Editoral Review of Micato Safaris
Since 1966, Micato has been operating luxury safaris around Africa.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
With over 40 years of experience in the luxury safari industry, Micato’s background provides the assurance that you will be receiving truly top-notch service. They offer luxury safari’s throughout Africa, and are a great option for families and small groups.
Who Travels With Them?
Micato safaris are enjoyed by families, couples, and small groups. Most of their safaris are in the luxury realm, don’t expect much camping, but they do offer some itineraries more geared toward active adventure enthusiasts.
Where Do They Operate?
Their safaris operate all over Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana, and Mozambique.
Why Travel With Them?
Micato provides the perfect mix of luxury and adventure. You spend your mornings and afternoons out on the savannah, spotting incredible wildlife at every turn. Back at the lodge, enjoy leisurely meals, pool time, traditional afternoon tea, and wind the night up around a fire gazing up at the stars. It’s a true vacation. And you can feel good in the fact that you’re supporting responsible tourism. Micato is dedicated to giving back to the local communities they travel within, as well as supporting sustainable travel initiatives.

About the company
Back in 1966, Felix Pinto, a ranking member of the ex-British Kenyan government, started a luxury safari company. He also dabbled in gentleman farming on the family's rambling acreage outside Nairobi, which was even profiled in the prestigious American edition of Geo magazine. Micato's private safaris ultimately prevailed over farming and forty-five years and a Stanford, Harvard and Stanford Business School graduation later, the Pintos are joined by their (well educated!) children in the running of Micato Safaris. As it has always been, Micato is more than just a business—it is a labour of love.
Micato has been voted the #1 World’s Best Safari Outfitter by Travel+Leisure a record nine times. We were also named Travel+Leisure World’s Best Value on every poll ever taken and we’re the only tour operator in Travel+Leisure’s Hall of Fame
