We raised our children on a farm in Kenya, quite close to Karen Blixen’s famous coffee plantation. And we began and built our company here in the land of our birth. So you see, when you travel with Micato you’re travelling with more than just a company — you’re travelling with our family.” Family-founded, family-operated, and family-owned for more than 50 years, Micato is more than just a business – it’s a labour of love. , and you guys made it unforgettable. Special thanks to all the people that made it possible, our director tour guide Nuru ( what a great person with excellent attitude and always making surprises that made our trip more special and making the experience unique) our drivers Anthony in Nairobi, Frederick in Tarangire and Lake Manyara, and Ernest in Serengeti, they were so great and always with a big smile in their faces. Also special thanks to everyone that help us in the airports, and made us surprises in the hotels rooms. Finally, Thanks to Jane in Nairobi, she help us out with everything that we need it, making this trip easier from all the aspect. I am grateful to have the opportunity of experience that trip in the hands of Micato Safari, which in our opinion is simply the Best safari tour operator ever. Thank you very much. One of our group purchased the wrong size pants in Nairobi, and Micato returned the pants, found the right size, and had them delivered to the bush the next day. Your service surpassed all definitions of “excellence,” from stunning sunset appetizers and fine wines in the bush, and all the hundreds of little touches that none of the other safari companies provide. The amazing thing was that your staff acted as though we were the only people in the world and that all their efforts were on our behalf. We were pampered. They were unbelievably caring and helpful. As we moved from place to place, we realized that everyone with Micato is caring and helpful. We were entertained, instructed, educated, and advanced along the way by the nicest group of guides and drivers that we could ever imagine. It is a challenge to determine where to begin in our praise of Micato. . . . We are seasoned travelers, taking an average three to four significant trips annually. I can say without reservation that we have never had a single travel experience that we haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. However, having said that, we can also state unequivocally that our It certainly was a new experience to receive so much attention from a company owner. The personal touch of Jane Pinto and her sister Dulu was very much appreciated. And our driver Frederick was so warm and amiable that we thought we were traveling with a friend. We were especially moved by the enthusiasm and dedication of Roba, our Safari Director. It was beyond a vacation or even a dream. To say that I am impressed with your company and operation is a vast understatement. I had lofty expectations for our safari and Micato surpassed those—in a big way. In my mind it would be a travesty for you not to win the Travel+Leisure award for the next ten. We were continually delighted by the little extras that you provided. I’ve never been on a packaged trip like this where literally everything—beyond what your brochure promoted—was covered. What an absolute pleasure. Our sincere thanks for the wonderful safari we recently took to Tanzania. Ms. Diana Meehan in New York was extraordinary, from helping us initially plan the safari, to making many last-minute changes. She did all of this over Easter weekend – and never once complained…. Micato readily deserves it great rating as the best safari company in the world. I only hope others will listen and use your company…. We plan on using you and your team again in the future. Our sincerest thanks to you and your wonderful team. Micato’s expertise and attention to details were extraordinary, ensuring the success of our safari. Micato’s planning information packages were particularly helpful of each of us in planning for the trip…. Thank you for making our safari such a wonderful, memorable experience. We could not believe as we got closer to our travel dates that despite only two of us on the safari, the trip was not cancelled. We could not imagine that Micato would do all the planning, executing, etc. for only two people. Again for us, this reinforced what a special company this is…. We are writing to thank Micato for the incredible safari that we took with your company in Tanzania earlier this morning… Everything from the program plan to the accommodations to the drivers was just perfect… It was truly the trip of a lifetime, and well exceeded our expectations. We had so much fun! We would especially like to recognize the efforts of our guide, Charles, for making our trip so memorable. His knowledge of the animals and culture was extraordinary and his enthusiasm for the subjects was remarkable….. We consider ourselves honored to be able to be in his care during our trip. How does a safari company amaze and excel for more than 50 years? By a cheerfully relentless dedication to service and innovation… one of the reasons why on every trip in East Africa — in addition to a well-versed Driver-Guide. Two dynamic, exuberant experts instead of the solitary driver most companies provide. All meals included, too. Moreover, you may decide on-the-spot to dine at a restaurant of your choice on a Micato Bespoke Safari and we’ll happily pick up the tab. Africa has astonishing culinary choices and there are virtually no limits to where and how often you can indulge. And no worries about making reservations or finding hot spots before you travel; we’ve got that covered; perhaps one reason
