Travel+Leisure wrote that Micato treats guests like "well-loved, out-of-town relatives." This has been true since 1966, when Felix and Jane Pinto started Micato out of their home in Kenya. Now a world-renowned name, Micato remains a family-run company, and our travellers still join the Pintos for a meal at their home when they pass through Nairobi. As it has always been, Micato is more than just a business—it is a labour of love.

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: I'm with you, kid. Let's go.

"We were on a camel ride and our guides pointed out a lion and leopard in a tree. We drove to it and saw that the leopard evidently had been wounded by lions and chased up there. But the leopard ended up getting away. Whew!"

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.

As December dawns and zebra roam, we hail creatures of all stripes and the possibility they bring to our golden plains.

If you’re among the lucky few who see a lion in this pie, congratulations! It's a sign you’re destined to join Micato on safari one day soon.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

Agreeing to disagree: A notion in vogue at Thanksgiving dinners, invented eons ago on the plains of Micato's Africa.

Family is the foundation of the coming week. In Micato's Africa, it's the foundation of everything.

Travel safely, friends!

From the moment we welcome you to Micato's Africa, all meals are included. And on a private Micato Custom Safari, you may dine at any restaurant you wish and order anything on the menu.⁠
⁠
We mention all this because Condé Nast Traveller readers recently named Cape Town the #1 World's Best City for Food, and when you travel with the Travel+Leisure 10-Time #1 World's Best Safari Outfitter (that's us), you'll have singular adventures--and meals--guided by your Micato Safari Director, with you every step of the way in Southern Africa.⁠
⁠
On to the photos: After taking in this lovely panoramic shot of Cape Town, enjoy the splendid haute cuisine at the Mount Nelson hotel and tea time at the One&Only Cape Town. At both places, Micato will make the reservation, arrange your car, and pick up the tab. If you're an oenophile, we offer some of the world's best wine country.⁠
⁠
Other experiences beckon in and around Cape Town: Meeting the beloved Boulders Beach penguins, and if you're lucky, spying ostriches herding their chicks near Table Mountain.⁠
⁠
Finally, an experience you can only have with us: Micato-AmericaShare’s educational outreach in East Africa inspired us to find a community in South Africa where we could have a lasting impact. We chose Red Hill, a community south of Cape Town. It’s here that we established the Red Hill Library and Community Centre. Computer classes, creative writing workshops, knitting circles, and other activities are available to the community. A treasured Micato guest experience here is reading with the community’s younger children. Watching their faces light up will light up your soul.⁠
⁠
If you like what you see, we'd love to arrange a private Custom Safari or introduce you to the Jewels of Southern Africa. Have your travel advisor get in touch or contact us: https://www.micato.com/contact/
