What's this trip about?

    For the food and beverage enthusiast, coffee can stir passions as powerfully as fine wine. Introduced to East Africa in the late 1800s, Arabica beans are highly prized for their body, richness, and acidity, and demand for Kenyan coffee is so strong that it is the country’s third largest cash crop. This Micato Safaris tour gives bean aficionados the unique opportunity to observe life and production on the modern coffee plantation, explore a selection of coffee varietals, and (of course!) enjoy a hearty helping of not-to-be-missed safari adventure.
