10 Reasons Travel Advisors Trust Micato Safaris with Their Clients
1
Your Client Relationship Stays Yours
Micato is built to support travel advisors, never to compete with them. We provide beautifully produced sales materials designed to help you sell. Unlike other companies, Micato does not splash its 800 number across every page of our 184-page brochure. We can mail the brochure to your clients at no cost through our fulfilment house, so Micato does not receive their information and your relationship remains fully protected.
2
Every Scheduled Classic Safari Departure Is Guaranteed
Every scheduled Micato Classic Safari departure is 100% guaranteed. We have never cancelled a departure and will operate with even a single traveller. You can recommend Micato with confidence, knowing you will never have to tell clients that their long-awaited safari has been cancelled because too few guests enrolled.

One Highly-Credentialed Safari Director, From Arrival to Departure
A Micato Safari Director accompanies every safari from beginning to end. Equal parts wildlife expert, gracious host, and behind-thescenes orchestrator, he brings each safari to life while managing every detail, from game viewing to luggage, flights, hotel check-ins, and dietary needs, making the entire journey seamless.
4
A 24-Hour Team on the Ground
Every Safari Director is supported by Micato’s 24-hour Concierge and destination operations teams. From a flight change to an unexpected request, experienced Micato professionals are ready to respond. If an airline misplaces a suitcase, Micato’s Lost Luggage Kit provides thoughtfully selected clothing and essential amenities, helping your clients remain comfortable until their bags arrive.
5
More Is Included From the Start
All meals, unlimited wine and beer at mealtimes, park fees, internal flights, and daily valet laundry are included. Each guest receives a custom Eagle Creek safari duffel, and Nikon binoculars are available in every Micato vehicle. There are no surprise expenses, and thoughtfully planned short internal flights eliminate many unnecessary hours on rough roads, leaving your clients free to enjoy Africa.
6
There is no tipping. Ever
Your clients never have to decide whom to tip, how much to give, or when to offer it. They can travel without carrying a large amount of cash in small denominations or facing awkward calculations throughout the journey. One familiar source of stress simply disappears.
7
Commission Is Paid 30 Days Before Departure
Micato pays your commission 30 days before your clients travel. You receive what you have earned before departure, rather than waiting until weeks after they return. It is a practical way we make doing business easier and a tangible expression of the value we place on our advisor relationships.
8
Six Decades of Family Leadership and Local Relationships
Founded in Kenya by the Pinto family in 1966, Micato remains family-led today. Six decades of close relationships across Africa strengthen our judgement, access, and ability to solve problems quickly. Your clients’ journey is supported by an established, well-coordinated team working in close partnership across every stage of the safari.
9
Independent Recognition You Can Share With Confidence
Micato has been named Travel+ Leisure’s #1 World’s Best Safari Outfitter a record ten times. It is the only tour operator in the Travel+ Leisure Hall of Fame and a three-time winner of the publication’s World’s Best Value award. More than 750 five-star Google reviews provide further independent reassurance for you and your clients.
10
Every Journey Supports a Child’s Education
For every guest who travels on a Micato safari, a child is sent to school through Micato’s One for One Commitment. Education opens paths to independence, opportunity, and the ability to support a family. For your clients, it adds lasting meaning to an already extraordinary journey.
