Our 3-week Micato tour through India couldn't have been any better. No detail was left unchecked. The hotels we stayed in were amazing, the daily planned trips took us to all of the places we wanted to see, and our tour director was fantastic. He paid great attention to to our needs and provided flexibility in our schedule to accommodate our desires. The trip was a Grand Slam!!!

After some time for reflection we have come to the conclusion that our time that we spent with Micato on our Stanley Wing Safari was not just a vacation but a life changing experience!
Thank you so much to Rufus, our Safari Director and to all of the Micato staff and all of the wonderful people that worked tirelessly in the background. We are forever changed and have a new found love for the beauty of Africa.
Money well spent for a beautiful experience. It is VERY evident why Micato has been awarded "World's Best Luxury Safari Provider" 10 times!

We did not expect to have a safari-for-two but going to Kenya and Tanzania AFTER the Great Migration rush gave us an extraordinary experience. From the beginning to the end of our trip, Micato Safaris ensured that we would have a memorable and enjoyable safari. Watching the wild animals in their habitats was fabulous, of course, but that our overall tour guide Titus and the local guides in each of our stops were impressively knowledgeable about what we saw made the trip an awesome learning experience. Plus, how could we forget our surprise sundowners in the savannah, generous lunches outdoors, beautiful lodgings (amidst sounds of hippos and lions in the distance and the calls of unfamiliar birds), and thoughtful hosts? Truly, a wonderul experience.

Our wonderful Micato guide called India "organized chaos" but it works. This was our first trip to India and Micato put together an exceptional itinerary. For 21 days we had an outstanding guide who was very knowledgeable about India's history and current events. He was accommodating to our wishes and anticipated all our needs. Everyday we looked forward to meeting him and our skillful driver, who maneuvered us through chaotic traffic. Micato goes beyond 5*. For my birthday Micato surprised me with a donation of playground equipment given in my name to a grammar school in Varanasi. The school greeted us with thanks, songs and a cake. It was truly my best birthday. Thank you, Micato, for introducing us to the most amazing country we have ever visited and we have visited quite a few.. Namaste.

My wife just returned from a trip of a lifetime to India with my niece. Micato's excellent team prepared and executed a trip they will ever forget. It was full of history, culture, religion, people, every-day-living and was magical at every turn. All of this, coupled with Micato's precision for taking care of every little detail and being more than willing to accomplish any request they had sets Micato far apart from any other travel company!
Whether you travel to Africa with them (which we have) or India, you are in for a glorious adventure. Well done Marion and Hem and team(s).

I recently returned from my 6th trip to Africa and it was my first time with Micato, on a custom program in Kenya. Micato has a stellar reputation and corresponding price tag - would it meet expectations? Was it necessary to have a safari director, or might it feel intrusive to have someone with you 24/7?
I can confirm I 100% understand the magic of Micato. Our safari director George was instantly our fearless leader, guardian angel & beloved member of our (ladies!) group - we learned so much, laughed endlessly, and bonded in a way we’ll remember for years to come.
You cannot put a price tag on peace of mind. Travel to Africa is an investment, you earned the right to travel worry-free and be taken care of from the moment you land until you step on your flight home. Lost luggage? Tracked down and personally collected from the airline. Excess luggage (I was traveling to Asia afterwards)- they arranged storage of items that were returned after safari, with a spare Micato bag to bring home all the beautiful gifts we received throughout the trip. There are SO many surprises throughout (I won’t play spoiler!) in addition to the top notch planning & service. The team recognized when someone was quite sensitive to cold, and arranged extra blankets & warm water bottles at night for her throughout the rest of the trip. If we were tired and a meal was taking too long, a quiet word and dinner was efficiently served. A guest recently lost her husband and the team arranged a beautiful tree planting dedication in his honor, which brought us all to tears.
Our combination of properties (Mutara, Sand River & Bateleur) provided an enriching & varied experience in exactly the right order. Kenya is a magical destination, with dramatic scenery, rich culture, beautiful wildlife & heartwarming people. This is true regardless of who you travel with - and Micato only enhances this experience. Thank you Micato for the beautiful memories!!!
