My husband and I traveled for 3 weeks in India with Micato Safaris and it was fabulous! We worked with a wonderful planner to design a custom trip for my 60th birthday. The hotels, excursions and pace was perfect. I received extremely thoughtful, and unexpected, birthday surprises throughout the trip, which made it even more special.
Our guide and driver were professional, but great fun to share time with! They took very good care of us. Changes were made on the fly as needed, without any problems, a forgotten watch charger and a prescription were delivered to our room in another city, when we accidently left them behind.
At the end of the trip, Micato packaged up all our purchases, as well as the beautiful items they gifted us with on the trip, and had them shipped to our home, so we could travel on to our next location, without all the extra baggage. In the future, when I travel to an area that is serviced by Micato, I will absolutely choose to travel with them again!

Our recent safari with Micato in Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our incredible guides, Denis and Grace. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania made our experience truly unforgettable.
Our journey took us to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, where we were awestruck by the sheer diversity of wildlife. Denis and Arnold expertly navigated the terrain, ensuring we had front-row seats to witness the majestic lions, graceful elephants, and even a rare sighting of the elusive rhino. Their keen eyes and deep understanding of animal behavior made every moment in the crater a thrilling adventure.
The Serengeti was another highlight of our trip. We were fortunate to witness the Great Migration, a spectacle that left us speechless. Denis and Grace's insights into the migration patterns and their ability to position us perfectly for viewing the massive herds of wildebeest and zebras were remarkable. We also had the privilege of seeing cheetahs and multiple prides of lions lounging in the golden savannah.
Throughout our safari, the Micato team's hospitality and attention to detail were impeccable. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, making us feel like part of the Micato family. Their stories, humor, and warmth added a personal touch that made our safari experience even more special.
In summary, our Micato safari in Tanzania was a dream come true, thanks to the exceptional guidance of Denis, Grace and Arnold. We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories that will last a lifetime. If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further than Micato – you won't be disappointed!

This past month, February 2025, my daughter and I joined a small group of former Micato Safari travelers and toured India. This was my fourth trip to India and it was by far the best tour I have ever taken. The itinerary was called ‘Soul of India’ and it was true to its name. We met in Delhi and crisscrossed the continent over the next three weeks. Our hotels (Oberoi and TAJ) were exceptional as was our seasoned guide, Puneet Dan. With over twenty-five years of experience, he was a walking encyclopedia. As chance would have it, India was celebrating the largest of its festivals, Maha Kumbh Mele, with about four million people gathering to bathe and celebrate in the Ganges. The crowds teemed with excitement from Agra to Veranasi and we were in the center of it all. We slipped up to Ranthambore National Park to meet India’s famous tigers and watch Riddli’s three cubs learning how to hunt. In Jaipur the lure of jewelry caught our attention and the Gem Palace did not disappoint. If custom jewelry was not your penchant there were beautiful hand-printed fabrics and silks. Mumbai was the last city on the group itinerary. It was a special contrast to life in the Northern part of the country with its old Gothic buildings and Tiffin system. We had arranged an extension to the State of Kerala (after our new found friends headed home). There we floated on a massive lake in a houseboat; toured Fort Cochin one of earliest settlements in the South, and enjoyed our hotels’ spa.

Now that we have traveled with Micato, it became abundantly clear in every aspect why Micato is ranked #1 for safari tours. Phillip, our Tour Director, was top shelf - unbelievably knowledgeable, remarkably personal & professional, fun to be around, handles every need no matter how big or small, made our journey so seamless & effortless, including the process of each location change. The entire Micato team we met on the tour reflected the same high quality of performance. I don’t know what they could improve. We fell in with the people & animals of Kenya & Tanzania as well as the spectacular & ever changing topography & vegetation. At the end of the trip, all 6 of us felt that our expectations were far exceeded.

A fantastic experience! Micato had thought of everything from start to finish. We loved every second of our trip to Tanzania and Micato made everything just that more special. Can’t recommend enough.

Our Micato Indian trip was truly "the trip of a lifetime". From the moment we landed to departure we were guide and accompanied by Rajesh. He gave us a appreciation for all the well known sites and also exposed us to some of the "real" Indian. Luxury accommodations second to none, great food, private and expedited access to sites made our visit completely stress free and magical. Could not recommend more enthusiastically!
