I traveled with Micato Safaris in Kenya this December, and the experience truly blew me away. I call it Micato Magic—because every single detail is handled so seamlessly that all you have to do is wake up and be ready for greatness.
From the moment we landed, Micato was there waiting for us right on the tarmac with a private transfer, fast-tracking us through immigration when we were exhausted from travel. That level of care set the tone for the entire trip.
One of the highlights was our Micato Safari Director (ours was Peter—who seems to be friends with everyone in Kenya ). Having a Safari Director throughout the journey provided consistency across camps. He perfectly supplemented the camp guides, added depth to our experience, and was an absolute delight to travel with.
I also had dietary restrictions, and every single meal was handled flawlessly—thoughtful, delicious, and stress-free. The staff and guides at each camp were warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. I learned so much on this trip and felt genuinely cared for everywhere we went.
Micato’s concierge service is next level—whether it’s big requests or small ones (like running out to get socks we forgot to pack!). Including laundry made packing light effortless, and having all gratuities included removed any stress so we could just fully enjoy the safari.
And then there’s the wildlife—wow. Every day felt special, and every day brought something new. We were consistently placed in the perfect position for game viewing, and they even went out of their way to find beautiful birds for me.
