Micato Safaris is the best of the best. They think of everything - they go out of their way to care for their clients in every possible way, and they are a joy to work with.

Where to begin?
Bless, our personal Micato Safari director/ leader, was with us from beginning to end. After almost two weeks in Tanzania, with their final hug goodbye, our 10 1/2 year old grandson wiped away tears. Bless even watched through the window as we were making our way through security when we were leaving Tanzania at JRO. Our grandson and Bless fist-bumped one last time through the glass. This was more than a safari, our Micato Safari was life-changing especially for this pre-teen.
Kips, our main driver, also developed a wonderful relationship with our grandson, who is all about vehicles. Additionally, we all enjoyed Kips’ sense of humor and catchy phrases (POP - pile of poop, Wartlets baby warthogs). Kips traversed a hill (small mountain) and brought us up to the baboons for a sundowner! What an experience that was for us all!
From the beginning, Carson, our Micato specialist “held our hand” throughout the process and never let go until she ably passed us to the Micato team in Tanzania. We can’t thank them enough for their expertise and thoughtfulness.

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!

I just enjoyed my second fabulous safari with Micato. They truly take care of everything that you could think of - including binoculars for each traveler in the safari vehicle!
The guides are extremely knowledgeable about the animals and everything you're seeing. The same guide stays with you for the entire trip and quietly sees to your comfort behind the scenes.
The drivers (in addition to being quite knowledgeable about what you're seeing) are great at getting you to where you need to be to experience the area at its best. I'm still reliving the experience of the wildebeest crossing the Mara River with a big smile on my face. I'm not sure how our driver got us to the perfect location to witness this amazing event, but he did it ahead of many other vehicles - very impressive and fun!
I feel safe and completely taken care of when traveling with Micato. And the icing on the cake - the tips are included so there's no worrying about the proper amount to tip or having the correct type of money!
I find myself contemplating what else I might like to see with Micato ...

Most incredibly experience! We had the best honeymoon of our lives. Micato made everything perfect. Our guide Emmanuel and driver Adam were the best of the best. They are so knowledgeable and made the entire trip perfect. Thank you!
