Professional and friendly!
They understood very well our needs, what we expected from the trip and customised it for us.
The different transfers were perfectly timed, always on time, always with a smile and good conversation with us.
The planning was perfect, starting with Victoria Falls and then increasing the safaris in time and importance. We are glad we met them. It was an amazing time!

Great experience exceeding our expectations
We booked the 6 day tour including Chobe National Park, Makgadikgadi and Okavango Delta. We did a lot of research and ended up booking with cuckoo safari based on their previous reviews and the itinerary that suited our trip, taking us to different parts of Botswana. The booking process was easy and communication with them was quick. We didn't really know what to expect and just went along, and everything worked out great and exceeded any expectations! No hick ups at all, everything went very smooth - from the transfers to the hotels to the different tour operators that were used along the way. (Local tour operators are used, which is a good thing as they have the best knowledge of the area) Each day offered new experiences. Simon and Tatenda joined us for a few days and made sure we were comfortable. All in all a great tour where you can just ride along, everything else is taken care of.
Superb, Reliable, and Responsive
Superb, reliable, and responsive tour operator. Answers questions quickly and helpfully—always within 24 hours and usually almost immediately. Gave is wonderful advice on activities and charges the best prices for a quality experience. Felt taken care of the entire way. Don’t hesitate to retain Cucukoo—you will not be disappointed.

Good itinerary organised by Simon and Tatenda who were very helpful and communicative throughout
We went on the Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia trip - great, varied itinerary over a such a short period of time and collecting four stamps in your passport!
Everyone involved in the entire process were great - on time, reliable and knowledgable. The two hotels were lovely and appropriate for the cost.
Thanks Tatenda and Simon!

Figo was a great tour guide that provided us 3 women with friendly, prompt, exceptional service.
Figo was very knowledgeable, went above & beyond to accommodate our every need. We mentioned that we’d like to get carry out dinner at a nearby restaurant. Figo took us there at the end of a long day of sight seeing, waited for us & returned us to our lodge. We highly recommend him as a guide.

Simon was punctual, friendly & honored every little request we made. He told us all about his country, customs & culture even personalizing it by sharing his own wedding customs for us😊

Well-organized and executed trips with amazing guides
We did an 8-day Victoria Falls/Chobe/Makgadikgadi/Okavango Delta trip with Cuckoo Safaris. We picked Cuckoo because we thought they offered the best itinerary and had great reviews. While arranging the trip, Tatenda was very responsive and helped us put together the perfect itinerary—the whole process was very smooth and very well executed. Simon was our main guide throughout the trip, arranging our transportation and checking in on us everyday during the trip. He was an excellent guide and a wonderful human being. He was always on time and very reliable. He gave us an amazing tour of Victoria Falls, always kept us informed of the next steps, and accommodated to our needs. We felt very lucky to have had him as a guide. Our local guides throughout the trip were also wonderful. Our main constructive feedback is regarding the lodges. The Victoria Falls location, Shongwe Lodge, was an excellent lodge with amazing food. However, the quality of the lodges went down as the trip went further. Having said that, it was overall an amazing experience, thank you Cuckoo Safaris and Simon for making our honeymoon such a special experience!
