The Soul of India
Into Innermost India
Months, years, decades could profitably be spent exploring India’s 812 million richly varietal acres. But few of us have time to follow our bliss indefinitely, so we created The Soul of India to provide a thoughtful, succinctly paced, and delightful look at some of the continent’s most eye-brightening sights.
We begin in Delhi, “always interesting to all mankind” as Ved Mehta quoted a taxi wallah as saying. Then we pay homage to the Taj, whose praises we sing throughout. We peacefully search for what is perhaps the most splendorous animal on earth in Ranthambore National Park, wander the glamorous Pink City of Jaipur, and witness intense spiritual devotion at Varanasi, “the most supremely potent pilgrimage site on earth.” We end in the supercity of Mumbai, a distillation of India’s incredible energy and ambition, its daily familiarity with and deep attachment to its many thousands of years of history.
Highlights
- The glowing grandiosity of the Taj Mahal; Jaipur’s magnificent palaces; Varanasi’s deeply affecting spiritual luminosity; and the fascinating megacity of Mumbai.

Back in 1966, Felix Pinto, one of Kenya’s most highly-regarded farmers, started a luxury safari company. As it has always been, Micato is more than just a business—it is a labour of love.
Planning Your Luxury African Safari
There is nothing like planning your first safari -there are so many opportunities for exploration and relaxation, so many ideas to consider. With a map of Africa laid out before you, the possibilities play like a movie in your mind: Rolling along a golden landscape, your eyes plying the plains for a spectacular sight.
It’s different in Micato’s Africa. Hospitality is a way of life here: travellers are welcomed like old friends by Micato founders Felix and Jane Pinto.
Every Micato programme offers more segments by air and safari trips through Africa than you might imagine possible. We include three to six time-saving flights on every safari, eliminating up to twenty hours of driving, while at the same time providing thrilling aerial views of the panoramic terrain.
