Cuckoo Safaris went above and beyond all our expectations
This is the first tour we have taken that didn't consider picking up at the airport and transferring us to our hotel to be day 1. After giving us several hours to freshen up and rest, they took us on a relaxing sunset cruise down the Zambezi river which included very nice refreshments & snacks. All our guides were great but Thuba was particularly amazing, sharing his love of wildlife, knowledge of the culture and facts about Victoria Falls & the area. He also assisted me with taking stunning pictures of the falls! I appreciated his patience & friendliness. The tour of Chobe National Park & boat cruise on the Chobe river (separated by a enjoyable buffet lunch) were sensational seeing diverse animals including a mating pair of lions at rest and majestic breeding herds of elephants at play in the water! The cultural village visit and sunset safari including a bush BBQ were also very nice! Our accommodations at the Dzimbahwe Guest Lodge were very comfortable and enjoyable. We would highly recommend this tour company to enjoy parts of Zimbabwe, Zambia & Botswana

Above and beyond to Langelihle Tshuma and Absolom.
Both of our guides took their time to make sure our experience with them was special. We wanted to do the Sundown Cruise and tried to book online but found it wasn't available on our free day. We had booked the Afternoon Safari drive. Langelihle helped us switch to the Morning Game Drive at very short notice so we were able to do the Sundown Cruise. Absolom was a great guide on safari. Really wanted to see the Elephants, but were told they had been somewhat elusive recently. However Absolom's knowledge of the park led to us being able to find 2 Elephant. Both guides turned up for us in good time.

Amazing organisation
Booked a 5 days package ( Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana ), with a stay at the Pioneers Lodge.
Tatenda ( my contact at the agency ) helped me chose the right package (visit to the falls, night and day safari, transport by van, jeep and boat ), and everything was so well organised. A real professional !
Simon ( our guide during our stay ) was the best: careful driver, fantastic guide, helpful and always with a smile.
Both of them made this trip unforgettable and all of us hope to come back one day !

Magnificent Time!
You have to do this tour and we could not have had a better guide! Thuba was an instant friend, almost family member by the end of the tour. He was funny, kind and so full of knowledge of the area and history of the country that it made things extra special. The sights were spectacular as you’d expect, we made memories that will last forever even more so with the personal touch from our wonderful guide.

A legend!
It was our first time in Africa & Zimbabwe, and Shelton made the experience 100x better. His knowledge, his kindness and photography skills are second to none!
I highly recommend this tour group!!!!

Curtain trail
We had a wonderful experience on the guided tour to Victoria Falls. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the guides from both the Zim side (Thuba) and Zambian side (Mike) were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout. The explanations were clear and informative, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the views and take photos. Overall, the tour ran smoothly and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Victoria Falls.

Great travel agency to coordinate tours!
Really enjoyed how easy it was to book. I wish there was initial insights into the logistics, we didn’t know every day would be a different tour guide and the plans changed a bit which was fine but would have been nice to know before. Our guides were all amazing! Loved the diversity of types of tour. Highly recommend any tour that also has a helicopter tour, that was such an incredible and unique experience. Cuckoo was very responsive with questions and coordinating logistics. Simon was wonderful, super helpful and had great information. I highly recommend cuckoo - made our lives easier knowing we didn’t have to coordinate logistics
