Wow, wow, wow! I just finished a 10-day Micato Safari to Kenya and Tanzania and it was over-the-top perfect. Our safari guide, George, made sure that no detail was left to chance. Everything ran on time (which is not usual for a group). Our camps and hotels were top notch - hard to pick just one but Hemingway's in Nairobi and the Elewana Sand River Masai Mara camp were probably my favorites. Of course, no animal sightings are guaranteed - but we saw all of the Big 5 - not just once but over and over again. I happen to love birds and was not expecting to see so many different (and beautiful) species. That was due to the skill of our safari vehicle drivers expertise (and very sharp eyes). Every day it was clear as to the reasons Micato is rated #1 by Travel & Leisure (which was one of the reasons we chose Micato). - other safari groups had box lunches while we had a beautiful table under a tent with a chef grilling our lunch! I can't wait to go back!

Our family of 6 just got back from our Micato Safari in Kenya. The care and service we received from the second we got off the plane in Nairobi, to the second we got back on the plane to head home, our Micato Guide was with us every step of the way. Micato made sure we went without nothing the entire trip. Booking through Micato made the trip of a life time seamless and perfect. Thank you Micato.

Well, what can I say about my 2024 safari adventure with MICATO? My trip leaves me speechless, breathless !! End to end professionalism and impeccable logistics even during times of unrest was not something that ruffled the feathers of Team MICATO. Our guide Bwana Johnson, son of John, with his infectious personality made me feel like I was the only one on safari with him and his fantastic team Jackie, Simba etc. etc. Such a talented group of individuals providing excellent hospitality throughout my journey, and making it look so easy. Every day was so memorable, so overwhelming at times that many months later I am still processing my experience. So many surprises and such lovely people. Asante Sana

I cannot say enough about my experience with Micato Safari. I just returned from traveling with a fantastic group of women where Micato took care of us at every turn. Our delightful days were filled with moments of surprises that seemed to wait around every corner. My journey to Kenya and Tanzania is one that will stay with me forever, as will the entire Micato family that cared for us from the beginning of our adventure in the States to our ground crew of Jackie, George and the most amazing driver/guides....until next time, my friends.

Micato Safaris are by far the very best Luxury experience- The attention to detail and fine tuned itinerary is like no other. My experience was beyond a 10 and the staff is top notch with the best anticipatory skills knowledge and overall service I have ever experienced-

I recently did the Grand Safari Tour with Micato. To put things into perspective, I have just returned from my 36th trip to Vietnam and China. I am a very experienced traveler. I have visited 52 different countries. The Micato Grand Safari was, without doubt, the best trip of my life!!! I can’t say enough about Miicato’s program, attention to detail, and overall class. I researched other tour companies and happily chose Micato! From the 5 Star “Camps” to the incredible food and drink provided, to the absolutely amazingly knowledgeable tour director and local guides!!! Everything was amazing. The itinerary kept us busy, but that is why we were there!!
A great example is when we were on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater. Probably the most densely populated Game Area in Africa. There had to be forty other tour companies in the Crater that day. At lunch time, all of those tour companies were serving box lunches on crowded picnic tables bunched together around the rest room. Meanwhile, the two Micato Tours were served a Full Spread Buffet Lunch with a Full Bar. We had lunch under large wedding type tents with white table cloth covered tables, silver service, and fresh cut flowers with no other groups in sight. Plus a full group of servers. They even bought “Water Closets” so we didn’t have to use the public facilities. That exemplifies the Micato difference. Everything is first class. If anyone can afford it, there is no other Safari operator at their level.
I would add that the accommodations are all 5 Star. Their choice of “Camps” can only be called Spectacular. The Crater Rim Lodge Room and Dining Room were the most unique and eclectic places I have ever been in the world!!
Some additional Points:
*The Itinerary was perfect!! Busy but we saw a lot. Each of the 5 Five “Camps” were small and unique – except The Serengeti Four Seasons, which was a welcome different style.
*The Tour guide accompanied us all the time and everywhere, We were never left on our own. When we realized we had forgotten to get Yellow Fever Cards to enter Tanzania, he was able to procure some. The local guides were fun and knowledgeable!!
* The Food and Drink was a great blend of Western Cuisine blended with Local Dishes. The local Beers were incredible.
* Before the Trip, we received lots of fun and necessary things for our trip. At every Camp and almost everyday, we received in our room a complimentary souvenir pertinent to that locale.
* I have replacement knees and very bad Neuropathy in my feet making it difficult for me to walk on uneven surfaces and navigate steps without handrails. I was never unable to participate in an event including flights in the 12 passenger planes. My mobility issues were never a problem.
* At 66 years old I was able to witness the sunrise over the Serengeti from a Hot Air Balloon!!
