My husband and I have taken 2 trips with Micato which have been exceptional in every way. We have been to India and on safari with Micato and loved both trips. Their unique and interesting itineraries, attention to detail, luxury accommodations, comfortable transportation, as well as friendly and knowledgeable staff is not surpassed. We are already considering another trip with them. Such a great experience to travel with them and a terrific company!

Micato is hands down the best safari outfitter. Our trip to Tanzania was outstanding from start to finish. The vehicles were spotless and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, making long safari days incredibly comfortable. Our guides were unbelievably knowledgeable and, by the end of the trip, felt like family. I would 100% book with Micato again and can’t recommend them enough for an unforgettable safari experience!

This is the one. Every detail, from passing through airports and immigration to laundry service is well thought out. You will want for nothing. Our guide (Peter Kintai) and drivers were skilled, knowledgeable and entertaining. This, for many, will be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Do not hesitate.

We have been to Africa with Micato in the past, and it was a 5 star experience. So when my wife, Kim wanted to go to INDIA for a big birthday, to us it was a no-brainer but to try Micato India. Micato did not disappoint.
We were met upon arrival in Delhi at the gate and were fabulously accompanied throughout India until we got to Security in Delhi for our return to the US. Mind you, we had plenty of private time, most meals by ourselves, but frequently invited our personal guide to join us.
Speaking of our personal guide, Raj, was with us the entire two weeks, no flip flopping multiple guides. Raj was absolutely fantastic. Very personable, extremely knowledgeable, and funny. He quickly learned our personalities and we never got tired of Raj. (You should ask for him specifically when you go to India.) Raj and Micato are well connected in India too. After all, it is the birthplace of the Pinto family (owners of Micato.) Raj got us invited to a real Indian wedding in Jaipur (his cousin's), one of Kim's life long dreams, and we even got to meet the Maharaja of Udaipur (the gentleman in the orange turban in the photo.). We also had the best naturalist in Ranthambore, and got to meet tigers up close and personal, a major dream of mine and last of the big cats I had not seen with Micato.
The accommodations in Delhi, Udaipur, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Agra, and Varanasi were incredible. We loved the Oberoi hotels, and the Imperial in Delhi. Every detail is attended too... you are made to feel like royalty, which is appropriate as most of the hotels used to be palaces.
The itinerary mentioned above was a perfect blend of history, culture, religion(s), beauty and nature. It was certainly nothing like we were used to in the US, and fulfilled all of desires. Raj made sure we saw it all.
Bottomline.... Micato is every bit as fantastic, luxurious, and attentive to detail in India, as they are in Africa. I could not recommend them more highly. No, Micato is not a discount tour company, but you get what you pay for and then some. No wonder they ranked #1 for African Safaris. They should be considered #1 for INDIA as well..

Our African adventure with Micato was truly extraordinary! From the moment we arrived in Nairobi to our departure, every aspect of the trip was impeccably organized and executed. The experience was seamless, thoughtful, and clearly reflected the care and professionalism of the entire Micato team.
Every staff member we encountered was gracious, attentive, and deeply committed to making the trip memorable. I would especially like to recognize our Safari director, Kintai. He was simply outstanding. His knowledge, attentiveness, warmth, and sense of humor elevated the entire experience. In many ways, he made the trip for us. Over the course of the journey we shared many laughs, exchanged stories, and genuinely enjoyed his company. He is a tremendous ambassador for Micato and a real asset to your organization. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Nick at Micato was wonderful to work with. This was my first safari, and I was definitely nervous going into it, but Nick immediately put me at ease. He took the time to get on a call with us at the start to walk through the itinerary in detail, answer questions, and make sure we felt comfortable every step of the way.
We had an excellent experience with Micato from start to finish. Everything felt truly white glove from A to Z. The properties they selected were all fantastic, and the trip was seamless and incredibly well thought out.
I even ended up doing the hot air balloon ride, which wasn’t originally in my plan, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. It was such a special experience.
Micato has the most knowledgeable guides, Johnson our safari guide was with us from the moment we landed to the moment we departed, he was a "walking encyclopedia". He was able to spot a camouflaged leopard, a tiger and her new cubs hiding in the bush, and so many other wonderful animals.
I highly recommend Micato and Nick to anyone considering a safari and looking for a five-star, white glove experience.
