Micato Safaris

Safari. Even the word beguiles. With sweeping savannahs, astonishing landscapes, fascinating cultures and a richness of wildlife beyond your wildest imagination, an African safari exceeds every expectation. As do the services of Micato Safaris. Travel+Leisure has written that Jane and Felix Pinto, founders of Micato Safaris in Kenya, treat guests like "long-lost, out-of-town relatives." Travellers are not only invited to dinner at the Pinto family home in Nairobi, but are showered with little luxuries and special favours throughout the safari, as befitting the company voted "#1 Worlds Best Tour Operator / Safari Operator" nine times by readers of Travel+Leisure. Micato's trips are deliberately luxurious. Safari lodges enchant with luxuries such as private plunge pools and personal butlers. Personable safari directors educate, instruct and amuse, while Classic and Bespoke itineraries are crafted to offer an irresistible array of experiences from the sophisticated pleasures of Cape Town to the celebrated savannahs of the Serengeti and the near spiritual beauty of the Kalahari. Micato has always aimed not only to be the best safari operator, but to make a difference to the people and places we visit. Our non-profit arm, AmericaShare, was founded on that premise in 1986. Dedicated to helping populations in Nairobi, Kenya who have been affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, AmericaShare has made a tremendous impact by providing a bridge between children and women in need and people wishing to make a meaningful difference in Africa. Micato's One for One Commitment means that for every safari sold, one child will be sent to primary school, ensuring a difference in one family's life.
