Exceeded expectations (that were high before we traveled with Micato to Tanzania) in every possible way, and then some.
Met our Safari Director at JRO airport and he was with us until bidding us farewell back at the airport 9 evenings later. His knowledge, his demeanor, his courtesies were impeccable.
Lodgings were perfect; staff, to a person, incredibly customer-friendly and focused, meeting our needs every step of the way.
We loved that Ms. Philbrick in the NY office suggested the option of making our Safari "private" for our 3 generation family group; this made our experiences ever so amazing and memorable, with our Safari Director, Jackson and our 2 vehicle driver-guides there for us for every game drive and overland drives.
It was indeed a trip of a lifetime, thanks to how Micato has designed the Tanzania Spectacular itinerary.

A trip of a lifetime and some special family moments to cherish forever! The Micato team is second to none and a shout out to all the amazing and talented staff at our camps who catered to our every ask! Highlights are too numerous to mention but spotting the rare Sitatunga and Pels Fishing Owl, Sundowner in Okavango channel, hyenas, lions and the elephants at Gamoti, and sunset on our final day at Machaba Camp watching a young leopard will be remembered.
Thank you Micato!!!

Our high expectations were exceeded at every destination. Our safari director Nuru is arguably the nicest person that we’ve ever met . At every lodge, as the entire staff came out to meet our group, Nuru shook every last person’s hand and thanked them sincerely for having us as their guests. They very much respected Nuru, and each lodge experience can only be described as fantastic !!! Transfers at airports were smoother than that of other travelers thanks to Micato …. Simply put , Micato has perfected the African Safari experience . One of many examples was the exquisite field lunch that we experienced in the Ngorongora Crater after a mesmerizing safari . As a tribute to how respected and appreciated Micato is to the Ngorogoro Lodge , the General Manager made a point of driving over an hour from the Lodge to visit our picnic lunch catered by his team.
The Micato experience is worth it because of the value of everything being included without any hidden charges .
The Micato support team from Bonnie, extending to our concierge Josephine and Grace, was attentive, professional, and each in their small way contributed to our experiencing a wonderful trip … Our high regard for Micato and its team was uniformly shared by everyone in our group of thirteen, almost all of which were experienced luxury travelers …
We love Micato and look forward to our next Micato experience …
PS … For older travelers like ourselves , we highly recommend coming three days early and staying at the Legendary Lodge . The experience at that small hotel was extremely relaxing , and two days of recovery with spa services allowed us to recover from jet lag and be prepared for the rigors associated with the travel and game drives of the trip. A visit that was as coordinated to the Arusha National Park was very enjoyable, and gave us the opportunity to see more giraffe than at any other park, as well as see monkeys and other animals unique to that park …
I would highly recommend that pre-safari experience while staying at the Legendary Lodge.
Please forward this to everyone at Micato … We woke up this morning missing our Micato friends, but the memories live on….
Thank You again for everything !!!!!!!

I cannot say enough about Micato - from their travel agents and correspondence and amazing guides - especially our guide Julius - and drivers and pilots and support staff and lodgings and food. The entire journey in Kenya and Tanzania (the Hemingway wing) - from the MIcato greeting at Nairobi for the beginning of our experience and returning to the airport and all of the amazing wildlife encounters and hospitality and cultural exchanges in between - was wonderful and unique and I highly encourage all to seek out Micato. I look forward to another journey with them - hopefully to India in the future.

We recently returned from a trip of a lifetime led by the Micato Safari group. 15 family members (2 families with adult children) experienced the thrills and adventures of 2 weeks on Safari in South Africa, Victoria Falls and Botswana.
I can not rave more about how great Micato was. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Johannesburg and were met by our superb guides Trevor and Michael to the time we departed each of us were overwhelmed by the kindness, professionalism, attention to detail and warmth afforded us. I'm not sure if Trevor and Michael are prepared to take on 15 new family members but the rest of us were ready to take on 2 more for sure. No stone was left unturned- from retirement celebrations (mine) to anniversary parties (daughter and son-in-law), to birthday parties (my sister) it was like being home in the bush! There was even a celebration at the Falls on the 4th of July complete with red, white and blue cupcakes and sparklers!! Micato is simply the best! A trip none of us will ever forget- Thanks Micato!!!

If you're looking to go on safari, go with MICATO. The level of customer service they describe is not hyperbole, it is a fact. Their only goal is your safety and comfort, while providing you with an exceptional African safari experience.
