Client Testimonials

The trip was fantastic; you did a wonderful job organizing it. The trains and the hotels were walking distances, and it was great. It was wonderful to get to the train stations, and our seats were pre booked. During the tours we just walked pass the long lines of people waiting to get into the sites. 😊. The tours were very informative and interesting. The ladies spoke English very well and my husband and I enjoyed talking to them later in Italian.

A & V Novello

Our trip home starts tonight after a one day delay. But thanks to the assistance of our Travel Time expert Onanta Forbes and Micato Safaris, we were able to get our flights rescheduled to get us home.

This is without a doubt the best adventure that we have ever been on and we have done quite a few. Micato Safaris, our Safari Director, Rufus Nderitu and all of the wonderful people at Micato saw to it that we were engaged and well taken care of. But they were always in the background taking care of all the details, looking after our well being and were very gracious hosts.

Thank you to all our friends for your comments and wishes and we’re very happy to share all of the wonderful animals, people and places that we saw. We are forever grateful and touched to experience the beauty of Africa! If Africa is in the cards we would highly recommend Micato!
