Luxury safari guide, backcountry pro, versatile helper, fast friend, good person.

These are just a few of the words that describe the Micato Safari Directors who accompany every East Africa safari, facilitating unforgettable moments every step of the way.

But don’t just take us at our words. During our more than 50 years in business, Micato guests have shared other words — the best words — to describe Micato Safari Directors:

“Beyond excellent”
“Absolutely superb”
“Incredible human being.”
“Charm exuded.” (They are indeed charm exudors.)

On top of everything else, we’d like to assign two more words to these delightful, remarkably highly-credentialed experts in khaki: Gifted photographers.

Safari Directors Share Their Magic

Spending as much time as they do in the bush, Micato Safari Directors naturally have accumulated a lot of photographic know-how — the best times of day to capture virtually every possible safari photo in the best possible light, where to aim your camera, how to frame your shot, and much more.

When it comes to photography, Micato Safari Directors are a competitive bunch — so much so that they have regular photo contests among themselves.

But good-natured competition doesn’t stop our team from sharing their best photographic tips and tricks with each other, advice they in turn gladly pass on to all Micato guests. It’s perhaps one reason why the photos in our Micato Photo Contest for guests are so good… beyond the fact that our travellers are often gifted photographers themselves!

Did you notice our theme?

In case you didn’t catch on, the creatures in the photos herein (except for that crazy giraffe one) are all representatives of the storied Big Five. While we can’t promise you’ll see all five species, we can tell you that when you have a Micato Safari Director at your side, odds are in your favour that you’ll have opportunities to ogle these creatures and many others.

For more stellar safari director images, as well as impressive safari photos by Micato travellers, be sure to follow Micato on Facebook and Instagram.
