Overview
The Hemingway Wing Safari—a cherished favorite among Micato staff—celebrates Africa's enchanting allure while evoking the nostalgic charm of Hemingway's era. This immersive journey features three elegantly appointed tented camps that offer a touch more luxury than in Ernest's time, though he welcomed comforts with an open heart. Guests will be treated to breathtaking views of East Africa's most iconic game parks, along with a few hidden gems waiting to be uncovered. Five exhilarating flights will transport travelers through stunning landscapes, fostering an intimate connection with the diverse and magnificent beauty of the African wilderness.

This exclusive post-safari extension in Rwanda features luxurious accommodations and offers close encounters with these gentle giants, allowing travelers to connect with one of nature's most regal inhabitants.
