Micato safaris takes travel to the highest level. From the time that you step off the plane after a long journey, you are guided through the process seamlessly. Their attention to detail in every aspect of the adventure….from superb accommodations, to knowledgeable driver/guides, to chef prepared meals and surprises at every turn. It was by far the most wonderful experience that we have had in our many years of travel.

Going to Africa for a camera safari was in my bucket list since I was very young; it was a realization to go back where my neanderthal ancestors came from thousands of years ago, and I trusted Micato’s Company to make it happen. I felt pampered the whole trip with the Micato’s profesional attentions that was present through out the entire journey, as soon as I arrived at Nairobi’s airport and up to the very end when they made sure I got safe on the plane back to my country. Micato’s family made my Safari the best one person could ever have. Mrs Pinto herself greeting us and making sure everything was at perfection, their Concierge, the Safari’s Director, the Guides, Drivers, the Hotels and Lodges personnel, everyone contributed to make this trip the most wonderful one. Thank you Micato for making my trip wonderful and unique.

Micato Safaris is simply the best choice for a safari in Africa. Every detail is thoughtfully and expertly executed. I stayed at three beautiful tented camps in Kenya and the service and accommodations were outstanding. The food was artfully prepared and there were so many vegan options too. The staff made you feel like you were part of the family. The guides are incredible and so knowledgable. The game drives were better than anything I have watched on National Geographic. I couldn’t believe my own eyes as we got so close to so many majestic lions and the other animals. This is experience was beyond bucket list.

I recently experienced Kenya with Micato Safaris and it was truly life changing. I say experience because at no time did I feel like I was a “tourist” marking off another bucket list item. With Micato you arrive as a dear guest and you leave part of the family. It is obvious Micato loves Kenya and its people because that passion is felt every step of the way. We stayed in 3 camps, Lewa Safari Camp Elewana, Sand River Masai Mara Elewana and Finch Hattons in Tsavo. All of the camps had beautiful accommodations and the food was outstanding, fresh and delish. The game drives, I can’t even begin to explain the thrill and excitement each rover ride brought. But the people! Even after a short stay you are sorry to leave your new friends. But that is nothing compared to saying goodbye to your safari guide. George was with us every step of the way making sure everything went smoothly, was a fount of info, full of surprises and very missed. This trip was a full immersion to all that is Kenya’s culture, wildlife, diverse landscapes and always the people. Africa is now in my heart and already calling me back.

I experienced the trip of a lifetime to Kenya with Micato, they opened my eyes to how much you can discover a destination and its people with your eyes, ears, taste buds and especially your soul. I can't wait to go back to Africa. From start to finish, Micato's attention to detail, and insider knowledge of every destination we visited was exemplary. Their staff from pre-trip planning and during the trip were so engaged - from the arrival at the airport to the safari director who traveled with us every step of the way, the local guides, incredible concierge who was there for our needs, every member of their team is exceptional. I particularly appreciate their dedication to philanthropy, and engaging the local communities in the experience for guests. I can't imagine taking my next trip to Africa without Micato!

My first safari with Micato was 25 years ago when my mother and I saw what seemed like thousands of animals in Kenya and Tanzania. We also climbed Mount Kilimanjaro together. I knew at the time that if I came back to this part of the world I would only travel with Micato. It was a life changing experience.
I took my second safari with Micato in December of 2020. I was with my father, stepmother, sister and three nephews. And while the world had changed a lot over the last quarter century, Micato's commitment to OUTSTANDING excellence was exactly the same. From the second we stepped off the plane, I knew we were in exceptionally capable hands. Every detail was perfect.
Seeing my nephews trying to process the vast outdoors and amazing animals in the wild was simply amazing. One could could almost visibly see their horizons being broadened!
Our safari director, Kennedy (or Rafiki, as the boys called him) was knowledgeable, kind and accommodating...a true gem - he always had a smile on his face and was extremely patient with the boys' questions and shenanigans. It was clear that he was a parent himself. He also made sure that our Christmas was magical, beginning with a surprise bush breakfast and ending with an intimate dinner.
I have traveled all over the world and can honestly say that the warmth and kindness we experienced from each member of the Micato team was was unmatched. They brought Africa to life for me and my family in a way that will stay with us forever. I truly have never felt so well cared for, or experienced such luxury, service and adventure all rolled up into one glorious vacation. Whenever anyone asks me who to safari with I only have one answer: Micato.
