An Unforgettable Adventure Through Zimbabwe and Botswana
We had the most incredible 16\-day tour through Zimbabwe and Botswana, perfectly organized from beginning to end. Everything ran smoothly—from our very first contact to the many flexible adjustments and even spontaneous last-minute changes. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt completely supported and well looked after.
Zimbabwe and Botswana are breathtakingly beautiful, authentic countries, filled with incredibly warm and welcoming people and extraordinary wildlife. The entire team was fantastic Thuba, Simon, and Brown from Cuckoo were absolutely outstanding—professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and always incredibly friendly. The same applies to all the other drivers who were organized for us. Every single person contributed to making our journey so special.
The absolute highlight was our five-day camping safari in Moremi. Being surrounded by untouched wilderness, sleeping in the heart of the bush, and experiencing the wildlife at such close range was something we will never forget.
A big thank-you once again to SafariBookings for putting us in touch with this wonderful company. And Tatenda, a thousand thanks for your incredible commitment, flexibility, dedication, and personal support throughout our journey. You went above and beyond to make this trip truly exceptional.
Please keep doing what you do and continue showing many more people the unbelievable beauty of Zimbabwe and Botswana, the warmth and kindness of their people, and the breathtaking nature and wildlife.
Thank you for an adventure filled with unforgettable moments and stories that we will cherish and tell for the rest of our lives!

Just go with them for a perfect holiday
Our 4-night, 5-day trip across Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana with cukoo Safaris was absolutely flawless from start to finish. If you are planning a trip to the region, book with them without hesitation—they are professional, reliable, and deeply honest. From the moment Blessing picked us up at the airport to our final departure drop-off, the coordination was seamless. With an ambitious itinerary involving multiple border crossings, transfers, and activities—a Zambezi River sunset cruise, guided tour of Victoria Falls, helicopter flight, a full-day safari in Chobe National Park (Botswana), and a final evening game drive with a bush dinner—every single pickup was prompt to the minute. Every driver and tour partner already had our names on hand, making a complex schedule feel effortless.
The guides were outstanding, passionate, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. Across our game drives, we saw rhinos, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and plenty of hippos. The aerial views from the helicopter flight over Victoria Falls were unforgettable. Cukoo Safaris delivers top-tier service, transparent communication, and authentic hospitality. I would blindly recommend them to anyone visiting Southern Africa!

Amazing experience
We had an unforgettable morning at Victoria Falls. First a helicopter trip, which was supercool, then a walking tour of the falls, followed by lunch at the Lookout Cafe.
Our guide, Brown, was very jolly and really added to the experience with his knowledge and friendliness.
Thanks very much, we had a great time!

Well organised
Tatenda at the office provided a special itinerary for us. All communications and payments went smoothly. Tatenda our driver was very friendly and professional and we felt safe in his hands driving along the very rough roads. The accomodation and activities were fantastic. Thank you for a great holiday. We would recommend this tour operator for your holiday in Botswana.

Excellent experience, particularly on the (perhaps underrated) Zambia side
My mom and I did a full day tour of both sides of the falls and then a city tour of Livingstone, Zambia and I’d recommend this. For the Zimbabwe side of the falls guide Thube was great and very generous with his photography skills, and then guide Delphister for the Zambia side was fantastic - informative about the falls and also generous about taking photos, and then Delphister really shone in Livingstone where she took us through the museum and then about an hour long walking tour in town. She shared lots of local knowledge and was the epitome of patient with the stops in town. Absolute recommend the Zambia elements of this tour in particular and I think it’s so worth seeing both side of the falls. The Livingstone museum was so great too. Overall good value for money in the moderately expensive Vic Falls area and a reliable tour. Help for our first time at the Zam/Zim border was nice to have. Have fun!

The great adventure
As we embarked on our five day tour visiting four counties (Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia), the anticipation was high. Our group consisted of seven persons and everyone was blown away! We started at Victoria Falls, led by two knowledgeable tour guides. One on the Zimbabwe side and other guide on the Zambia side. The waterfall was absolutely breathtaking! We strongly recommend you to bring a change of clothes because the mist is actually a rain shower on the Zambia side...LOL. Our journey took us to Botswana, where we had a morning boat ride safari excursion that was a different view from the traditional jeep ride. There were many times that we believed our tour guide was too close to the hippo and crocodile but we lived on the edge and the photos that we captured were truly amazing pieces of art work! The next day in Botswana, we went to the game drive to see the lions. That excursion started at 6AM and as we watched the sun rise. WE were able to locate lions. Words cannot describe the feeling that we all experienced during that excursion. We were off to Namibia, where we went to visit the Impilia Island and took a tour of the village led by a native. We were meet by the Impalilan dancers and a bobo tree that was over thousand years old. It was an amazing journey that we will cherish and highly recommend to anyone who loves adventure and nature.
