hello!
I’m Onanta Forbes — and travel defines who I am. Travel has shaped my life with wanderlust, inspired my sense of style, and influenced my love of food. It has heightened my senses, tested my character, and deepened my friendships.
Since 1985, I’ve worn many hats in the travel industry — from travel consultant to agency leader to travel expert featured in print, TV, radio, and social media. Born in Jamaica and raised in Canada, I specialize in cruise travel, luxury travel, and destination celebrations, crafting journeys that blend luxury with authentic cultural connection.

Why I Travel
I love everything about travel — from the thrill of planning and the excitement of the airport, to the joy of exploring a new destination. I’m inspired by the colour of travel, the memories it creates, and the experiences that spark dreams of the next adventure.

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.
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!
