Gear up, gather your allies, and get ready to answer the burning question: Where in the World are the RThe mission, should you choose to accept it: to trace the enigmatic trail left by Stephen M. Sandiego and forge friendships that will last a lifetime (or at least until your next job search). We feel like we shouldn’t have to sell mystery to you all, because this is the only MTrek that self-selects people who love adventure, clubbing, and the unknown. The infamous “Mystery Trek” is the ONLY MTrek where trekkers show up at the airport not knowing where they are going, with destinations revealed as the trip progresses.

Given that we’re literally traveling halfway around the world, we’re squeezing a lot of adventures and good times into one trip. We’ll start in Cape Town, where we’ll visit Robben Island, explore the city and its history, tour Cape Peninsula (translation: chill with penguins), and spend time in wine country. Mixed throughout the trip, get ready for outdoor adventures like trekking up Table Mountain, cage diving with great white sharks (!!!), and hiking in Blyde River Canyon (if you’ve never heard of it, Google it–it’s preeeeeeetty extraordinary). Oh, and did we mention safaris? How does four, half-day safaris sound? IN KRUGER NATIONAL PARK NO LESS. THEY FILMED PLANET EARTH THERE. That means elephants, giraffes, cape buffalo, rhinos, lions, leopards, zebras, a zillion other animals, and maybe even cheetahs. We had the option of choosing more convenient safaris, which would have traded off a degree of wildlife breadth and abundance, and we said no. We’re sending it.
While this trek is active, we’ve designed it to also be inclusive and balance structured activities with unstructured time. You do not need to be in peak physical condition, but heads up, we’re gonna sweat on the hikes. Separately, this is not a party-for-a-week-straight trek. Yes, we will enjoy the nightlife in Cape Town, but we’re not rushing to help you check the “I danced on a table during business school” checkbox–don’t fret, you’ll have ample opportunities over two years. Instead, we’re all about good vibes, and this trek’s vibes will be off the charts.
