Micato is simply amazing. We traveled with them for a safari through Kenya and Tanzania and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Our tour guide, Kennedy, and all of the staff were incredibly patient, kind and made our journey fantastic. They delighted us at every turn with little surprises and touching details. We will cherish our Micato memories for ever.

I did a lot of research on luxury safaris prior to my husband and me booking the Micato African Splendour safari (August 15-31st). We debated about whether we would include South Africa and Victoria Falls as part of our trip, and we are so glad we did. In addition, friends who had traveled with Micato previously, recommended Micato.
We were very pleased with the excellent service, knowledgeable guides and beautiful, luxury accommodations throughout the trip. One was nicer than the next. We especially enjoyed The Manor and Mahali Mzuri. Micato provided many touches that made the trip even more special, including Mrs. Pinto and the president meeting us at the airport in Nairobi and having lunch with us upon our return. Prior to our trip, upon returning to our room each night and following our trip, Micato provided thoughtful gifts as remembrances of our travels. It was important to us that our trip be “all-inclusive” and we appreciated that we were not “nickel and dimed” for WIFI, tips, drinks, and laundry.
In Nairobi we stayed at Hemingway’s Nairobi. From there we visited Karen Blixen’s home and the Giraffe Centre. It was a real treat to be able to hand feed the Rothschild’s giraffes.
Another highlight of our trip was our visit to Micato’s AmeriShare project in the middle of one of the worst slums in Nairobi. Micato and its clients do so much to support the people and children of this area. Our last night was spent at the Hotel Fairmont The Norfolk in Nairobi, another very nice property.

My daughter and I went on an incredible safari journey with the most amazing safari group - Micato Safaris. We went on the Micato Grand Safari and can say it was a trip of a lifetime. The Pinto family, Micato staff and all the people of Tanzania and Kenya we met along our journey were amazing, gracious and knowledgable. We can't wait to go on our next journey to South Africa with them very soon.

My husband & I have had “the trip of a lifetime” twice, both with Micato! Our trip to South Africa in Feb 2019 exceeded our expectations. And after years of international travel, we have high expectations. We traveled to Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar in Feb 2020 and thank the entire Micato team for introducing us to such a wonderful world.

I love Micato! They are absolutely the best! I am a luxury travel advisor and have worked with many excellent safari operators…but after going on a Micato safari to East Africa in November 2019, I now understand the Micato difference. Every detail of your trip is planned perfectly. Yes, Micato has excellent guides. And yes, Micato has amazing lodging options.
But Micato also has a safari director who will be with you at all times, as you go from camp to camp to ensure everything is 100% perfect. And If you have forgotten to pack something, Micato has supplies, or will go the extra mile and get what you need!
Micato includes everything…all drinks, wifi, tips, laundry, etc. and I love that! I saw first hand how Micato handles a crisis as one person on my safari became ill and had to be hospitalized. Micato staff stayed with her 24/7 until her family could arrive from the US. I was so impressed! This is the type of service I want for all my clients!
Micato is a family owned and run company, and the hospitality of the Pinto family is heartwarming…you feel so valued by them while visiting their home! Micato is also dedicated to helping the people of Africa through their AmericaShare program. I loved seeing and hearing about all their philanthropic activities….companies that give back to their communities are important to me and my clients. I could go on & on about how much I love Micato and why they are the best. I look forward to personally traveling again with them, and enthusiastically booking more trips for my clients with Micato.
