Africa & Middle East | Travel & Adventures

MTS has been the expert in Africa travel for 40 years with award-winning adventures spanning North, South, and East Africa. In fact, our namesake "Sobek"—Egyptian god of crocodiles—pays tribute to our heritage as the original Africa travel adventure company.
Award-winning Trips. Picture yourself tracking the scent of the Great Wildebeest Migration through the Serengeti on a classic African safari, saluting the sunrise from the summit of Kilimanjaro, riding camelback across the burnt orange Sahara, or relaxing afloat the curiously buoyant Dead Sea—Travel+Leisure named us World's Best, and we're sure you will, too.
Local Offices, Local Guides. To serve you best, we have local staff in both Tanzania & Kenya. Our locally-based experienced adventure guides ensure you get the most out of your trip—see rare wildlife, experience local customs, and explore the pages of history.
Book now! Our Africa & Middle East travel experts are available by email and phone 1-888-687-6235.

Choice Accommodations. After an inspiring day of game viewing or cultural touring, recount your tales over a gourmet feast and glass of wine. Then, slumber in a range of accommodations that match your chosen adventure—from luxury camps & upscale lodges to rustic tents set up deep in the wild.
Sterling Safety Record. Above all, the well-being of guests is our primary concern—a commitment evident in our sterling safety record throughout Africa & the Middle East.
The Summiting Experts. When it comes to Kilimanjaro, we take great care in preparing you for the journey of a lifetime. We'll advise you how to train, review any medical conditions, supply equipment checklists, and help you sort out your gear once you arrive—just in case you've forgotten anything. Our Kilimanjaro guides must pass rigorous annual certifications in high altitude first aid and rescue, so it's no wonder we have the highest summiting success rate of any company on the mountain!
