A spectacular visit to Africa was had by all: my wife, Janet, my son David, and I. The Micato staff and all hotel staffs were wonderful to my family. I have not mentioned everyone's name, but people are important. They made our lives better!
The Micato guides, Afrika in Rwanda, Renny in Tanzania, and Sammy in Kenya were the best (most extraordinary) guides that I have traveled with to date. Traveling with guides, we have sailed to Antarctica (worst guides ever at Nathab), toured China by trains and planes (a great guide at Top China), and sailed to the Galapagos where we also had an extraordinary guide for OARS on our catamaran. I have also traveled with guides for Mount McKinley and Tetons mountain climbing, South American mountain climbing, ice climbing in the Rockies, Yellowstone horseback camping, white water rafting, and rock climbing. I have had instructors for drag racing, scuba diving, and sky diving. We, Janet and I, have traveled without guides to more than 20 cities in Eastern and Western Europe, traveled to Russia and Singapore, snorkeled with turtles in Hawaii, baracuda in the Florida Keys and sharks in the Galapagos, and we traveled to more than 40 cities and most of the national parks in North America. This travel list is provided to accent the quality of the guides that we traveled with, where guides typically have warm personalities and strong experience to alleviate the complexities of self-planned travels. Micato guides are at the top of the mountain.
In short, Micato guides, drivers, and staff put together and carried out an excellent trip, which included wonderful hotels and comfortably friendly staff. In fact, we currently plan to travel to India with Micato in 2022 or 2023. Asking someone to work for you again is the highest form of a compliment.

I cannot imagine doing this trip without the help of Micato during a pandemic. We were challenged by cancelled flights, requirements for extra covid testing along the way, and paperwork galore. Micato handled it all behind the scenes so our trip remained a fabulous vacation. They even had a doctor come to a hotel to do a covid test at their own expense to allow our itinerary to proceed. We went on the African Splendor. The service, accommodations, food, and ANIMALS were nothing short of extraordinary. This was a splurge for us far beyond our usual, in celebration of a 30 year career in emergency medicine. We were pleased beyond words. Worth every penny. Micoato ROCKS.

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.
