If you're looking for an unforgettable wildlife adventure, Micato Safari delivers in every way. From the moment we started on our journey, it was clear that we were in the hands of professionals who genuinely care about both their clients and the environment. Our guide, Mr. Brown was extremely knowledgeable, not only about the animals but also about the ecosystem as a whole. He was able to answer every question and tailored the experience to match our interests, ensuring that each day felt unique.
The accommodations were exceptional. Even in the middle of the wilderness, we enjoyed comfortable lodgings that didn’t take away from the raw beauty of the surroundings. The tents were luxurious, clean, and offered a genuine connection to nature while still providing modern comforts.
The safari itself was the highlight. We were lucky enough to spot four of the "Big Five" on several occasions, and Mr Brown and the drivers were adept at getting us into great viewing positions without disturbing the animals. What stood out was the respect for wildlife; there was no sense of rush or intrusion, just an authentic immersion into the natural world.
Dining was another pleasant surprise—delicious meals with a variety of options.
Overall, Micato Safari combines adventure, comfort, and sustainability in a way that makes for an extraordinary travel experience. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time safari-goer, this experience will leave you with memories to last a lifetime. It was a “magical” experience. Highly recommended!

I went on a three week safari with my sister through Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania. Micato provided meticulous planning, help through customs, amazingly unique accommodations, and very knowledgeable guides and drivers. It was a life changing experience and the beauty and majesty of the animals was surreal. Every Micato employee was courteous, friendly, and extremely helpful. I can’t say enough great things about this amazing tour company. I want to give a special shout out to Chelsea our New York contact, Sydney Schellinger our travel agent, Safari and Robert, our driver guides, and Philip, our tour organizer. Absolutely the best vacation of my life!

Our expectations for an amazing experience of a lifetime were exceeded by Micato Safaris! Every detail was taken care of for us so that my husband and I were able to relax and simply enjoy the safari adventure of a lifetime in Kenya and Tanzania. Our guide, Henry, was so friendly and knowledgeable, and made sure we were thoroughly enjoying our safari. We were amazed at how many animals and birds we saw each game drive and how close we were able to get to them. Every Micato staff person, concierge, drivers, office staff, were so friendly and helpful, and answered every question and handled every request quickly. I was even able to let go of my fears of small planes and heights because there were no details to worry about, I just had time to relax and enjoy myself. I could not be happier than to have booked our trip with Micato. I very highly recommend this company!

Our family spent 2 weeks on the Hemingway Safari with Micato! We had a fabulous time. All 8 of us had smiles on our faces for the entire time! Our tour guide...Papa Lew...was the best. He took care of everything and always remembered the smallest details that I had requested before we embarked on our trip to Africa. Every place we visited was special. We loved our guides. They were so knowledgeable and helpful. We learned so much about the animals and their habits and animal families!
One of our favorite experiences was pulling up to our private BBQ picnic lunch in the crater. The Micato group arranged this beautiful picnic with the staff from the Melia hotel. Each family in our group had their own tables set up and we had a canvas awning protecting us from the heat. There was a bar set up with liquor as well as fresh juices, veggies, meats and even lobster! Of course there were plenty of desserts too. There were even baboons watching us from the trees! It was a very special lunch.
Micato made sure to celebrate birthdays in the month we were there as well as the other families on the trip. I can't say enough about this group. Everyone we encountered were so lovely and helpful. The camps we stayed at were extraordinary! The "tents" did not feel like tents once you were in them. They were huge! We had a sitting room in 3 of the 4 camps we stayed in and the bathrooms were incredible!
The reason we went was to see the animals in their natural habitat living their lives as they were supposed to! That exceeded our expectations. We are spoiled forever and hope to one day use Micato again when we travel to Africa or India.
Our cheer for Papa Lew! Papa Lew! Papa Lew!
We all miss him...his enthusiasm is infectious!
thank you so much for everything,
Ellen
Shout out to Samuel, Joseph and Alfons! There were many other guides that were awesome but these were the ones that my husband and I
had the pleasure of being in their jeeps!
Shout out to Virginia who held down the fort in Nairobi and was always there to answer our questions!

Micato delivered an adventure of a lifetime!! We decided on taking our African Safari with Micato for my wife's birthday after extensive research. We narrowed it down to 3 different companies, but ultimately decided on the best in the business. Micato far exceeded all of our expectations! They went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one. Their attention to detail is second to none and was thoughtful planned. Even when a potential issue arised, Micato handled it and turned it into a positive. One example of this is, I'm 6'4" and another guest was 6'7", Micato called ahead to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater to have the front row of seats removed from the safari jeep! If you are deciding on a luxury safari experience look no further, you won't be disappointed!!

My mom and I have used Micato for 2 trips, the Tanzania Spectacular in 2022 and the Palaces of India earlier this year, 2024. Both trips have exceeded any expectations we had going into it. Micato is amazing at planning and cultivating a beautiful experience with knowledgeable guides and gorgeous accommodations. We love working with Marion Miller in helping plan the next venture to South Africa to see Cape Town and hopefully jet up to Victoria Falls, along with everything else the continent and Micato has to offer.
