Travel With The World's Most Awarded Safari Company
Micato Safaris has landed in the #1 spot on Travel+Leisure’s World’s Best Safari Outfitter list an unprecedented ten times and has made the list every year since the survey started 26 years ago, giving Micato the distinction of being the only tour company in T+L’s Hall of Fame. Micato has also won five Condé Nast Traveler World Savers Awards: Three for Education and two for “Doing It All.”
When Felix and Jane Pinto founded Micato Safaris 60 years ago in Africa, their only business plan was to treat guests like family, an approach Travel+Leisure recognized when they wrote “Micato Safaris’ edge is personal warmth. The Pinto family run their show as though they were entertaining well-loved, out-of-town relatives.”
Micato’s non-profit arm AmericaShare, formed over 30 years ago, has deep roots in educating vulnerable and impoverished children: though the Micato One for One Commitment, the company sends a child to school for every guest on safari.
A highly-credentialed Micato Safari Director accompanies every East African safari. Also included are a renowned on-site 24/7 Concierge team, valet laundry, all meals, alcoholic beverages at mealtimes, every gratuity, and much more.
