I travelled with Micato in May 2021 for a very delayed honeymoon (thanks COVID) and every single aspect of our trip was flawless. The level of service and attention to detail Micato provided throughout the planning process was second to none. Our dedicated safari directors became close friends of ours and we felt so lucky to have dedicated safari directors with us every step of the way. It’s like having a park ranger/historian/walking encyclopedia with you at all times… amazing. All of the inclusions make the entire experience oh so worth it, not to mention all of the personalized surprises I won’t spoil. Even the Micato employees on the ground in Africa who greet you at the airport and escort you through customs was such a welcomed touch. Navigating new countries and airports and varying customs/Covid guidelines can be daunting, but having Micato there every step of the way gave us one less major thing to think about. If you’re considering traveling with Micato, stop considering and book it, you won’t regret it. Thank you Micato for somehow exceeding my stratospheric expectations. We truly cannot wait to experience Micato’s Africa again… and again… and hopefully again. Thank you!

Trip of a lifetime... the best tour guides... the safari was exceptional, we saw every animal. Our camp sites were amazing. Luxury doesn't describe how fabulous the hotel/camps were. The care and guidance that we received made the trip extra special. Micato met us upon arrival at the gate, and stayed with us until we departed. Can't wait to go back to see more. Micato is the BEST. They made us feel very safe, like the way you would treat a family member. Loved it...

Our 18 day East African safari (Hemingway Wing) and mountain gorilla trek extension was the trip of a life time. The Micato “experience” made it all come to life. Our phenomenal guides & drivers, 5-star accommodations, fabulous food & drink and priceless camaraderie were to be expected. However, the feeling of “Africa”, an appreciation for a way of life, was something I don’t think would be experienced without the Micato touch. Yes, we saw the Big Five - and then some! But it was the sights, smells, sounds of Africa that will be with us for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Micato!

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!
