This trip was beyond the level of service and discovery we could ever have expected in India. We knew, however, that Marion Miller and all her colleagues at Micato would provide an outstanding experience for us, and that is what we received. Having traveled with Micato before to Kenya and Tanzania, we found they were expert at helping their guests to feel both transported into a marvelous new travel frontier and also to feel at home. My wife and I appreciated all of the care. Marion took before our trip to answer our questions, help us on logistical matters, and also give us advice about books to read and points of view to consider. I’m so glad we went to India, and I am especially glad we went with Micato. Thank you, Marion!

Sharing the letter I sent to Micato:
I cannot say enough good things about the experience I had with Micato. This safari was my first “big” trip after my husband passed away in 2020 (my only other travel since then being a long weekend here and there). Needless to say it was daunting to get on a plane and fly 19 hours away from home alone but from there being someone waiting for me when I got off the plane in Nairobi to dropping me off at the departure gate the experience vastly exceeded all expectations. But as excellent as the accommodations, facilities, excursions, food and animals were, the best part by far was the people. From our drivers in Kenya (James) and Tanzania (Arthur) to our concierge in Nairobi, not only was everything taken care of before I even thought of it, things I didn’t even think of were taken care of for me.
Now let me talk about our guide Bless. What a lovely, thoughtful and caring person you have working on your behalf! Our group was small, only three of us, but my guess is Bless makes everyone feel as special as we did no matter how many there are. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and the consummate guide but he’s so much more than just that. On our first day in Nairobi I mentioned my late husband and Bless expressed his sympathy and said we should do something in his memory on the trip. I honestly didn’t think anything more about it until I was walking to the main building at O’ldeani Lodge our first night there for dinner and he met me outside and said he had a surprise before dinner. Imagine my surprise when he had a coffee plant (I love coffee, so did my late husband) ready to be planted on the hotel grounds (and the hotel staff had dug the hole took my phone and recorded us putting it in the ground and watering it). This kind gesture meant more to me than I can ever express, I genuinely feel like I was able to share a little of Africa with my late husband and a little bit of my late husband with Africa. I was a Micato fan for life even without Bless and his amazing tribute but now I’ll be singing Micato’s praises to anyone who will listen.
Thank you again for the trip of a lifetime.

Having previously has a great experience on an African Safari with Micato, we planned and just returned from a trip to India with them as our advisor and guide. India is amazing - the places to visit (Palaces, Forts, Temples, Markets, Gardens...) are all seeped in history and having a guide with the knowledge to explain that history just made our journey unforgettable.

Our favorite trip ever. Kenya and Tanzania!Simply world class service, rooms, food and the animals we saw!! Our tour guides, George and Bless, were world class. Our concierge at the Fairmont, Eve, was able to handle any challenge. We will be back!

I recently returned from an unforgettable experience on Micato Safaris "The Soul of India" Classic India Journey. My introduction to Micato was an unannounced phone call to enquire about their offerings in India. This was when I was still deciding what travel advisor I would use for my first trip to India. Lucky for me, I connected with Marion Miller, who I immediately trusted in terms of her experience, knowledge, honesty and willingness to address my often naive questions. As Marion had assured me, I was never left on my own in India, escorts got me to and from every airport, and on arrival I met Hem Singh, our Travel Director, who anticipated my needs, educated me about every city, temple, fort, ceremony we visited, and made all of my inclusions clear including meals at any of the restaurants in five-star hotels, gratuities, laundry and more. I opted for a post-trip extension to Ananda in the Himalayas, an Ayurvedic holistic spa which exceeded my highest expectations. I look forward to returning when next I'm in India. In addition to Marion and Hem, I would like to single out Dr. Naresh Perumbuduri, the Ayurvedic MD with whom I met upon arrival at Ananda, and the chef and other members of the staff in the restaurant who catered to my every preference, as well as the massage therapists, and all the staff members at Ananda.
