My wife and I have 5 young adult children and have traveled the world with them as a family. Without a doubt- our trip to Tanzania with Micato was the best trip I have ever been on and everyone in the family agrees. Every detail of the trip is perfect and the anticipation of what you need is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Our safari guide was Nuru Mbisw and if possible I would strongly suggest you ask for him. Nuru worked tirelessly to take care of our every need- from safari breakfasts, to hot air balloons, to finding the right suitcase to help us bring home all of our new gifts and souvenirs. My kids all had tears in their eyes when we said goodbye to Nuru at the airport and we have continued to stay in touch by phone and text. Thank you Micato for the trip of a lifetime and thank you Nuru!!

This is our second trip with Micato (previously went to India with them in 2023). 4 of us did the East African Splendour tour. We had no hesitation with booking with Micato again because our India experience was so terrific. My wife and I travel a lot, and we've never had experiences like we've had with Micato. The people are all tremendous. The friendliness, professionalism, and knowledge they exhibit surpasses anything we've experienced. The hotels we stayed in were so unique and truly special in each area we visited. The game drives and guides were all so good. We saw so many unique things. It was truly awesome to see the animals up close and feel some of the African natural experience. Both our trips always featured Micato "extras". Our favorite on this trip was a surprise "picnic" for our group (of just 8 total people) in Ngorongoro Crater. We bypassed the overcrowded picnic area used by the other safari groups and drove into a beautiful spot in the bush (supposedly to see a new baby elephant they had discovered) only to find a small shady clearing with members from the hotel grilling a full meal, serving drinks and generally just spoiling us terribly (which happens everywhere Micato goes). A great surprise and an amazing location for it. And I'd be remiss not to mention the final day we spent with Micato in Nairobi. We stayed over for an extra day for travel reasons. Micato is deeply involved in Kenya through their AmericaShare program. We went to the Harambee Center in the slums of Nairobi where Micato supports the children of the area by providing educational opportunities and schooling they'd otherwise not receive. For every person who takes a Micato tour, another child goes to school for a year. It's an eye opening experience and one that has us wanting to help support them. A special shoutout to the Micato individuals who made the experience so terrific: Marion, our travel advisor who worked with us for both our Micato trips. Mercy, our concierge (and an Harambee Center graduate) who may be one of the nicest and most wonderful people we've ever met. And last but not least, Johnson, our Safari director for 2 weeks. Johnson managed everything for our tour and did it with great humor and skill. He really made the safari special and memorable for our family. He's also made us promise to come back again so we can visit Rwanda and other areas. It's a long trip, but totally worth it with Micato (and Johnson) in charge. We'll definitely be back again with Micato. Seeing Africa will always be amazing, but seeing it with Micato is the only way to go.

My recent Micato experience was nothing short of exceptional. Our Safari Director and Concierge team were always smiling and available to assist with any request, no matter how large or how small. The safari camps were very comfortable and equipped with modern conveniences, all of which utilized solar energy. Meals were an experience not to be forgotten. Regional dishes made use of locally sourced ingredients and were expertly prepared and served. Our Safari Director possessed an abundance of knowledge regarding all the wildlife that we viewed on our twice daily game drives. I highly recommend choosing Micato Safaris for an experience that you will cherish long after you return home.

The best safari experience I could have ever imagined! I cannot recommend Micato Safaris enough. From the moment we started planning until the final goodbye, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism, care, and genuine warmth. The guides were beyond knowledgeable, sharing not just wildlife insights but also expressing the deep love of their home with us. Every detail was handled, from seamless transfers to beautifully curated lodges and camps, and thoughtful touches along the way that made us feel so welcome. The itinerary was perfectly paced, combining incredible game drives with opportunities to connect more personally with local communities. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I feel so grateful to have trusted Micato for this adventure. If you are considering a safari, go with Micato, I promise they will exceed your expectations in every way!

Micato Safaris completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless, luxurious, and incredibly personal. The guides were warm, knowledgeable, and made every moment feel special — never scripted. What truly sets Micato apart is their heart. Their deep local expertise and commitment to community and conservation added so much meaning to the experience. I walked away inspired, grateful, and already dreaming of the next trip.
