Just returned from a Micato safari in Kenya (Lewa and the Maasai Mara) and am still basking in the wonder of it all. It delivered on all fronts. Logistics, accommodations, and, of course, the safari experience itself were all unparalleled and exceeded every expectation and desire. Our guides, Dennis and Peter, were stellar - deeply knowledgeable, hospitable and engaging - with wonderful senses of humor, to boot. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip. Strongest recommendation to anyone seeking an outstanding safari vacation. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

We travelled to Kenya on Safari and Rwanda to go Gorilla Trekking with Micato and it was out of this world! Everything was first class and absolutely amazing. All of the details were handled perfectly and we felt like we were royalty. Our Safari Directors, Peter Githaka and Denis Simi were extremely knowldegeable about the animals, the plants, the environment, the culture.....everything. And they seemed to know how to make any request happen! Like magic! We would highly recommend taking a trip of a lifetime with Micato!

Top notch safari company. This was my first time going on a safari and it was excellent. Everything went as planned. The company was very prepared to deal with the Covid situation and I felt very safe with their updated protocols. I would highly recommend

My family and I traveled to Kenya to go on a Safari over thanksgiving 2020. It is very difficult for me to put into words how amazing this trip was. I have no doubt that I will be back and I can only hope it is with Micato. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. The guides knew everything about anything in the area and communication wasn't an issue.

My friend and I took our first trip to Africa in October 2020. It was the most amazing trip I’ve ever taken. I don’t say that lightly I’ve taken some amazing trips to Egypt, Scotland & Ireland they were all amazing but nothing compares to Tanzania with Micato. They tell you that you might come for the animals but you will miss the people and I do. Rodgers & Arnold took the best care of us! We saw the big 5 all of them, Arnold found a rhino in the crater to ensure we would see them all. In addition to anything in the park we wanted to see. Rogers got us to three hunting cheetahs in the Serengeti. Just WOW. He also remembered my favorite bird and I made sure I didn’t miss the photo. Because they were both watching the game all the time I have the most incredible pictures! Your driver matters more than you expect because it’s he who stops the jeep in time for the best shot after your guide does the spotting. We loved them both, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the staff at each lodge who were just so welcoming that I really didn’t want to leave. Oliver’s camp in particular where the staff never missed an opportunity to sing a cheerful greeting. It was a highlight of our stay.
Each activity was sublime I have to shout out to Serengeti Balloons our hot air balloon service again it was the most incredible experience and the the crew from the driver to the pilot were so professional and welcoming they raised the bar on perfect service just a little higher. One of the crew even took our picture with my camera as we prepared for take off. Not because we asked but because he knew we would love the ride and want a photo! I’m so happy to have that picture so I can recall the fastest 60 minutes of my life; the ride and the sights all came together for a magical moment.
Yes we were there during Covid, no we were not afraid. Everyone took care to practice safe protocols and now in December I can tell you we are fine. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. If you have been dreaming of Africa go now before the crowds return.
