What’s Included

It’s different in Micato’s Africa. Hospitality is a way of life with us: travellers are welcomed like old friends and privileged access is understood. Luxury, that too-oft bandied term, is woven into the very fabric of Micato — for six rewarding decades, we’ve been refining our craft, driven to overdeliver, going beyond what’s expected of even the grandest safari outfitter to bring you an almost impossibly all-inclusive safari.

We know that a big part of making you feel relaxed is leaving the details to us. So most everything on your Micato safari is already considered, sorted – and included in the deal. And when we say everything – things as big as curious pachyderms and as tiny as the shyest pea-sized creatures – we mean everything. So, please bear with us if this list of inclusions gets a bit listy. We’re only scratching the surface of the delights that define a Micato safari.

Perhaps the best of what is included is what is difficult to quantify. The shared laughter of family around a sundowner campfire. A talk with a Maasai elder, or a discussion with a descendant of an original settler. The pleasant, welcoming smiles of your Micato hosts — Felix and Jane Pinto. Micato Africa founders Felix and Jane Pinto are native Kenyans who live in Africa. They, along with the rest of the Micato team, are available to consult with you at any time about whatever you may want or need. And the Pinto Family’s long history and established standing throughout Africa enables “only with Micato” access to extraordinary people, places, and experiences.

Only Micato includes a highly-credentialed, Silver or Gold-level Safari Director on every safari in East and Southern Africa — in addition to a well-versed Driver Guide. Two dynamic, exuberant experts instead of the solitary driver most companies provide. The insights of your experienced Safari Director, for whom the bush is a home away from home, are on tap each and every day.

Only Micato offers a wonder-working Concierge Team on safari, available in person or by phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from just about anywhere a Micato safari will take you, 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 favourite snack? Just pick up the phone.
