Fantastic Experience, highly recommended
5/5

From the very first email to the final wave goodbye at the airport, our journey with this incredible team was nothing short of magic. Our group of 11—spanning energetic kids, busy adults, and beloved seniors—was handled with such genuine care that every single one of us felt seen and cherished.

Simon, our guide, was the heartbeat of our adventure. He didn't just drive us from point to point; he wove stories into every mile, patiently answered a thousand questions, and made sure our seniors were comfortable while our kids were wide-eyed with wonder. He picked us up with a warm smile, navigated us seamlessly through the bush, dropped us off for our unforgettable Boma dinner under the stars, and led us along the thundering edge of Victoria Falls—where the mist kissed our faces and rainbows danced at our feet. And when it was time to leave, he delivered us to the airport not as clients, but as friends.

The helicopter ride over the Falls was a breathtaking exclamation point—soaring above the mighty Zambezi, watching the sheer curtain of water plunge into the gorge below, a perspective that left us all speechless. Then came Hwange, where elephants marched past our vehicle like ancient royalty, and Chobe, where hippos grunted in numbers, and crocodiles slid silently into the emerald waters—each safari revealing a new layer of Chobe's raw, untamed soul.

Behind it all was Tatenda, the quiet professional who orchestrated everything with grace and precision. When he surprised us with a complimentary night's upgrade, it wasn't just a nicer room—it was a gesture that told us we mattered. That extra space and comfort, especially for our seniors, was the kind of thoughtful touch that turns a great trip into a treasured lifetime memory.

To the entire team—thank you for not just hosting us, but for welcoming us into your world. This wasn't a vacation; it was a love letter to Africa, and we were lucky enough to read every page. We left with memories, full hearts, sandy shoes, and stories we'll tell for decades. Absolutely unforgettable.

Thuba was very helpful and knowledgeable.
5/5

Thuba was an outstanding guide at Victoria Falls. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to answer all of our questions. His passion for the area and its history made the experience even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great visit, pointing out the best viewpoints and sharing interesting facts throughout the tour. I highly recommend Thuba to anyone visiting Victoria Falls!

Best of the best, very highly recommended !!
5/5

Had an amazing tour experience of the Victoria Falls on both Zimbabwe and Zambian side vi Cuckoo Safaris.

The tour guides on the Zimbabwean side Mr. Brown and on the Zambian side Miss Delphister were very professional, punctual, very well organised, knowledgeable about the falls, history of the respective sides and very helpful & friendly. One of the best tour guides ever.

I would highly recommend Cuckoo Safaris to anyone considering visiting the falls and surrounds. It is very conveniently organised & tailored tour with hotel pickup and drop off, optimally priced, great communication from their team from the day of the booking till the tour finishes, completely hassle free border crossings and above all very friendly and the best guides.

5 out of 5 stars, best tour and top company, very highly recommended !!

Safari and waterfalls!
5/5

Tour summary: 4 days camping safari + 2 days boutique spa hotel in Victoria Falls.

After researching several other companies we decided to go with Cuckoo Safaris not only for their prompt and clear communication while planning the trip but their flexibility and affordability throughout. They took care of all of the logistics and booking all the experiences per the itinerary so the only thing we really needed to worry about was showing up and being prepared for a great adventure! Once the tour started they arranged for all pick-ups and drop-offs and coordinated among the various companies enabling our itinerary. That included the safari itself of course but also other adventures including a sunset safari cruise, dinner cruise (delicious!), private tour of Victoria Falls, helicopter flight, and more!

Given all of the timing and coordination involved to do everything we wanted to do it was very impressive how much they coordinated behind the scenes! We had a small scheduling issue with insufficient time to adequately tour the both sides of Victoria Falls because we personally wanted to pack in so much (including a day on our own to raft on the Zambezi) but they were more than willing to try make it work with our schedule. We also had one late pick-up that was promptly resolved and ultimately added to the adventure. We also had a few pleasant surprises with last minute upgrades to our accommodations that I'd love to elaborate on but do not want set the wrong expectations as we would have been more than satisfied with our original accommodations (though I must say we were very very happy!).
