Highly recommended. Great value.
We spent 28 days with Liberty travelling around Botswana and Zimbabwe. We had 11 days in Botswana which started in the Okavango Delta with a 3 day Mokoro ride with Wild Camping and then 4 days in Moremi and Khwai. We travelled via Planet Baobab to see the Meerkats, Elephant Sands to see all the elephants at the waterhole and then to Chobe for a sunset cruise and a game drive. We then crossed the border into Zimbabwe for the next 17 days. We walked Victoria Falls before travelling to Hwange National Park for game drives, Matobo Hills National Park to walk with the Rhinos, saw the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, Vumba Mountains for Tony's Coffee Shop and Botanical Gardens, Nyanga Mountains for waterfalls, Bushman Rock Estate for wine tasting, Lake Kariba for game drive and sunset cruise and ended the safari with 3 nights along the Lower Zambezi at Mana Pools where we saw the Wild Dogs and caught a Tiger Fish. There were so many highlights along the way it is hard to say what was the best place or activity.
From the time we met at the airport until we departed the service was amazing. The itinerary was created between Liberty and ourselves and Liberty was very accommodating and open to any suggestions that we made and also helpful with any ideas he thought would improve the itinerary. It was very important to us to do everything that was on the itinerary and we managed to do it all. There were a couple of things that had to be changed during the safari and Liberty was very quick to make the changes.
We loved all the places we stayed at along with all the meals that were provided. The staff were always very pleasant and helpful and the Safari Guides were very accommodating and knowledgeable about the wildlife. We felt the safari was very good value for money and all the accommodation, activities and meals were included in the final cost of the tour.
We had some days where there was a lot of driving and it was never an issue with Liberty as he is a very careful driver and we always felt safe especially when the roads that we travelled on were either potholed or unmade. He always picked us up on time and the car was always clean. He provided a car fridge along with ice to keep the beers and soft drink cold in case it was a long drive and we were able to have a drink along the way.
Liberty's communication was first class and always replied to our messages very quickly and was very polite in his responses. Liberty has a lovely personality and a wonderful sense of humour so lots of laughs were had along the way.
We would highly recommended Cocoon Safaris and Tours to plan and organize a safari for you.

We had a wonderful and memorable 8-day safari in Zimbabwe thanks to Liberty.
The trip was well planned and organized. Each day, Liberty would make sure that everything was perfect with the rooms, the meals or the activities. He takes care of all the details so that I could just relax and enjoy the trip. We had an awesome trip visiting Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park, Matopo Hills and Great Zimbabwe. My boys had plenty of room in his vehicle to be able to sleep when moving from one venue to another. I have already recommended Cocoon Safari to my colleagues.

Honeymoon at Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls
We had a wonderful 15 day honeymoon itinerary all thanks to our amazing guide cum driver (Liberty). He’s sincere, down to earth, and always checking in on us to make sure we’re enjoying ourselves to the fullest. Despite driving us for hours each day as we travel across the country, we never once felt worried as he is a safe driver and most importantly, he doesn’t fall asleep behind the wheels.
The itinerary was well planned with awesome highlights including Mana Pools, Eastern Highlands, Matobo Hills and of course Victoria Falls.
Zimbabwe is under-rated and considered safe, so don’t hesitate to visit this amazing country. You know who to reach out. =)

Excellent Service
Liberty is a friendly big guy. We did Chobe day tour and airport transfers with him. The tour was good and the Lunch was beyond good, it had local and western food and vegetarian option too. His van was super clean and new. We were lucky that through out the journey with Liberty, we were the only tourists on board(two of us), except Chobe we need to join other tour group(abt 10ppl). Anyway its’s pretty good to meet other tourists from all over the world. We will definitely recommend Cocoon Safari to anyone! Trustable and good service, and pretty happy we chose them.

Cocoon Safaris were the best
We initially booked a Chobe Full day trip from Victoria falls with Cocoon Safaris using safaribookings.com as it was the best value out of all the operators so we weren't expecting much. However, Liberty was absolutely amazing. Not only was it a really good trip, we then planned out the remaining days of our stay in Victoria falls through him and he constantly provided good value and great service.
We went to Victoria Falls without any real plans and it ended up being the best part of our holiday thanks to Liberty. Would definitely recommend using Cocoon Safaris.

Amazing service
The customer service exceeded all our expectations. The tour operator (Liberty) not only greeted us at the airport and dropped us at the safari camp, but also made sure that we were well cared for while we were there. He took care to explain what was and wasn't included and gave us amazing tips. The tour operator even drove us around the Victoria Falls town and gave us a little impromptu tour. I would definitely trust and recommend Cocoon Safaris.
The safari itself was operated by another company, but it was great. We had morning and evening safaris. They provided coffee and snacks in the early morning before we left, and made sure the truck had thick blankets for the cold mornings and cool evenings. They showed us amazing sights and were able to spot things miles away.
