7 days/6 nights with Micato Safaris and Amboseli/Tsavo West Park with Campi ya Kanzi

About the Trip

This is as good as it gets! A deluxe safari in Kenya with Micato Safaris, in the heart of the beautiful Kenyan highlands. Fly across the dramatic Great Rift Valley and stunning Mara Escarpment into Kenya’s most famous game park, the Masai Mara National Reserve, where prides of lions share the savannah grasslands and watering holes with elephant, giraffe, buffalo, cheetah, leopard, black rhino and myriads of migrating species. This Kenyan-owned company provides world class safaris while supporting community projects, including AIDS orphanages.

Then visit Campi ya Kanzi, a safari lodge that employs only Maasai from the area. By staying at Campi ya Kanzi you will not only visit one of Kenya’s most uncharted areas, but you will play a very important role in conservation, both of wildlife and of the Maasai cultural heritage.

About Micato Safaris

Founded in 1966, Micato in Kenya is celebrating its 40th year of luxury safari outfitting. We were a family-owned company back then as we still are today. It is a source of great pride and distinction since most other well-known luxury tour companies have quietly sold out to big conglomerates in recent years.

Micato is also unique in that we specialise exclusively in Africa. Our intention has always been to offer the most enlightening, luxurious and personalised safaris possible. After all, Africa is our home and what we know and love best. It’s also where Micato’s owners, Felix and Jane Pinto, were born and live to this day. Micato has further evolved into a winning combination of African hospitality and American efficiency, with the younger Pintos having graduated from top American universities. Combined with the profound safari wisdom and insider access of the elder Pintos, it’s easy to see why Micato is repeatedly voted, “Best in the World.”

About Campi ya Kanzi - ‘Camp of the hidden treasure’

This eco-friendly lodge lies on the Chyulu Hills, in front of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Built from local materials, it uses solar technology, supplying hot water and electricity to the seven luxury tented cottages.

This 400 square mile Maasai Reserve has many different environments, with a great array of wildlife and birdlife.

Together with classic game drives, a game walk with your professional guide and Maasai tracker, approaching game on foot, will be the highlight of your safari.

Responsible eco-tourism preserves their wildlife heritage and allows the Maasai to continue their traditional way of life - more than a millennium old.
