Why Micato Safaris?

Micato Safaris stands as a beacon of excellence in luxury travel, having been honored with the title of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Safari Outfitter a record-breaking ten times. This unparalleled achievement underscores their unwavering commitment to delivering extraordinary experiences. Founded over 60 years ago by Felix and Jane Pinto, the company has cultivated a legacy rooted in personal warmth and meticulous attention to detail. Each journey is accompanied by a highly credentialed Safari Director, ensuring seamless and enriching adventures.

AmericaShare: One for One Commitment

For over 35 years Micato has distinguished itself not only as a leader in luxury safaris but as a catalyst for positive change through its nonprofit arm, Micato-AmericaShare. Focused on supporting women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Nairobi, the program’s One-for-One Commitment ensures that for every guest who travels, a child receives vital educational and nutritional aid. This powerful promise transforms every journey into a meaningful act of giving, weaving lasting impact into the African experience Micato creates.

 

Highlights:

• The remote and dramatic Laikipia Plateau, home to unique species like Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, beisa oryx, and reticulated giraffe.
• The Maasai Mara, the northern, more exuberantly foliated reaches of the vast Maasai Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, the world’s greatest assemblage of free-roaming animals, a place where, Isak Dinesen wrote, “you felt the night-air soft and deep and pregnant with benediction.”
• The Serengeti: “The light is dazzling, the air delectable; the magic of the American prairie here blends with the other magic of the animals as they existed before man,” wrote the great British litterateur Cyril Connolly.
• Once a towering volcano, a rival of lordly Kilimanjaro, the Ngorongoro Crater is a natural masterpiece that brings to mind Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World.
• A glimpse into the daily life of the nomadic Maasai warrior clans, with special invitations to meet with tribal leaders for a discussion about rituals and ancient customs.
• Service, information, and good cheer from your Micato Safari Director from start to finish; round-the-clock access to our unique Concierge Service.
