 Press ReleasesAFRICA ON A WING AND A WHIM: MICATO SAFARIS’ ELITE JETTING THE AFRICAN CONTINENT BESPOKE ADVENTURENEW YORK, NY – January 16, 2009 – Recognizing that time is the ultimate luxury, Micato Safaris has added a new way to explore Africa’s diverse and breathtaking landscape with efficiency and ease, namely, by corporate jet. Now, in a single journey of a few weeks, travelers on Micato’s Elite Jetting the African Continent Bespoke Adventure Safari can visit sites as far flung as Botswana’s Kalahari Desert, Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, the granite islands of the Seychelles, Ethiopia’s UNESCO World Heritage site of Lalibela, the gorillas of Rwanda’s Parc National des Volcans, the mighty Zambezi River and Victoria Falls, the Great Migration in the Serengeti and more using a private, Gulfstream GII-SP jet or similar. To provide its travelers with unparalleled access to the best aircraft, service and security available in the private aviation industry, Micato Safaris has teamed up with Air Partner, the world's leading aircraft charter company and the only aviation company to hold a Royal Warrant to Her Majesty the Queen. Air Partner operates a 24-hour flight operations center, providing VIPs, heads of state, presidents, royalty — and now Micato guests — with access into and out of the most challenging and obscure airports on the African continent. And while travelers are certain to enjoy the freedom to fly on command in seclusion and comfort, they will also delight in the number of enhancements available to them — from elegant, locally-inspired custom gourmet meals served in-flight to private escorts who will whisk travelers through immigration and customs, ensuring privacy and saving valuable time. “Corporate jetting through Africa provides surprising value by alleviating the constraints of commercial routes, layovers and inconvenient schedules, thereby cutting out unnecessary "en route" days and allowing those with limited leisure time a quality experience each and every day,” states Dennis Pinto, Managing Director, Micato Safaris. According to the annual Business Aviation Outlook*, the global market for private jets continues to thrive among corporations and high-net-worth individuals, even in today’s economy. Ngaire Duncan, Vice President, Business Development and Marketing, Air Partner, states, “We are thrilled to help provide Micato Safaris’ exclusive clientele with the extraordinary level of luxury and professionalism they expect from a company of Micato’s sterling reputation.” For more information or to book a Elite Jetting the African Continent Bespoke Safari, visit www.micato.com or call 1-800-MICATO-1.
