Our Story
Since 2010, we've been sharing the magic of Tanzania with travelers from around the world. What started as one guide's passion has grown into a family of experts dedicated to creating unforgettable African adventures.
From Passion to Purpose
ODA Tours was born from a deep love for Tanzania's incredible wildlife and landscapes. Our founder, Oscar, grew up in the shadow of Kilimanjaro and spent his youth exploring the Serengeti's vast plains. What began as guiding friends and family through the bush has grown into a full-service safari company. Today, we're proud to have a team of over 50 experienced guides, drivers, and support staff who share our passion. We believe that travel should be transformative—not just for our guests, but for the communities and ecosystems we visit. That's why sustainability and responsible tourism are at the heart of everything we do.
