Why Choose Micato
Micato Safaris is synonymous with unsurpassed service in Africa and India. Micato guests experience the very best game viewing with highly credentialed guides and stay in lodges and camps that balance timeless beauty with spectacular extravagances. And through The Micato One for One Commitment, the company sends a child to school for every guest on safari.
Experts Only
Only Micato Safaris includes a highly-credentialed Safari Director on every East Africa safari — in addition to a seasoned Driver Guide. Two experts, not the solitary driver most companies provide. Micato was the first safari outfitter of note to hire local African safari guides, breaking the myth of the “great white hunter” guide and setting the precedent for sustainable safari guiding.
24/7 Access
Only Micato Safaris offers a Concierge Team on safari, available in person or by phone 24/7, from just about anywhere a Micato safari goes, from deep in the bush to downtown Nairobi. They’re poised to meet last-minute, unexpected, and unusual requests. Forgot a prescription? Lost your reading glasses? Craving your favorite snack? Just pick up the phone.
No Tipping. Ever
Years ago, Micato Safaris established the groundbreaking industry policy of including all gratuities, even substantial ones to Safari Directors, Driver-Guides, Trackers and Rangers, in addition to waiters, porters, housekeepers, and everyone else, throughout the entire safari. Micato Safaris has completely removed the anxiety about when to reach into your pocket for a gratuity, as well as figuring out how much.
ALL Included
All meals are included on a Micato safari, as are drinks during mealtimes. East and South Africa have an evolving selection of regional wines and craft beer, and Micato Safaris includes wine and beer as well as bottled water and soft drinks. And in Southern Africa, Micato often picks up the tab for spirits, too.
