WOW, A must do trip with family or friends! There is no one better equipped to pursue, plan and prepare you for a bespoke trip of a lifetime other than Diana and the wonderful Micato Team. Truly top notch services and communications that will make every aspect of your journey seamless. George Kamonde was an essential part to making our time and recent trip to East Africa that much more special. The knowledge, wisdom and friendship offered by not only George but all of Micato’s talented support staff will keep us coming back! Each trip distinguishes a new reason for me for why they have been awarded 10 times the Best Safari outfitters in the world as they make sure every phase of your trip is looked after like it was their own child and wanting nothing but the best for them.
If you want to gamble on your next vacation, book it in Vegas, if you want a winning hand go with Micato!

What can I say about Safari, Safari??? Magnificent, Resplendent, Glorious, Stunning! While we only saw the Big 4 this trip, we were mesmerized and humbled by all the things we did – 70.5 Lions including a SuperPack of (18), 2 Leopards, 4 Cheetahs, Dozens of Hyenas, 7 Crocodiles, a Monitor, a Civet, a Serval cat flushed out by a male elephant eating in the weeds at water’s edge, a pair of Lions mating, A Lion Flaming, a jackal, Mongoose, Baboons, Colobus including a brand new baby, Vervet, so so many birds, ELT’s, gaggles of warthogs, huge herds of elephants, bloats of hippos, giraffes numbering in the hundreds, Hyrax, thousands of Dazzles, Grant’s and Thomson gazelles, Wildebeest, Impala, Dik Dik, Topi, Waterbuck, Klipspringer, Hartebeest, Buffalo, 3 kills, 3 post kill carcasses, and on and on……
Why Micato? First Class Service from start to finish. Two guides for every vehicle while on safari. Years of experience. A prime example -- While the other safari trucks (“Japanese animals”) were ping ponging back and forth as two female lionesses were on the move, our driver guide, Manny made a series of 4 strategic location moves and kept us in the right places again and again with the lions walking or seated VERY nearby and in absolute prime locations for both the gazelle hunt and kill attempts and the nursing lioness headed back to her cubs with food in mouth!
Micato hires the Best (Marion, Peter, Manny, Grace, Bernard, Enzi) so its guests experience the Best!

I just returned from the trip of a lifetime! My cousin and I did a safari with Micato at the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. The only complaint I have, is we should have made our trip longer! I'm a frequent international traveler and have been all around the world and this is by far the best trip I have ever been on. The Micato team was great to work with from planning in the beginning all the way through arriving back home after the trip. Marion helped us plan and prepare for our trip answering all of our questions and assisting with everything. We had Grace with us in Arusha and she even helped retrieve items left at our hotel. Peter and Emanuel were our guide and driver and we had the best time with them. We definitely left Africa with new, life long friends. We are already planning our return trip (which we really started planning our second day because we knew we couldn't get enough) which can't come fast enough. I still can't stop smiling thinking about our trip and giggling about our jokes we shared with Peter and Emanuel. I haven't laughed so much in so long! There aren't enough words to describe how spectacular this trip was. Everything was planned so well and executed flawlessly. We saw so many rare sites and had prime viewing spots and it was all because of the expertise from Peter and Emanuel. We could definitely tell the difference in caliber of Micato versus other safari companies while we were watching the animals and there's a reason Micato is the best! Don't tell the animals, but the people were the best part of the trip! (But the animals are a very close second!) I'm back home now and find myself scanning for animals in the grasses and trees. And dreaming about our next trip back!

Micato is the best for a reason. I had extremely high expectations and I was not disappointed in any way. I have three children 16,15 and 13 and they said that this was not a vacation but an experience. The also said that it was life changing each for different reasons. I honestly believe that my children are more grateful, compassionate, confident, adventurous and closer after doing this safari. It is single handedly the best thing that we have ever done as a family and don't feel that it would have been near as special with another tour group. Thank you Thank you Micato!

I can not put into words how grateful I am and what a wonderful experience it has been working with Micato Safaris. I confirmed my clients on the Splendours of Northern India 10 night journey.
Confirmed with Marion Miller in the Micato New York office. Every aspect of working with Marion to confirm my clients for their first trip to India was a 5 star experience. Marion was able to secure the dates my clients needed. Their small group journey was very small, only them! All the questions about the itinerary were promptly and thoroughly answered. Including assistance with the entrance requirements. Micato sent out multiple packages to the clients and myself with beautiful printed material and gifts. Unlike a few other luxury tour operators that expect the clients to print their own documents or refer to their lap top for their information. My clients emailed me numerous times throughout their journey to praise their driver Hari and Guide Puneet. They treated my clients like royalty. Also the hotels were perfect and the clients got great upgrades!!
Be sure to contact Micato and ask for Marion Miller to confirm your trips to India and Africa too!!!

Absolutely an epic trip! If you take one trip in your lifetime, this is the one and Micato is the company to go with for this adventure. Allyson is a super guide and she had to handle a medical situation with a member of our group and she was brilliant. The lodges, safari guides, and staff members were all top drawer! The game drives every day were just spectacular. After taking 3000 photos, yes 3000, we have a lot of work to do before we post. Don't bother looking at other Safari companies, just book Micato.
