My safari with Micato was truly one of the most extraordinary travel experiences of my life. Every detail was flawlessly planned, allowing me to be fully present and immersed in the experience rather than worrying about logistics.
What made this trip exceptional, however, was the people. Our Safari Director and the entire team on the ground were warm, knowledgeable, incredibly attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing their countries with us. They didn't just help us see Africa—they helped us experience it. Their expertise, kindness, and ability to anticipate every need made us feel completely cared for from beginning to end.
There were countless unforgettable moments—from breathtaking wildlife encounters to spectacular sunrises and sunsets—but what has stayed with me most is the connection I felt with the people. The warmth, generosity, and joy of everyone we met created memories that will remain with me forever.
One of the things I appreciated most was how seamlessly everything came together. Every lodge, every transfer, every game drive, and every surprise felt thoughtfully curated. It was clear that Micato's commitment to excellence extends far beyond luxury—it is about creating experiences that are deeply personal and meaningful.
If you're considering an African safari, I cannot recommend Micato highly enough. They exceeded every expectation and created a journey that changed the way I see the world. It wasn't simply a vacation—it was an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life.

We cannot sing Micato's praises enough! We just returned from an East African safari with them and it was absolutely incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. The attention to detail was off the charts and everything was truly amazing. And our Safari Director, Philip, was just the best- we learned so much from him and he was just so easy to be around- we were very grateful he was on our journey with us and will never forget him (we hope, someday, that we might be able to travel with Micato again and would absolutely ask for Philip again if we do).
Thank you, Micato, for making our trip a once in a lifetime experience!

Trip of a lifetime! Everything was fantastic, every detail accounted for. It lives up to the billing and the price tag!

From our arrival at Nairobe International Airport until our departure 12 days later Micato took care of every detail with outstanding care and attention to detail. All accommodations were top drawer, as were the in-country transportation arrangements. One of the most appreciated features about this trip was the wonderful personal attention provided by all of your staff, but most particularly your Safari Director who led us throughout the entire safari. In addition to being supremely knowledgeable, he was most attentive to each of us , providing special celebrations, meals in the bush, accommodating all our quirks and disruptions and keeping us aware of the upcoming events so we were never surprised. It was wonderful to have him as Shepard for the entire time in country.
If we are able to return to Africa for another Safari, we will certainly do so through Micato.

We recently returned from a 2-week safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and our experience was nothing short of spectacular. Literally every detail was meticulously planned, with a few delightful surprises along the way. The resorts were top notch, and the food was amazing, but what made the trip so incredibly special was the Micato staff. The care and effort they put into making this the trip of a lifetime was just astounding. Our lives have been changed for the better because of the people we connected with. Oh, and the safari/wildlife experience - AMAZING. Highly recommend Micato!

Micato is absolutely the best, from start to finish. Their people are dedicated and enthusiastic about making sure your safari experience is everything you hoped for, and they work hard to anticipate your needs throughout the trip. They greet you at the airport and when you arrive at the hotel, they have a concierge that is there to help you with everything, including things you may have forgotten or left at home. Ours was named Jackie and she was exceptional! They have a Safari Director who accompanies you throughout the trip (ours was named Kennedy) and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. We were a family of seven (3 generations) and he got to know each person in our group and made sure we all got to see and do the things we were interested in. He guided us through each airport and bush flight so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We had a couple of special occasions we were celebrating (a birthday and a high school graduation) and the Micato team made those celebrations something we will all remember for a lifetime! The food was outstanding, the lodges and tent camp were top notch, and the service was exceptional at every location! We started using the phrase "the Micato difference" to describe all the little things they do to elevate the experience. The groups are smaller than other operators and having a safari director, and a concierge, and knowledgeable drivers to assist us throughout the trip makes a big difference. We saw so many animals, and we also saw the great work Micato does at AmericaShare and the Harambee Center to support and educate the youth of Kenya. They even have helpers inside the airport so when you are leaving, there is someone to escort you through the security checkpoints and help you find your gate. I highly recommend Micato for a safari experience that is above and beyond what you will find anywhere else. This is truly a luxury safari experience and it was a perfect trip for our family to share together and create memories for a lifetime. Thank you Micato!!!
