Highly recommended!
Our trip to Kenya was a really unforgettable one, courtesy of Steve and Richard's safari tour! The 4-day safari, the visit to the Massai tribe, the fishing and swimming adventures, and the Mombasa city tour -- everything was perfect! The lodges and the hotel we stayed were the best! I couldn't have asked for a better one! Thank you Steve for making our Kenya trip a very memorable experience!

My Guide Moses is hospitable, caring, professional, and reliable.
Our safari was beyond expectation. First, they've got you the best tour guide, and you'll know by yourself and from others' mouths, for a good tour guide is someone who always cares about your overall experience in and out the vehicle, not to mention that he makes sure you see those wildlife hiding in the bushes which you would definitely miss by falling asleep in the vehicle. We did see the big five and the ugly five thanks to our tour guide, and we fell asleep a lot in the vehicle. And guess what? You can't bring nothing back to your friends in your home country, right? He's got it! He took us to a Carrefour to get souvenirs in local price, not at the pricey places, and we got very good Dormans and Javahouse coffee in fair price. Second, Peter himself was hospitalble and responsible. He greeted us in his office in Nairobi, explained everything in detail on the itinerary, and got us a super heavy-duty and useful hat before the safari for each of us. Last but not least, he is very reachable. I think this is the most important thing when you are in a foreign country that you always know who to contact when you need something, urgent or not, and he is there. Highly recommended Pavillion Safaris overall.

Simply excellent!
Cayleigh planned the perfect safari for us! The safari and tour following were exactly what we wanted. Rockfig was an amazing luxury experience that allowed us to see the big 5 and so much more. Our trip with Discover Africa was worth every penny!

I had a lucky trip and see everything, total worth it! recommend everyone to come.
I sought to find a reliable safari operator, so I chatted with several online. Nicola from Parrot Safari provided the promptest response, competitive pricing, and thoughtful follow-up advice. Ultimately, I booked a six-day safari. It was a group tour, and I was fortunate to be paired with four friendly companions – our journey proved thoroughly enjoyable.
Patrick served as our guide. He was highly experienced, seemed to know everyone along the route, and knew precisely where to spot wildlife! Under Patrick's guidance, we spotted the Big Five and dozens of other wildlife species. He also showed genuine respect for the animals, which aligned perfectly with our own values. Each day brought fresh surprises. The meals provided were delicious, mostly featuring fresh local ingredients – we particularly enjoyed the lamb and chicken. I was thoroughly satisfied with this safari experience. For the price paid, it exceeded my expectations, so I'm awarding it five stars.

An unforgettable safari experience with Cuckoo Safaris and our amazing guide, Simon
We’ve just returned from a fantastic trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana, organized by Cuckoo Safaris, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. Everything was impeccably arranged, from logistics and accommodation to the activities and the carefully chosen routes.
One of the biggest highlights of this journey was without a doubt our guide, Simon. He was not only an excellent guide, but also a wonderful person—professional, attentive, passionate about his work, and always ready to share fascinating information about nature, wildlife, and local culture. We felt safe, well taken care of, and constantly inspired by his stories and explanations. His presence made the entire experience truly special.
The accommodations were very good, comfortable, and thoughtfully selected, each with its own charm—from lodges with stunning views to peaceful places right in the heart of nature. The activities proposed by Cuckoo Safaris were varied and well-balanced: exciting game drives, walks through reserves, cultural experiences, and visits to spectacular locations. Every day brought something new and memorable.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Cuckoo Safaris for their professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. And if you’re lucky enough to have Simon as your guide, you’re in for a truly authentic, enriching, and unforgettable experience.
It was a wonderful journey—one we will never forget!

Almost every leg of the itinerary was filled with excitement and surprise. starting from the airport. 2nd day game drive with Nixon was excellent, and the bush dinner was a great experience. 3rd day morning river cruise in a boat on Chobe river with July as our guide was amazing. We seen hippo, croc, big herd of elephants and the beautiful scenery, Thanks to July experience navigation on the river. We are all thrilled. Very important, bring child birth cert if traveling with them. Custom Legal requirements to prevent child trafficking in Africa. Overall a very enjoyable and satisfied holiday with family.

Fantastic service from a brilliant company!
Kajie Safaris provided the most exceptional service. Everything from the communication before the trip through to the trip itself. Eddie our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and could not have done more for us. Everyday was well planned out and all the accommodation was excellent and the food was superb. Seeing the gorillas was an absolute highlight but really the whole trip was amazing. I could not recommend this company more. If you’re looking for a company to use in Uganda then use Kajie!
