An absolutely amazing experience, perfectly orchestrated by the Cuckoo Safaris team from pick up to
Our guide, Simon, was exceptional. Punctual, knowledgeable and constantly going out of his way to ensure our trip was perfect. Our initial contact, Tatenda and the game drive guide, Milton, were excellent as well. Would book with Cuckoo Safaris again in a heartbeat. An amazing experience and great value all around.

Victoria Falls and Chobe trip
Cuckoo Safari was very patient with our group plan changes several times and it was very easy to communicate via email with quick responses
They were very promptly with pickup time
We were very pleased with Tatenda that he followed up with trip daily via whatsApp
The whole trip went smoothly. I would give 5/5 but because the trip to Victoria Falls wasn’t specify the duration and verbally stated that it’ll be at our own pace. Unfortunately we were rushed while the group was having lunch, therefore suggest you need to put the duration in writing and the tour need to mention about the poncho or raincoat to Victoria Falls wasn’t part of the package and need to tell the rental price in advance. When we talked to the other travelers at the lodge and they said their tour provided the poncho so I mentioned it to Simmon our tour guide and he provided the poncho to our group with no extra charge. Thanks Simmon for that
You can pay via credit card
I would use this company again in the future

friendly and organized!
Our experience with Cuckoo Safaris was great! Everything was on time and organized. Simon and Tatenda were great hosts, so friendly, reliable, and informative. They made sure my vegetarian diet was accommodated and both safari days they organized for us were amazing experiences with great guides. We saw plenty of elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras, and lion cubs! The tour was a good value. I would book with them again!

Professional, polite, quick to respond, aims to please.
I called and requested three days' worth of activities. I told the operator what we wanted, and they were able to accommodate our request and make additional suggestions to keep us busy all day! The entire team from office staff and our guide were great to work with and flexible.

A perfect Tour partner . Highly trustworthy and Reliable
At First i was a bit hesitant traveling to Africa with a 06 year old as we knew none and has no idea about the place other than the photos on the internet and some reviews from other travelers. After several searches on the internet , i received an email from Cuckoo Safaris addressed by Mr Tatenda Tarzan. The few emails and one phone call to Mr Tarzan had put an end to my search and gave me confidence that they could take care of my trip .
Cuckoo safaris is a Team of young, educated and dedicated locals who definitely are professionals and know their job. Right from the time we landed in Vic falls , through out and till the end of my trip, the team was always checking up on us and making sure that we are comfortable and enjoying our trip . The first day up on checkin , we were not happy about the Room allocated and which was reported to Tatenda . The same night , they managed to upgrade our room ensured that we weren’t facing any discomfort . They have excellent tie-ups with their partners like luxury sunset cruise, chobe NP, Bungee Jump, MJ Helicopters, Vic falls tours. They have also arranged a complementary Village tour which was requested last min and made that happen which gave us an opportunity to meet the locals and donate some essentials
Mr Simon was the Guide throughout and was a very friendly , knowledgeable and accommodating person . 10/10 for his patience and kindness. This guy is informative and ask him any question about his country and land he was born.
I will not forget to mention Mr Lewis who has been our driver during the first two days and he would like to keep telling us everything he knew about the place . He never keeps quiet and let us be during the drive .
Overall , we had a very pleasant and stress free, a very Happy and exciting trip to Vic Falls . Cuckoo safari made it feel so easy and relaxed holiday. The pickups were never late and we never had a moment waiting for something or someone. Excellent service!! On time, well planned, safe and organized experience. Well done Team. And Thankyou ****.

Cuckoo Safaris goes above and beyond to make sure your adventure is amazing!
My son took me to Africa for my 70th birthday. We started in Zimbabwe at Victoria Falls and a helicopter tour, then Chobe National Park for river Safari and game drive. Next to Elephant Sands for the elephants and a game drive. We then stopped at Planet Baobab for the Baobab trees and a game drive. The next day we travelled to Maun for a helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta a a full day safari at Moremi National Park. We had a busy 9 days and Cuckoo Safaris made sure everything went flawlessly! Simon was always available for any questions or concerns we had and went above and beyond went well. I’d highly recommend them for any travel planning you might need.

Incredible hosts, great itinerary, details all perfectly attend to - you have to book with Cuckoo
Hi everyone. Well traveled 41 year old American male. Hired Cuckoo Safaris to coordinate the trip of a lifetime, beginning in Victoria Falls and crossing Botswana. The trucks were first rate, everyone speaks perfect English, the game drive guides were incredibly helpful and wanted us to have a great time. Nothing is spared - so many game drives, the food was excellent everywhere, very comfortable stays. We did Elephant Sands, Moremi, Chobe, and others on boats, helicopters, and 4x4s. Everything was great, I am super thankful.
Everything is reliable, everyone super professional, excellent value for your money and most importantly - my father felt very safe, very comfortable, and we saw every animal you could dream of. I have experienced many tour companies and Cuckoo is at the top of the list.
Simon and Tatenda are true professionals, always with smiles, always looking out for your interests. Book with them, they made the trip of my dad's dreams happen!

Great tour operators with quick response times and convenient booking process!
Cuckoo was quick to respond to our last minute request for a tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe! They were fairly priced and did a good job setting us up with guides and local operators in Zimbabwe and Botswana.

Thanks for trip! Very pleasant guys ☺️ they help us with bad room and were on phone every day before
All was good
Only one moment: they didn't say about very bad course of South Africa money in this country. You need only dollars or euro, it's important
