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!

As a Travel Agent I have to say Micato Safaris and especially Marion at Micato have been one of the best companies/people to work with in the industry. A weatlh of knowledge emails are always answered very quickly just a real pleasure to work with. My clients just returned from a trip to India with Micato and had the best vacation. Micato's first class service/attention to detail/personalized touches and outstanding tour guide made it a trip of a lifetime for them.
I would highly recommend Micato Safaris for your luxury clients.
Thank you Marion I look forward to working with you again in the near future .

My safari experience in South Africa was so much more than I ever hoped it would be, in no small measure due to Micato‘s superior services, accommodations, and amazing guides and drivers. I felt like the most important person in the world to every Micato staff member, every hotel and lodge staff member and every guide that I encountered during my 17 days in South Africa. Good humor, laughter, kindness and caring are the hallmarks of your people, truly enhancing our enjoyment at every turn.
I fell in love with Africa-from the cosmopolitan feel of Cape Town to the primal wildness of the bush, to the splendor of Victoria Falls-it was all a revelation. Most touching and enlightening was our visit to the school in a remote village. The children were eager and excited, paying rapt attention when we read them stories. It is gratifying to know that Micato supports these children and provides resources to better their education.
What surprised me the most was that I never thought I would want to return to Africa after making this long-awaited journey. But now I find myself wanting to know more and wanting to see more of this amazing continent. And if I do return, it will definitely be with Micato!

In September 2023 my wife and I safaried with her sister and our brother in law to Rwanda, Tanzania and Zanzibar. Micato arranged a private custom safari for the four of us that was beyond exceptional. The people and the animals of these regions speak for themselves and create an extraordinary tableau regardless. But Micato’s magic is how they put together the journey through these regions and, more importantly, the beautiful humans who act as your Micato guides and drivers along the way. Moses in Rwanda drove us across his country and shared some of his most intimate family history and experiences with us while tending to our every need. Steven in Tanzania travelled by car and plane back and forth across the country with us and became like a brother. He even let us use his very fancy camera for the entire time to capture zoom photos we couldn’t achieve with our iPhones. And after Zanzibar Micato rescued us from airline-aggedon when we had to charter a plane to our flight back home.

We just returned from our African Safari vacation with Micato Safaris. This was the most relaxing and enjoyable trip we have ever been on thanks to the team at Micato. There are tourists and travelers. We were immersed in Africa by Micato so we felt like real African travelers. The guides, the drivers, the safari director, the airport meet and assist team, the hotels, the game lodges were all outstanding. All of these contributed to an enjoyable vacation. Micato provided us with a safe, comfortable and seamless African vacation experience from the time we were met at the Johannesburg Airport until we entered the airport in Nairobi. That is quite an achievement, considering the distances and complexities of travelling in Africa. The main reason for the success of our trip were the people at Micato. Every single person made sure our questions were answered, the itineraries were communicated and we were being looked after. They did it in the most genuine manner. They made it look effortless and easy. I would highly recommend Micato Safaris to anyone who wants an incredible African travel experience.

We have recently had the unbelievable experience of going on a Safari with Micato. I interviewed several different companies and decided on Micato due to the a variety of factors including their numerous awards, positive reviews and the friendly, knowledgeable team we spoke with about the trip.
The safari was absolutely amazing and the Micato team took care of every detail. The accommodations were spectacular, food amazing but the people really made the difference. For us it was the trip of a lifetime and we highly recommend Micato.
