guides that
Ursula hires to marry Lyle.guide her on her trip, who end up forced along when Lyle takes over the expedition. They are not particularly fond of him.

Kwame is calm and reasonable, and speaks for the group most of the time. Kip, N'Dugo and Baleto ''apparently'' only speak Swahili, and are sarcastic {{Troll}}s who enjoy insulting Lyle behind his back... and to his face.



* BilingualBackfire: Kip, N'Dugo and Baleto turn out to be perfectly capable of speaking English, and just didn't feel inclined to do so around Lyle.
* BilingualBonus: Most of the guides' Swahili is subtitled, but some lines go completely uncovered.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Their most memorable gag has them stop the film to explain the trope SlippingIntoSink, then laugh about it.
--> '''Kip:''' "Bad guy falls in poop: classic element of physical comedy. Now comes the part where we through our heads back and laugh!"
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They make a brief appearance in the second film, but Kwame is missing.
* DeadpanSnarker: Most of Kip, N'Dugo and Baleto's lines are them snarking in Swahili. Particularly Kip, who is the most vocal about hating Lyle.
* TheHyena: They give Lyle zero respect, and most of their scenes end with them laughing hysterically to his face.
* ImagineSpot: In the sequel, they get a daydream where they toss Beatrice off a cliff after she flings one too many racist insults their way. The narrator doesn't let them do it, but consoles them by letting them keep messing with her.
* JerkassToOne: The guides are only ever nasty to Lyle, and even then they only really start after he pisses them off one too many times. They're perfectly nice to Ursula, and even attend her wedding.
* OnlySaneMan: Kwame is the most normal person in the whole film. He spends much of it getting increasingly exasperated, especially as he's the one who mostly has to deal with [[TheMillstone Lyle.]]

He's emotionally intelligent, gifted at calibrating where and how best to swing, and quick to pick up on modern San Francisco technology. As the women admiring him frolicking with horses point out, George isn't dumb, he just has [[GeniusDitz a different kind of intelligence]].
