Micato Private Classic Safaris

Private Classic Safaris MICATO

A great idea that pops up at many a family dinner, a barbecue with friends, or social-media post: “Let’s take a trip together!” Our Private Classic Safaris are marvelous ways to turn that idea into resplendent reality. It’s simple. A phone call will do it. The rest is fine-tuning. You pick one of our 10 Classics, hone in on one of the departure dates listed at the end of each safari description (a lot of choices: each safari departs three or four times a month, year-round), and tell us you want to make it a Private Classic.

To be totally honest, we were a tad nervous about investing so much money on our trip when we started...but by the end of the trip, we ALL were saying how it was all SO worth it. Micato made us feel as though we were their only customers and that anything we needed would be taken care of—that was how focused their support and service for us was!

Why Make it a Private Classic Safari?

It’s your own safari departure: just you and your friends or family travelling together— with your own ever-present Safari Director. You’ll have your own safari vehicles and the freedom to choose when and how long you’ll go on game drives. A full-day game drive? No problem. If you want to track a lion on a hunt or observe a dung beetle decimate a dung pile you can. Within logistical parameters, you determine your days. And your Safari Director is there to advise and then make it all happen.

To depart on a safari is not only a physical act, it is also a gesture. You leave behind the worries, the strains, the irritations of life among people under pressure, and enter the world of creatures who are pressed into no moulds, but have only to be themselves; bonds loosen, anxiety fades, the mind closes against the world you left behind like a folding sea anemone.
