Well organised and friendly
This trip was amazing from the moment we were collected from the airport until we were dropped off. Our driver Lewis and guide Simon were very friendly and genuinely seemed interested in us personally as well as asking us our priorities of what we wished to see the most. My dietary needs were catered for every day . (except for lactose free milk which seemed to be unheard of in any part of the country). The accommodation was clean with very friendly staff.
Each day we were collected promptly and the tours were absolutely wonderful. The days are long and very good value for money. We saw so much wildlife close up both from the vehicles and from the boat trip. This was the trip of my childhood dreams and it came true.

Very knowledgeable and friendly!
The tour was very informative. The family at the homestead was welcoming and we had adequate time to ask questions. It is a great opportunity to learn more about the culture outside of the touristy areas.

The tour operator was efficient and planned our trip extremely well, ensuring our needs were met.
We booked a 9-day tour so we had several guides throughout our stay in Africa. All guides were well informed and very pleasant. We saw the Big 5 and the Ugly 5! We were beyond excited about each of our game drives! The lodges we stayed at were gorgeous and extremely comfortable. Camping for 5 nights was definitely an adventure but the beds were comfortable and we had en-suite restrooms with our tents. The Camp staff were amazing! Food was always delicious and our accommodations were always comfortable. I have never slept that well! The cost was what we expected and was reasonable for our accommodations throughout the 9-day tour. Thank you for the experience!

Great operator when touring Victoria Falls especially as a solo traveller
Victoria Falls is a beautiful and vast. Having Brown (on the Zimbabwean side) and Lucky (on the Zambian side) as your guides made it easy for me to experience it in all its splendour. They were informative, knew where the best views, advised when we approaching slippery areas and took really great care of me. I felt safe, which is so important when you are a solo traveller. They also took amazing pictures of me. Thank you! I highly recommend the team, not only for to Victoria Falls, but for any tours in and around the area.

Felt like coming home, walking and talking with a dear friend. Thuba was a phenomenal host and tour.
If you are looking for a life changing experience this is it. Our tour was worth so much more than we could measure numerically. If there is a way to measure the satisfaction of one's soul after the Victoria Falls tour you would find us extremely satisfied and would happily do it every other weekend if we could. Thuba, you are a wonderful soul, stay blessed

Outstanding Tour of Chobe, Victoria Falls, Hwange and Matobo. Highly Recommend!
From the moment we arrived in Victoria Falls to our final day of the Safari, our guide for Cuckoo Safari, Simon was always on time, extremely communicative and set my wife and I up for our best vacation ever.
Our opening Dinner Cruise on the Zambezi River, was a great enticement of what was to come. The food was presented elegantly, and the quality phenomenal!
The accommodations provided exceeded expectations, and the service and staff at the lodges that Cuckoo Safari selected for our trip was also above expectations. From the rooms to the meals provided, we never had to worry about a thing and were never disappointed.
Transportation provided between each of the parks was well communicated and was always on time. The stories and information about African Culture, about the parks and animals and about food that Simon told, were thought provoking and entertaining and will be moments that will stay with us forever.
The guides that toured us at the National Parks that Cuckoo Safari connected with, also went above and beyond to give the best experience to what you wanted to see. Knowing that no animal interaction is guaranteed and is by chance only, our guides at all the parks were knowledgeable, connected with other guides in the parks and professional at all times. Chatting with other travelers on safaris, not with Cuckoo Safari, I summarized that we had better interactions in the parks with animals because our guides took us further and deeper in areas that got us more interactions. This made our trips to Chobe, Hwange and Matobo legendary! We saw the "Big 5" Lion, Buffalo, Elephant, Leopard and Rhino. But we also saw, Jackal, Cheetah, African Wild Painted Dog, Black Mamba, Banded Mongoose, Kudu, Antelopes, Wildebeest, Giraffes, Hippopotamus, Baboons, Monkeys, Zebra, Waterbuck, Bushbuck, Warthog, Water Monitor, Nile Crocodile, so many birds and many more that I cannot recount. Many of these were not just a one time but multiple time interaction. The closeness we got to the animals was also, very unexpected. We were a long shadows length away for Lions, Elephants, Rhino, Crocs, Cheetah and many more. It was incredible!
When looking to book a safari group in Africa, I highly recommend you put Cuckoo Safari at the top of your list.

Responsible, reliable and attentive to detail. Made extra effort so our trip was perfect.
After telling Cuckoo Safari of our desired activities and destinations, they drew up a great itinerary for me and my husband. Everything was perfect - the activities, the transport between destinations, the accommodation and also our tour operator. It was an unforgettable Safari experience.
I really appreciate the attentiveness and professional of Simon, the tour operator, who drove us between the locations and could share a lot about the history, culture and wildlife. My husband and I always felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip.

Professional, friendly and attentive
We did a nice on week trip where we got to see Victoria falls, the Chobe national park, the Kalahari desert and the Okavango Delta. We enjoyed every moment of it and were in awe at what we see in terms of nature and animals.
The accomodations and tour logistics were very good and we had a wonderful time. We would happily book with them again.
