Micato, led by our guide, Rodgers, exceeded our expectations in every way and then some. Yes, we saw all the animals we had hoped for, but the experience transcended this wish in unexpected ways. We came away with a much deeper appreciation of not only Africa and the thousands of animals we viewed up close, but also the mystifying and wondrous ways in which nature works. But, in the end, it was the people who made the difference and elevated our experience -- Rodgers, our two drivers (Steve and Job), and the teams at each of the beautiful lodges where we stayed. Surprise after surprise made this the trip of the lifetime (as we had hoped), connecting us to all we experienced in a much deeper sense. We'll always be grateful to Rodgers and everyone at Micato.
