In addition to providing our guests with an incomparable luxury safari experience, Micato is steadfastly committed to making a difference in the places we travel. Of course, there is the work we do through our non-profit AmericaShare; but we also we work with several reputable organizations in their efforts to protect animals, their habitat and Africa's cultural heritage.
In fact, we visit many of these organizations during our safaris—to educate our guests about the wildlife they see in Africa and, in many cases, to provide our guests with an "up close and personal" view of some of Africa's more charismatic (and cute) creatures!
