Kitenge is a former tour guide and the current president of Tanzania.

History[edit]

Kitenge was the Simpson family's tour guide during their safari trip, which they won from a box of animal crackers. When the Simpsons landed in Tanzania, they met Kitenge at the airport, who had a bush baby on his shoulder. Noticing this, he scared the bush baby away. He then drove the Simpsons past several billboards for President Muntu. When asked who Muntu was, Kitenge explained that he was their leader and that he seized power in a bloodless coup, clarifying that all deaths were smotherings.

Kitenge took the Simpsons to their hotel for the night, which was a treehouse. He helped Bart with his mosquito net and then left the family to sleep. Marge asked Homer if he had tipped Kitenge, but Kitenge informed her that Homer had not. The next day, Kitenge brought the Simpsons to the Ngorongoro wildlife preserve and told them to sit back and observe nature. He showed the family various animals and even sang briefly with Homer. Kitenge then spotted poachers attempting to steal a cheetah and scared them off with his gun.

Kitenge later took the Simpsons to the Olduvai Gorge archaeological site, where he showed Homer the oldest known fossil of a human, which is 2 million years old. However, Homer was unimpressed, remarking that the skeleton had fewer bones than he did. Kitenge then brought the family to a Masai village, where they joined in drinking, singing, and dancing with the villagers. When Homer accidentally angered a hippopotamus, Kitenge jumped on the hippo and told the Simpsons to escape, sustaining injuries in the process. The Simpsons managed to flee down the river, unaware of what happened to Kitenge.

Kitenge survived the hippo encounter, as the Simpsons later saw a billboard showing that he had become president, while Muntu was now a flight attendant.[1]
