PIONEERING ADVENTURE TRAVEL SINCE 1969

MT Sobek: Active Safaris & Treks

The adventure company that pioneered commercial rafting and trekking worldwide. Step out of the jeep and explore Africa on foot—walking safaris, Kilimanjaro summits, and gorilla tracking with master wilderness guides.

STEP BEYOND THE VEHICLE

Experience Africa with Dirt on Your Boots

Founded in 1969, Mountain Travel Sobek created the adventure travel industry. While conventional safaris spend long hours sitting inside enclosed 4x4 vehicles, MT Sobek believes the most transformative way to connect with wild nature is on foot.

Track lions and elephants with armed scout rangers on a multi-day walking safari through Zambia's remote South Luangwa National Park, climb Mount Kilimanjaro along scenic routes with a 98% summit success rate, or trek the mist-shrouded Virunga volcanoes to spend an unforgettable hour sitting with mountain gorillas.

“When you walk through the bush on foot, your senses awaken. You smell the wild sage, hear the alarm calls of oxpeckers, and truly understand the pulse of Africa.”
