I normally don't take the time to write reviews, but I just had to recommend Micato Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Africa. Everything about our Stanley Wing Safari made it the trip of a lifetime, agree to by our entire group, and in spite of thinking this would be a "one and done" experience, I now want to plan another trip to Africa or India with Micato. From the time you book your trip until the day you leave Africa, they present you with surprises that enhance the experience and show you the level of detail that goes into their planning.
What makes Micato special?
Culture - the Pintos hosted us, as they do all East Africa safari guests, in their home in Nairobi for lunch, and it was clear from their interaction with the Nairobi staff that they knew all their names and considered them family. Our knowledgable safari director and driver guides only work for Micato and most had been with the company for over 10 years or their entire career, and they worked together as a close-knit organization.
Service - the staff seemed to anticipate our every need or desire, and they tried to accommodate every request. Our safari director, who was with us from the time we arrived in Nairobi until the time he dropped us at the airport for departure, worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make everything go smoothly.
Mission-minded - the work Micato has done with AmericaShare is noteworthy, and we saw the impact while visiting their site in Mukuru, in the comments of a graduate who accompanied us on our visit, and in the waves of the Kenyans in the Mukuru slum as we drove by on our way to the site.
I could wax on but it must be clear by now that I highly recommend Micato Safaris!
