Tanzania Adventure
We were looking for a last-minute vacation destination (one month in advance).
I had it in my head that October was an excellent month to visit Tanzania (and I wasn't wrong).
After being turned down by a local agency because it was "too late to organize everything properly at a reasonable price," I remembered a jeep that had stopped for some participants of "Pekin Express" earlier in the year and the advertisement covering the rear wheels: "All Wheels Experience" with a picture of a gazelle.
So we contacted the company to see if they could help us. We had in mind Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, a visit to a Maasai village and the coffee plantations at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and if possible, a trip to Lake Natron, all within nine days.
And… Mr. Edward’s answer was “yes,” a fully organized tour with everything we wanted except for Lake Natron, but in exchange, a refreshing dip in the Chemka Hot Springs (which, for those used to hot springs, isn’t quite that hot).
The total price, including airport transfers, comfortable hotels, full board, park entrance fees for the safaris, and a French-speaking driver-guide, was reasonable.
We toured the parks with Mr. Amani, who answered our questions and guided us to where the animals were, almost as if we had a pre-arranged appointment. We saw the Big Five, many other animals from all groups, territorial fights among monkeys, mating displays, vultures, hyenas and leopards feeding, lions with full bellies, cheetahs hunting, and lots of cubs.
After our safari with Mr. Amani, thanks to Mr. Edward, we visited a Maasai tribe during a ceremony. This allowed us to see them in their beautiful traditional attire, complete with accessories, and to observe their rituals without being distracted by our presence. An unforgettable experience.
The last leg of our trip was at the foot of Kilimanjaro. We hiked to discover a waterfall amidst breathtaking vegetation, encountered numerous chameleons, and participated in a coffee workshop where we learned the entire process, including a tasting. Another experience we won't soon forget.
And finally, we explored Chemka Hot Springs, where we were literally blown away. The pictures found online don't do it justice. A word of advice: bring goggles and a mask to see the bottom.
Otherwise, communication was easy and efficient. Plus, you're supporting a local business.

Unforgettable Safari with All Wheels Experience!
What an amazing trip! Three years ago, we took our first safari with a well-known company that did a solid job. This time, a friend strongly recommended All Wheels, raving about their personal attention, deep knowledge of the parks, fair pricing and exceptional guides — and we’re so glad we listened.
Though a newer company, All Wheels’ president, Edward, is extremely experienced in the safari business. He was great to work with: responsive, knowledgeable, and happy to give us different itineraries and price points. We chose an 8-day luxury safari, and it exceeded every expectation.
We were met at JRO Airport and transferred by van to our Arusha hotel. Instead of the more popular Gran Meliá, we opted for the Forest Hill Hotel, which is smaller and more lodge-like, yet still upscale. We loved it.
Our first day was in Arusha National Park, which gets mixed reviews because it lacks big cats — but we found it beautiful, and full of life. The guided walking safari is a must: safe and an incredible way to experience wildlife up close. And don't miss the waterfalls.
Edward suggested flying by small plane to the Serengeti, skipping a seven-hour bumpy drive. Best decision we made. Within five minutes of landing, we were seeing lions and giraffes. The one hour flight was absolutely worth the slight additional cost.
We spent two days in the Serengeti, seeing an astonishing number of animals — especially big cats. A great safari depends on a great guide, and All Wheels delivered with Emmanuel. He was exceptional: knowledgeable, patient, an excellent driver, fluent in English, and full of “secret spots.” As a bonus, my wife and I are birders, and Emmanuel’s bird knowledge was outstanding.
We then traveled to Ndutu, where we witnessed wildebeest giving birth — an extraordinary experience. Watching calves stand up and run within minutes was incredible, though safaris also show nature’s harder realities like injured animals and babies being hunted and killed.
Throughout the trip, our tented camps were fantastic — comfortable, safe, well-appointed, and serving excellent food. Daily picnic lunches were great, and my wife’s vegetarian diet was easily accommodated. Edward made sure we stayed at top places that were also very convenient.
A day in the Ngorongoro Crater felt like a zoo in the best way — wildlife everywhere you look, from grazers to big cats. Our guide even spotted rarities like honey badgers, a serval, and a melanistic black cat. With my wife’s interest in archaeology, we also visited Olduvai Gorge, the cradle of humankind where Louis and Mary Leakey made their discoveries. It’s small, but absolutely worth the detour.
Our final day was in Lake Manyara National Park, smaller but with alot of monkeys, elephants, and birds — a wonderful way to end the journey.
Bottom line: safaris are serious business. You’re in the wilderness, far from cities, relying on your guide, vehicle, and company for both safety, food, accommodations - and experiences. All Wheels takes that responsibility very seriously. But they also excel at the smaller details that make all the difference — like suggesting a smaller plane to bypass long drives - and especially using top notch 4-wheel-drive Land Cruisers with 8 cylinders vs 6. We saw other vehicles stuck in the mud more than once; and because of our 4 wheel drive - we never were!
With so many safari companies to choose from, it pays to be careful and selective. We did our research and chose All Wheels because they’re smaller, more personal, safety-focused, and genuinely care about delivering an extraordinary experience - at a fair price.
I couldn’t recommend them more highly. All Wheels deserves to become one of Tanzania’s leading safari companies. Bravo — and thank you, Edward!

Outstanding and Most Memorable
Our safari with All Wheels was truly special. From the start, planning with Edward, the owner, felt thoughtful and personal. Edward was patient, knowledgeable, and he listened to our thoughts about the trip. He helped to map out a perfect trip. Once in Tanzania, everything flowed smoothly, letting us be present and enjoy every moment.
We had been to Tanzania before and had an idea what to expect, but this trip really allowed us to immerse ourselves in the wonders of nature, culture, and the vastness of the Serengeti and beyond. We started our experience in Arusha National Park. Taking the walk with the ranger was amazing. Next, we chose to fly into the Seronera Airport, right in the Serengeti, which made the trip even better because we were out exploring within minutes of landing.
Our guide, Emmanuel, was exceptional — calm, kind, deeply knowledgeable, and someone who made us feel safe at every moment. Being so close to wildlife in the Serengeti and Ndutu was both exhilarating and humbling, especially witnessing new life and the realities of nature side by side. We all saw all the key players that you would want to see on a safari, but this time we spent more time to find some more unusual cast of characters: a beautiful serval, honey badgers being followed by a jackal, so many gorgeous birds, and even a melanistic black wild cat. When your guide is excited about the finds, you know you are seeing something quite special.
Each accommodation exceeded my expectations. Every tented camp was unique, beautiful, clean, and staffed with wonderful people. The food was excellent—my vegetarian diet was handled with ease—and the trip’s overall pace felt just right: immersive yet never exhausting. My favorite day included an early morning safari, returning for lunch and a midday rest, and heading out again for an evening safari.
In college, I studied anthropology, so our visit to Oldavai Gorge brought tears to my eyes as I heard about the Leakeys and all the amazing finds in the Cradle of Humankind.
Safaris require trust, and All Wheels earned ours completely. This wasn’t just a vacation, but a meaningful experience that will stay with me for a long time. We have committed to returning, as we have fallen in love with the people, the geography, the flora, and the fauna. For a life-changing experience, a safari is well worth it. And All Wheels made the experience even better. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your travels.

Very bad business manager Booked & paid in full but he did not pay = delays & no Hot Balloon ride
Booked and paid in advance from Australia All Wheels did not pay permits resulting in many delays.
We paid for Hot Air Balloon ride in advance in full but Edward did not pay and therefore we did not achieve our dream of floating over the Serengeti.
Booked in advance and paid in full for day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro, again Edward delayed payment which delayed our departure time which meant a shorter hike time, again another disappointment.
Edward delayed supplying our refund for the Hot Air Balloon ride with broken promises delays and little apology. We only received our refund when we advised we were contacting Tourism Police.
Although all his local agents were exemplary Edward from All Wheels was very unprofessional and tainted our Tanzanian holiday.
