This was a transformational experience!
Though our first stop in Africa was Kenya, the trip and its planning began months earlier. Tanner Knorr was meticulous in his explanations of alternatives and his ability to explain OSAs approach both to touring of and investment in the land. We had a carefully detailed itinerary and were fully prepared long before we boarded a flight.
Our trip started in Kenya - focused on the elephant and rhino orphanage and the giraffe hotel. OSA arranged the entire experience from local guide to accommodations. The close-up experience with the animals, including the short introduction to Kenya and Nairobi were superb. We then went on to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and other locations along Northern Tanzania. OSA arranged all aspects of the trip and it was unforgettable. We saw all the animals for sure, and our guide, Hosea, was as knowledgable and personable as they come. However, our visits with a number of the local tribes juxtaposed unbelievable an cultural experience and education into life in Tanzania with the majesty of safari. Meeting the locals put into stark and relative perspective the differences between Africa and and other places in the world. In particular, OSAs involvement in improving life for 3 tribes by developing access to clean drinking water was impressive. The interactions with local people, from leaders to chiefs to ordinary people provided a perfect complement to the safari adventures. We ended our trip in Zanzibar, which again, was fully orchestrated by OSA. The contrast between the predominant muslim island to the mainland was profound. Moreover, the Zanzibar resorts compete with any in the world - and are so unexpected given the simplicity of the surrounding communities. All considered, this was an impressive trip, all thanks to the wonderful planning and execution of OSA. We are all eager to go back and explore other regions of the country. If you are going to Africa, we highly recommend you consult with OSA!

Tanzania Adventures!
Off Season Adventures (OSA) and Tanner Knorr created a wonderful Tanzanian tour which filled me with an immense appreciation for this unique country. Tanner arranged every aspect of this memorable adventure for my son and me. We explored five Tanzanian parks, which Tanner recommended, including the glorious and historical Serengeti National Park. The scenes overwhelmed me with a variety of wild animals, including cheetahs, leopards, elephants, the rare rhinos and lions, to name just a few.
Our seasoned and professional guide, Hosea, was an invaluable source for locating and describing not only the plethora of animals, but also sharing his wealth of knowledge about the local culture and unique landscapes. My vacation was relaxing due to the clean and well-managed accommodations. My son and I would frequently observe colorful birds and picturesque sunrises from our room’s windows or balcony. The unique food in Tanzania was delicious and healthy, including the nourishing lunches I boxed up in the morning at each accommodation. The local people, the Maasai, were very polite, caring, and friendly. Some of the other tribes we visited lived off the land, some were farmers, and a few were tool and metal craftsmen. Tanner provided a detailed description of what we would experience during each excursion so we could choose exactly what we wanted to do during the trip.
I would highly recommend Off Season Adventures (OSA) to anyone who is eager to explore Tanzania to its fullest. This trip opened my senses and created unbelievable memories in this natural setting. I can’t wait to book another OSA tour to Tanzania!
