Our Sustainability Ethos
The future of Africa is extremely important to Micato. After all, it is not just a destination to us . . . it is our home. The Pinto family has lived in Kenya for three generations, and we have been practicing and advocating sustainable tourism since Micato was founded. More recently, we have joined with several of our partners to develop five strategic principles. These principles help to guide us in our conservation and sustainability efforts:

Engaging with Local Communities
We are accountable to the local communities in the regions in which we travel, and actively engage with and create programs to foster sustainable, authentic preservation of those communities.
