It has been 6 months since our Micato Safari. It would have been very easy to write a positive review when we returned as everything that we experienced was fresh and new. Now that some time has passed, I can truly say that our Micato Adventure was the absolute best travel experience we have enjoyed in 40 years of traveling the world! If our best trip ever was a perfect 10, our Micato Safari was a 25! When you continue to reminisce about it on a regular basis, talk about it often to friends, share pictures and stories with strangers you meet, see pictures and immediately smile, you know you have done something extremely special and meaningful. I know the memories we made during our safari will be with us for a lifetime and will always be among our most cherished.
The level of service provided by Micato is on a level all its own. They take care of everything for you so you can immerse yourself 100% into the beauty and culture that surrounds you. Our Tour Director, Bless, went above and beyond. I can’t tell you how many times we said, “no one does that,” but he always did. Every Micato staff member (probably a better term would be “family member” because every one of them felt that they were part of a family) we encountered was kind, generous, professional, service-oriented, and had a wonderful sense of humor. They are all incredible humans who love where they are from and love sharing it with the rest of the world.
As much as you go to Africa to see animals in their native environment, we were moved by the philanthropy that Micato participates in that community. Bravo!!! Knowing that for each guest on safari, a child was sent to school was a huge plus.
As for the safari itself, it was beyond anything we could have imagined. I remember Bless asking me what the one thing was that I really wanted to see. I told him “A big cat in a tree or a big cat with cubs.” I saw both within an hour of each other. I believe I cried a little because it was so beautiful and moving. I could go on for pages but there are probably not enough words to describe what we saw and felt.
Asante Sana, Micato! This was our trip of a lifetime, but I am hoping that will not be a true statement for long. We hope our NEXT Micato Safari will be our new trip of a lifetime!
