SEE MORE AFRICA
Tanzania - Kenya - Rwanda - Zambia - Botswana -
Republic of Congo
& the Central African Republic
- MTT Inc customizes private safaris for individuals and small groups, bringing to each an insider's knowledge of destinations which can only come from living in Africa and not from simply passing through. Her safaris are ideal for active travelers who seek to experience Africa in a wider context through a diverse mix of wildlife viewing, cultural encounters, and explorations on foot. There is no better way to understand Africa then to get out of a vehicle and feel it under your feet.
- Every year MTT escorts small group tours to favorite destinations which are adventurous and unique travel opportunities.
- There is no right way to go on safari. The challenge is to sort through the immense number of options. MTT's objective is to tailor-make the safari that is right for you - one which will allow you to See More Africa.
SEE ANOTHER AFRICA
- Add a hike, cultural destination or ceremony, or camping under the stars to your classic Tanzanian safari.
- Undertake Africa's longest walking safari, 12-days on foot across Kenya's Tsavo National Parks.
- Undertake Africa's newest and most adventurous wildlife experience, the western lowland gorillas and forest elephants of Central Africa's remote Nouabale-Ndoki & Dzanga-Ndoki National Parks. MTT Inc is one of the few operators which can get you there.
- Visit Zambia's Luangwa Valley, the birthplace of walking safaris, and where guiding and night safaris are among the very best in Africa.
WHY AFRICA?
- Africa is the last continent where big mammals survive, providing us the best picture of what our world used to look like. Like no continent perhaps, Africa reminds us that we are animals, and out in the wilds where the laws of forgotten nature prevail, not the brightest or the toughest either.
- Travel is first and foremost a journey of self-discovery. By experiencing how we differ from other cultures we learn most about ourselves. In this case, Africa provides one of the richest educations. We remember to be grateful for the many things we possess, while at the same time we realize what we have lost by gaining them. Even though Africa is poor there is a quality of life in its many diverse corners which is increasingly absent in our world.
BREAK AWAY FROM THE HERD!
- A safari is either an adventure or it isn't. But to begin your adventure calls for breaking away from the herd at the planning stages with someone who provides informed, independent and honest advice. It is rare that anyone returns home disappointed with their safari, but they might not be aware of what they didn't see, how much better it could have been.

- MTT provides meticulous planning and one-on-one support from the early days of safari selection, through the booking process, to your departure day for Africa, to the day you return home.
- You often hear that an African safari is an once-in-a-lifetime experience. You may consider it that too. MTT's hope is that your travels will impact you so greatly that Africa will indeed have the opportunity to welcome you again, and again.
Thank you for coming to MTT Inc.

SOLO TRAVELER ALERT!
Set Departure Safaris Tanzania 2011
These set departure, eight-day safaris are not exclusively for solo travelers but they are certainly a great option for them. Their focus is to provide guests the opportunity to walk and camp in some of the remotest parts of Serengeti National Park. You hear the complaint that the Serengeti is spoiled with too many lodges and vehicles. In fact, a great deal of the park remains true wilderness, and this is where these mobiles take you.
January 16 – 23
February 13 – 20
July 10 -17
August 14 - 21
