I went on on a small-group tour in May 2024 through Botswana (3 different bush camps), and Victoria Falls, with an additional few days in Cape Town. Simply put, it exceeded my expectations in virtually every regard. Thoughtfully chosen locations, camps and hotels; very knowledgeable guides; generally excellent food and every detail planned in advance. The small group also permitted the guides to easily handle last-minute changes in the schedule in response to weather or client requests (such as adding a private tour at a Cape Town museum). I generally don't post reviews, but the Micato experience was so wonderful that I wanted to provide these comments.

I recently returned from my fourth (!) safari with Micato.
Yes, they have won me over.
This one was to Southern Africa.
After luxuriating for two nights at the Saxon in Johannesburg, where we visited the very moving Apartheid Museum, we headed off on safari.
We stayed at Phinda Forest Lodge and Ulusaba Safari Lodge in South Africa. Two different environments, with excellent trackers and guides, and up-close-and-personal game experiences.
Then off to Victoria Falls and to Verney's Camp, both in Zimbabwe. Verney's was remote and peaceful, with scores of elephants visiting the watering hole. The hosts and staff, and the Zimbabwean people in general, made it impossible for me to *not* fall in love with them.
Finally, on to Sossusvlei Desert Lodge in Namibia. It's located in the oldest desert on the planet, at the edge of Africa's only Dark Sky Reserve, just about as remote as one can get,. It does not disappoint. Helicopter sightseeing and ballooning were beyond stunning. The sustainable lodge pampered us, while remaining eco-friendly. Oh, I fell in love with the Namibian people as well.
Micato takes care of all the details, overlooking nothing, so you can bathe in the splendor.
Safari changes you.
Oh, and I have already booked my next trip for next year.

Everything about Micato was beyond wonderful! Our guide was superb. The logistics were seamless. Travel within southern Africa was easy. And our every need was met. I highly recommend Micato to anyone looking to go on safari or travel in Africa!

Four of us (all women) just returned from the best trip ever! We spent two weeks in Botswana, Victoria Falls, and Cape Town, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Our guide, Gavin, was incredibly attentive, and we never so much as touched a bag or paid a bill. When Micato says “everything is included “, they mean it.
Our safaris were amazing, as were our safari guides, and we loved all three camps.
I can’t imagine going to Africa any other way!!

We recently returned from a Micato Safari in Kenya and Tanzania. We had dreamed for years of visiting this part of Africa on safari, and Micato pulled out all the stops to make it as special and memorable as possible. We saw amazing animals and stunning scenery at every turn, all while receiving such a high level of personal service and warm hospitality. I highly recommend Micato for your safari dreams!
