The Company

Founded in 1966 by Felix and Jane Pinto, Micato is still family-run, with a Safari Director on every safari, every gratuity included, and a child sent to school for every guest on safari.

Safari Directors

One for One

For every guest on safari, Micato sends an African child to school, through its One for One Commitment.
