Micato Safaris Google Reviews

Africa Trip 2024: Our recent safari trip to Kenya and Tanzania organized by Micato was as exceptional as the one they arranged for us to India last year. Our Safari Specialist, Marion Miller, put together a wonderful itinerary that proved to be beyond our expectations. She was always available to us and the attention to detail, accommodations, and personal care she and Micato provided made the trip truly special. We were met by Micato immediately upon arrival in Nairobi, whisked through immigration and quickly off to the splendid “Norfolk” Hotel. Here we met the Micato staff as well as our personal guide for the trip, Tony Kamau. They were all friendly and delightful. Tony proved to be marvelous. He is a wealth of African knowledge, whether it be concerning animals, plants, history or African culture. Many times, we thought he could easily be a professor at a university. After a couple of days in Nairobi watching young elephants being bottle-fed at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, feeding Giraffes at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Kenya, and visiting the historic Karen Blixen home, we began our journey in earnest. Micato arranged multiple flights between sights to optimize our time. The flights were generally all on time and Tony made sure that our luggage and personal effects were always taken care of. He flew with us each time and accompanied us for every drive making sure things went smoothly. It would be difficult to pick our favorite accommodation or safari experience during the two weeks. Each was special and thanks to Marion, were tailored for us. We got to see the “Big 5” along with many, many other special animals and birds. Tony had never ending stories and facts for every animal, bird, tree, or landscape we came across. He loved our numerous questions and liked to test us on our newly acquired knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and were sorry to say goodbye when we left. The food during the two weeks was always very well prepared and delicious. Especially memorable were the surprise meals prepared for us in the “Bush”. With our small group, Tony had the flexibility to adjust the schedule based on the weather and local conditions. Our memorable hot air balloon ride was moved up a day to take advantage of better winds for example. Overall, however, we had very good weather for the entire trip. We could not have imagined a more enjoyable experience than that provided by Micato. Our sincere thanks to all involved especially Marion Miller and Tony Kamau.
