The MT Sobek Experience

Choose from our range of incredible adventures in Africa, all expertly guided and carefully designed for an unforgettable vacation.

A journey through Africa is a pilgrimage to the source, with adventures for every type of traveler! MT Sobek has been pioneering active African safaris since the early 1970s, when we scouted the first walking safari in the Serengeti and led a camel-trekking expedition in the Sahara. In the more than 55 years since then, we’ve cultivated relationships with Africa’s finest guides, private reserves, conservation foundations, and luxurious camps and eco-lodges. Whether you choose such classic safari destinations as Tanzania or South Africa, primate explorations in Uganda or Rwanda, or a different side of Africa in Ghana, Morocco, Egypt, or Ethiopia, we take you far from the crowds for rare encounters with Africa’s incredible wildlife and indigenous cultures. New for 2026, look out for our private Zimbabwe Hwange & Victoria Falls adventure which is an outstanding experience for two guests or a larger private group!

On Safari

Our African safari adventures in Botswana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa 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.

From camel treks across the Sahara to boat trips down the mighty Nile, experience Africa in a unique and unforgettable way. Those looking for a bucket-list challenge will enjoy our Tanzania Climb Kilimanjaro trek to the “Roof of Africa” at 19,340 feet.

Meet Our Africa Expert

Nicole Russo

I’ve been immersed in adventure and eco-travel for nearly 30 years, with a deep focus on Africa. I studied wildlife management in Kenya, lived in Tanzania for several years, and have explored much of sub-Saharan Africa—by vehicle, on foot, and even by canoe. I’ve climbed Kilimanjaro, hiked remote trails, and spent time getting to know the incredible people and wildlife that make Africa so special. I often call the continent “the home of my heart.”

Whether you’re looking for a tailor-made private experience or are curious about one of our small group safaris with MT Sobek, I’d be delighted to guide you through your options.
