Testimonials

If Richard Engle were running for office, he’d win in a landslide—everyone at Micato Safaris is crazy about him.

Luckily for us, he’s not a politician but a top-notch, top-producing luxury travel advisor. His areas of expertise dovetail perfectly with our core speciality: luxury African safaris. Add to that the fact that our safari specialists adore working with him—for the grace and ease with which he conducts business, an attention to detail that we understand and admire, and a genuine love for what he does. What appreciative, well-travelled clients he brings to us. They rightfully entrust their leisure travel to him completely, and for good reason: the success of their travels is always foremost in his mind.

Richard and his team are, quite frankly, the best in the travel industry. They are a pleasure to work with, diligent, yet personable. Extremely knowledgeable, yet humble. Can’t say enough great things about this team. They are as classy as they are fun, and are genuinely great people!

Richard and his staff have been instrumental in the successful planning of all of our international family trips over the past several years. With 2 young children, it was essential that the trip itineraries included not only family oriented excursions/logistics but kid-friendly docents. We have been blown away by the high quality of docents and associated activities curated by Richard's team. Richard and his partners all over the world have truly made each one of our vacations a stunning and one-of-a-kind experience. Their accommodation of a wide range of budgets and logistics is so appreciated. And their choice of partnerships with each city we visited made us feel like we were really immersed in the local culture and life. I have no reservations about referring friends and family to Richard because I know his team will take good care of them.

Eleven years ago our family had the good fortune to be introduced to Richard Engle and his team by one of their clients. We asked them to give us options on a special month-long trip to numerous locations in Europe. The options they gave us were just what we wanted, and they arranged every detail—the flights, ground transportation, hotels with perfect rooms, tours and sightseeing recommendations, restaurants, and even finding a lost piece of luggage. All we had to do was enjoy our time together in the wonderful places they recommended. Since that trip Richard’s Team has planned and arranged over ten trips for us, all of them with the same great service. Any help we needed during the trips, night or day, was available through Richard and his team. They have consistently proven to us that they are knowledgeable, dedicated and reliable professionals who always do their jobs with a friendly, personal touch. We will not use anyone else for our travel needs and we highly recommend them to anyone who travels.
