This Safari was the trip of a life time. Micato worked very hard to make seeing the great migration possible. Not only crossing the Mara by the thousands but parading by our campsite in a never ending line. Many thanks to our guide Johnson who saw to our every need and is a top notch spotter. All of the game drives were very productive. Local guides were very knowledgeable and always found interesting encounters. Close encounters with the big five, large prides of Lions, as well as all the other cast of characters. Our other goal of learning about the culture was taken care of by visiting and interacting with three tribes which was fascinating. We stayed in top luxury resorts where the food and service were excellent.The trip ended on a high with a visit to Rwanda which is a must see country and of course a trek to see the Gorillas. Thanks to Micato for setting us up with a trek suitable for two senior citizens resulting in a great encounter.

Our safari with Micato was far better than we could have dreamed possible.
The Micato people were all knowledgeable, attentive to all our needs, and delightful to be with. Our lodgings were beautiful and fully equipped,
Africa is like no other place we have ever been which makes it so special. If you are contemplating a safari, go with the best…go with Micato

Thanks to Micato, this was a flawless adventure!
We were a group of 9 women ages ranging from 58-88 traveling to India for the two week Magic of India tour. We all were extremely impressed by the level of service from the entire Micato staff, the local support staff and hotel personnel. The attention to detail by Micato is amazing. From the welcome packets and packing advice, including a safari duffle bag to the gifts along the way we felt very well prepared. Any need we might have was met and careful thought was put into making the schedule, transportation, check in and dining as easy and as comfortable as possible. From whisking us through the airports to arranging decent comfort stops, Micato thought of everything!
The hotel accommodations were the among the finest I ever experienced, each one lovely, unique and authentic. My only regret is not having a bit more time to enjoy all of their facilities. The food in every location was outstanding as well, and I enjoyed the other dining experiences off the hotel properties too, particularly the cooking demonstration outside of Udaipur and the Dehli ethnic dinner. We never had to worry about what we were eating and no one on our trip got sick.
I was particularly impressed by the special local experiences planned for us that gave us more insight into the culture—for example, the rickshaw ride through Delhi, the visit to the Sikh temple where we could help with food service and the visit to the school and farmer’s home. I can’t imagine other tours of this region in India offer those opportunities!
We all really appreciated Micato's practice of having every expense covered up front so we didn't have to worry about tipping, airport fees, etc and having to convert the correct amount of rupees. There is definitely a value to that!
Finally, and most importantly, we were so thrilled to have Hem Singh as our guide——he MADE the trip! His extensive knowledge, good humor, patience and thoughtfulness was greatly admired by the entire group. He correctly anticipated each activity so we were prepared and everything went so smoothly. His kindness and generosity in covering some incidental expenses was also a bonus.
I have shared this positive experience with family and friends and so thought it appropriate to post it here as well

I've just returned from the "Soul of India" tour and I'm still trying to capture the experience in words. Here's what I came up with:
For me, there are now only two types of travel in the world: 1) Micato and 2) NOT Micato.
I had never heard of Micato before this trip. And now I'll be hard-pressed to use anyone else.
The Micato experience lies at the intersection of luxury and comfort. They understand the unconscious stresses of travel -- and simply remove them. Quietly but unquestionably. Everything is first-class and stress-free.
Micato employs what I call "anticipatory service" which is the ability to know what you want BEFORE you do. This not only relieves stress, it leaves room for you to be delighted. That's rare.
The entire Micato operation is seamless, from initial contact to my post-arrival home. In this day and age, where everything is so sloppy and slapdash, it's good to know there are people out there who still really care about doing a great job.
The tour itinerary was comprehensive, interesting and fun. If you've been saving for the "trip of a lifetime," this is it.
Our guide, Mr. Puneet Dan, was an absolute gem. His charm and bonhomie was so refreshing to this beaten down soul. He was absolutely pivotal to our experience so if he is your guide, you are in for an extra-special treat.
I've never written such a long review in my life but I believe when people do great work, they deserve to be acknowledged and celebrated.
Thank You Micato.
Until we meet again!
