My wife and I experienced a life-changing vacation like no other on Micato's Jewels of Southern Africa trip with a Botswana extension. Every aspect of the itinerary was phenomenal. Yes, we loved seeing the multitude of animals in their native habitats. As if that was not enough, the people we met, the cultures we saw, the topography, the accommodations, transportation, the food....everything was excellent. In addition, our Micato guide, Leslie Edgar, was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable in every aspect of the trip (history, animals, birds, culture), extremely kind and attentive to all five clients on the trip, and truly a nice guy. My wife and I are now trying to figure out when we can go another Micato trip (ideally with Leslie as our guide). It could not be soon enough. We recommend Micato without any reservations at all.
And by the way, Diana Meehan in the Micato offices in New York was fantastic at putting our trip together and making the arrangements for Botswana too. Diana was super.

Traveling with Micato in Africa was nothing short of extraordinary! From the very first moment, every detail was handled with such care and thoughtfulness that it made the entire journey seamless and totally stress-free. The accommodations were beyond luxurious each having its own charm and breathtaking views.
The daily game drives were awe-inspiring. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, African buffaloes, hippos….oh and penguins in South Africa! Our guides were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also attentive and passionate about sharing their love for Africa’s wildlife and culture.
What really set Micato apart, though, was the personal touch. From the gracious hospitality and the exquisite meals, the seamless travel logistics, and the special surprises along the way, everything was perfection.
I cannot recommend Micato highly enough. They turned a safari into a life-changing journey, and I will treasure every moment forever.

I don't have anything to compare this safari company with but I can't imagine a better tour group! Our trip was beyond fabulous! Our guides and the properties were out of this world. Micato thought of everything! So many incredible details to mention. We also felt like we were in good hands if any issues came up. I feel so fortunate that we went with this company. Truly a dream come true.

We cannot thank Micato enough for the most wonderful safari experience! We were a family group of seven -ages ranged from 7-77. Our awesome tour guide Julius was with us every step of the way- we definitely feel that we made a new friend! In addition, every Micato driver and staff member that we met along the way was exceptional. We did the East Africa Splendor tour and spent time in Maasai Mara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Each place was wonderful in its own unique way and we saw tons of beautiful animals, including the elusive leopard and a black rhino. We made so many wonderful family memories and have lots of wonderful photos as well. If you are considering an African safari, look no further than Micato Safaris- they rock!!!

My clients just returned from Micato's East African Splendour, a small group tour. They were celebrating their 40th Wedding Anniversary and wanted to do something special. They decided to travel to Africa. I had worked with Micato previously for other clients. For this trip, I worked with Nick Schroer. He is very knowledgeable and helpful with everything I needed to know to advise my clients. He responded quickly to all of my questions and concerns I had. Thank you Nick for helping to create an unforgettable experience for my clients' very special trip.

I must say that if I could give them more than five stars I would have. Micato is an amazing outfit. We had an amazing trip to Southern Africa with them. The service level was impeccable, the places we stayed, especially the Tengile River Lodge, were beyond belief. But most important, Micato took responsibility to remedy a situation that was just not their fault. We had a plane taken out of service that was supposed to deliver us to Vitoria Falls. Micato put us up in a hotel, and then the next morning, they flew us to the Falls on a chartered plane. We managed to get in all of the events that were scheduled, but apparently because we had lost a day they issued a refund to us for that day. And it wasn't their fault. We were met at each airport we arrived at, escorted through security, we just were treated like VIPS. The food was great, as were Leslie Edgar, our guide throughout the journey, Brett, our guide at the Tengile lodge, Kohlen, Brett's tracker, and Moses, the man who took care of us at the lodge. I just can't enough about this company. As I told my travel agent, this was a once in a lifetime experience, unless we decide to go to India with them.
