“Micato Safaris is the Rolls Royce of the safari world and won just about every award for being one of the world’s best tour operators, from Condé Nast Traveler to National Geographic Adventure to 9-time winner of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Safari Outfitter.”

– Larry Olmsted, Forbes, March 2018

“As in neighboring Kenya and Tanzania, luxury outfitter Micato Safaris ranks at the top of the food chain for upscale wildlife endeavors in Rwanda… you’re assigned a personal safari director who ensures a flawless experience.”

– Paul Rubio, Private Clubs, Summer 2018

“Our family safari changed our lives. We traveled with Micato Safaris and [met] Felix. He spoke very little English but managed to tell us how much it meant to him that our family sponsored his boarding school education.”

– Terrie Hansen in Virtuoso Life, September - October 2018

“Kenya’s Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy, where Micato managing director Dennis Pinto stayed with three generations of his own family, might well be the ultimate exclusive use property, comprising 58,000 acres you and your crew will have all to yourself.”

– Private Clubs, Spring 2018

“Styled after the epic safaris taken by the aristocracy at the beginning of the 20th century, but with all the conveniences and luxury of the 21st, the Micato Grand Safari covers five preserves in 15 days, enough time to experience each without feeling rushed.”

– Elite Traveler, April 2018

“It’s a giddying experience, meeting someone special while you’re on vacation and sharing a brief romance in an exotic place. For some people, though, that holiday affair didn’t end when the [safari] did; instead, it changed their lives.”

– Mark Ellwood, Condé Nast Traveler, February 2018

“Even the savviest travelers should let a professional handle the details. We used Micato Safaris… they arranged to have someone meet us at our gate in Johannesburg, fast-track us through immigration, grab our bags, and whisk us to the Four Seasons.”

– Colleen Clark, Martha Stewart Weddings, Summer 2018

“Micato’s Marion Miller has been crafting fully escorted India itineraries for more than 20 years. She excels at trips that hit all of the popular destinations—Agra, New Delhi, Jaipur—while adding special experiences along the way.”

“Rwanda gorilla tracking is easily one of the top wildlife experiences on the entire planet. Gorillas don’t have to be your first trip to Africa, but they have to be one of them.”

– Dennis Pinto to Larry Olmsted, Luxury Magazine, Summer 2018

“Travel industry “Hot Lists” come out all the time, but not all carry equal weight. Knowing what the top new resorts and experiences are requires expertise, and when it comes to Africa [and] India no company has more expertise than Micato Safaris.”

– Allison Olmsted, Forbes, March 2018
