I would always travel with them.
This is the second year we’ve traveled with them. Last year was fantastic—we thought it couldn't be topped. We had fond memories of the whole team: Tatenda, Simon, Figo...
Well, they’ve outdone themselves. Simon accompanied us from Victoria Falls, and he is the best guide in the world. It was a really nice touch that they assigned him to us. The service was exquisite; he was always smiling, professional, and attentive. The organization was excellent, as was everyone's attitude.
I plan to come back, and I’ll certainly do it with them.
Thanks, guys!!!!

Excellent and very professional
We were collected and later returned to our hotel, but in the mean time we were escorted through the boarder procedure and collected by our guide Cilo who gave us the most informative walking tour of the falls. We were given lots of time and shown the best spots to take the most memorable photographs. In time we were taken to the helicopter for a airborne view of the falls which is a must do.
Then lunch and back to the boarder for the drive home. This was all faultless from start to finish. Brilliant.

We've gone on safari again with Cuckoo and everything was great. Excellent service, punctuality, good accommodation and activities and quick responses regardless of the time.
We would definitely do it again.

Amazing experience
We booked the 4-Day Victoria Falls & Chobe NP Safari for Couples with Cuckoo Safaris and came away with some truly wonderful memories.
We really enjoyed the sunset cruise on the Zambezi. The scenery was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the lovely people looking after us on board made the evening even more enjoyable.
Victoria Falls was absolutely spectacular. Even though we visited during the dry season, the Falls were breathtaking and the experience exceeded our expectations.
A very special mention goes to Sunshine, our guide on the Zimbabwe side. She planned our route thoughtfully so that we could make the most of our time and enjoy the Falls at their best. She was warm, attentive and genuinely enthusiastic about making our visit special. Sunshine truly lives up to her name — she really is a ray of sunshine! ☀️
Seeing Victoria Falls from the air during the helicopter flight was another wonderful experience and gave us a completely different perspective of the Falls and the surrounding landscape. The views from above were spectacular. Our pilot was excellent and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the flight. It was quite windy that day, but he handled the helicopter so smoothly that we barely felt it. It was a beautiful experience and one we would definitely recommend.
Our visit to Chobe National Park in Botswana was another unforgettable experience. The boat safari was particularly special, and we have to mention July, who was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, highly skilled and clearly knew the river and its wildlife extremely well. Because we were in a small boat, we were able to get incredibly close to the animals — at one point, we were less than two metres from a crocodile!
The most magical moment came when a group of elephants entered the water and crossed the river. July knew exactly where to position the boat, giving us an incredible view without disturbing the animals. Watching the elephants cross the Chobe River from so close was one of those moments we will remember for a very long time.
Our accommodation was comfortable and clean, and the room was tastefully decorated.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience and one we would definitely recommend. The one area where we feel there is room for improvement is communication with guests. We would have appreciated a little more proactive communication, particularly regarding the daily arrangements and pick-up times. For example, on one evening we had to contact the team ourselves to find out what time we would be collected the following morning, as this had apparently been overlooked. Similarly, before our arrival, we had not received any recent information about the arrangements, so the day before the tour we reached out ourselves to make sure everything was confirmed and that someone would be waiting for us.
These were relatively small details compared with the overall experience, but a little more proactive communication and a few additional personal touches would make an already wonderful trip feel even more seamless and special.
We returned home with beautiful memories of Victoria Falls, the Zambezi and Chobe. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our experience, and especially to Sunshine and July, who truly made it unforgettable. ❤️
