Wildlife & Safari Adventure Tours

Discover a world of wonder on our award-winning wildlife and safari vacations. From epic African safaris to incredible adventure cruising tours in the Galapagos, we always travel in small groups to get you closer to wildlife.

The MT Sobek Experience

In 1971 we scouted the first-ever walking safari in East Africa and first explored the wildlife-rich Galapagos Islands in 1970. Our routes venture off the beaten path and explore less-hurried trails. From one-of-a-kind safaris in Tanzania and Botswana to epic encounters with Bengal tigers in India and Nepal, MT Sobek gets you closer to wildlife than any other company—right in the heart of the wild.

Expert Guides

Our wildlife and safari adventures are led by specially trained local expert guides, who immerse you in the natural world. As well as being fun and friendly, they’ll give you an insider experience and leave you with a deep understanding of the animal life that you’ll see. Whether that’s gorillas in Uganda’s Impenetrable Forest or blue-footed boobies in the Galapagos Islands, our guides are simply the best for up-close wildlife encounters.

On Safari

Our African safari adventures in Botswana, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe ensure fantastic opportunities to see wildlife on daily game-viewing drives, boat rides, and walking safaris (depending on the itinerary you choose). From the comfort of your camp, you’ll head out into the bush–often at dawn and dusk when wildlife is most abundant. Relax back at your safari camp during the heat of the day and toast your adventures with evening sundowners.

Galapagos Adventures

Come aboard your adventure cruise through one of the most exotic places on Earth! As pioneers of small-group travel in the Galápagos, we are committed to exploring the islands in the best way possible. Small deluxe yachts and catamarans have less impact on the environment, they allow for more flexibility and more time for shore excursions. This gives you greater control of the experience and access to all the activities offered.

We choose award-winning and top-rated accommodations with excellent amenities and services, including beautifully appointed safari tents and cabins. In the Galapagos we cruise aboard comfortable and luxury small ships and catamarans with a maximum of 16 passengers.
