How to pick the right operator (quick checklist)

• Style & budget: luxury (Micato, Singita, A&K, &Beyond) vs small‑group / mid‑range (Intrepid, Go2Africa, Natural World). (micato.com)
• Conservation & community: look for operators with on‑the‑ground conservation programs and community partnerships (Wilderness, Asilia, many luxury brands). (en.wikipedia.org)
• Private vs scheduled: private safaris cost more but offer flexibility; scheduled small groups are cheaper and social. (micato.com)
• Reviews & awards: check recent Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, and guest reviews for the latest quality signals. (micato.com)

If you want, I can:

• Narrow this to a short list for a specific country (Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda).
• Compare 2–3 companies side‑by‑side for the same itinerary (price range, style, conservation creds).
• Find local Egypt‑based agents or recommended regional offices to help with bookings from Cairo.
