This past month, February 2025, my daughter and I joined a small group of former Micato Safari travelers and toured India. This was my fourth trip to India and it was by far the best tour I have ever taken. The itinerary was called ‘Soul of India’ and it was true to its name. We met in Delhi and crisscrossed the continent over the next three weeks. Our hotels (Oberoi and TAJ) were exceptional as was our seasoned guide, Puneet Dan. With over twenty-five years of experience, he was a walking encyclopedia. As chance would have it, India was celebrating the largest of its festivals, Maha Kumbh Mele, with about four million people gathering to bathe and celebrate in the Ganges. The crowds teemed with excitement from Agra to Veranasi and we were in the center of it all. We slipped up to Ranthambore National Park to meet India’s famous tigers and watch Riddli’s three cubs learning how to hunt. In Jaipur the lure of jewelry caught our attention and the Gem Palace did not disappoint. If custom jewelry was not your penchant there were beautiful hand-printed fabrics and silks. Mumbai was the last city on the group itinerary. It was a special contrast to life in the Northern part of the country with its old Gothic buildings and Tiffin system. We had arranged an extension to the State of Kerala (after our new found friends headed home). There we floated on a massive lake in a houseboat; toured Fort Cochin one of earliest settlements in the South, and enjoyed our hotels’ spa.

Now that we have traveled with Micato, it became abundantly clear in every aspect why Micato is ranked #1 for safari tours. Phillip, our Tour Director, was top shelf - unbelievably knowledgeable, remarkably personal & professional, fun to be around, handles every need no matter how big or small, made our journey so seamless & effortless, including the process of each location change. The entire Micato team we met on the tour reflected the same high quality of performance. I don’t know what they could improve. We fell in with the people & animals of Kenya & Tanzania as well as the spectacular & ever changing topography & vegetation. At the end of the trip, all 6 of us felt that our expectations were far exceeded.

A fantastic experience! Micato had thought of everything from start to finish. We loved every second of our trip to Tanzania and Micato made everything just that more special. Can’t recommend enough.

Our Micato Indian trip was truly "the trip of a lifetime". From the moment we landed to departure we were guide and accompanied by Rajesh. He gave us a appreciation for all the well known sites and also exposed us to some of the "real" Indian. Luxury accommodations second to none, great food, private and expedited access to sites made our visit completely stress free and magical. Could not recommend more enthusiastically!

Our seventh trip with Micato Safaris was to amazing India. All previous trips with Micato had been to Africa and were wonderful, so we had great expectations, which were frankly exceeded. India had been a place we were eager to visit and did so as a celebration of our 50th anniversary. Our incredible guide, Hem Singh, was a wealth of information and had an uncanny ability to sense any need or desire we had. He also performed double duty as an additional photographer whose photos were some of our best. The well designed itinerary had a good mix of active sightseeing and sufficient down time for rest and recovery. We felt we saw and experienced so much in only two weeks! After our previous adventures with Micato, we knew that our best option to learn about and explore India was with them. There's still more for us to see, Micato, so expect us back!

Our India trip with Micato was above and beyond! Exclusive access in places marked "Private": Superb cuisine, accommodations and vehicles and an ambassador with us every step of the way with insider knowledge and insights! Many interactions with local residents and the opportunity to see village life up close and personal. It was a long party with lots of surprises and amazing experiences! I recommend it without reserve...you will love it!
