Cuckoo tours, Best tour experience in Zimbabwe and surrounding regions
Cuckoo safaris provided wonderful service and value for our stay in Zimbabwe. We were held up for 2 hours in arrivals but the office was able to alter our arrangements to make sure we got to our sunset river cruise on time. Our driver Lewis did everything possible to make sure our time here was fabulous, he went out of his way to be friendly and helpful. Our Chobe park experience was amazing, our driver, Gift, showed us many animals close up. Our guides around Victoria falls Sheldon and Martha were very informative and interesting. Simon was interesting, he drove us to Boma which was a fun night. We stayed at Dzimbabwe lodge, our room was really comfortable and the staff lovely. Tambi was especially friendly and Mike at the bar was helpful too. Would highly recommend this company, their staff, activities and accommodation choices.

Absolutely incredible
The best Vic Falls tour operator. Incredible service from the start. A trustworthy company with valuable knowledge of the area offering amazing activities for the whole family. If you want a highly enjoyable trip with the best look no further than Tatenda and his
brilliant team. I will only book with them going forward knowing we are in safe hands. Ten stars !

An amazing holiday with nature and culture
As a solo traveler I really enjoyed this tour and the comfortable accommodations. The itinerary is just the right amount of activity and down time, which gave me the flexibility to book additional activities like white water rafting and a massage. Cuckoo safaris was very attentive to my needs and everyone I interacted with was kind and professional. The cultural village tour was a great way to learn more about how the local villagers live and dinner at The Boma was a fun way to end my last night of the trip. Shout-out to Simon who helped ensure that I had the best time and handled all of the extra logistics (and my many questions!) I definitely recommend this tour for solo travelers or families!

Victoria Falls Highlights
I joined a 5 days tour in Victoria Falls and Chobe area. It was everything well organized, giving me the chance to see and enjoy the main highlights of the region! Special mention for my driver Simon, who was arranging everything perfectly!

Cuckoo is a professional tour operator that delivers a luxary experience at a competitive price
We found our 7 day trip with Cuckoo Safaris to be an incredible value. Traveling to this area is not cheap. However, Cuckoo gives you a very competitive price while also providing excellent service. Prior to traveling, Cuckoo answered all our questions in a very timely fashion. The trip itself was well organized. We visited Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, Hwange National Park, and Matobo National Park. Each park has it's own character and was a different experience from the previous spot. The hotels and lodges that we stayed at were excellent. Luxurious with great food. Finally, our guide Simon made sure that our trip went as smoothly as possible He was in constant commnication with us via WhatsApp and was able to accomodate all of our last minute whims while still keeping us on schedule. All in all, I would definately recommend Cuckoo Safaris to anyone who wants an individual tour at a reasonable price.

Organised, friendly and prepared.
No words......only emotion: joy, gratitude and serenity.
I'm grateful for opportunities: to travel, meet people and expand my worldviews and perceptions.
Thank you Cuckoo Safaris @cuckooafricasafaris Martha Nsokoshi Ndumba Mike and Shelton Kadoko, you are truly exceptional. Thank you so much for turning complex border post processes into a simple exercise. 🙌
10 out 10 to you. Thank you! 👏The Zim and Zam tour is a must. It's good value for money. Please include a visit to the Lookout Cafe, that would be the 🍒 on the cake.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience with Simon
We booked an 11 day tour that took us through Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana. Simon was a perfect guide for our family of six. He explained the transfers and handoffs from one experience or border crossing to another so we weren’t left surprised. On some of our longer drives he took time to explain the culture unique to each area. Our excursions, river cruises, and safaris were all amazing.

A wonderful trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana’!
We did a 9 day trip of Victoria falls, Chobe, Makgadigadi and Okavango with cuckoo safaris and it was fantastic!
They were very responsive from the start of the planning phase till the end of trip. The guides and drivers were friendly and professional. All the arrangements were great.
We took road transport between places and the vehicles were well maintained and comfortable. The accommodations at Victoria falls, Chobe and Planet Baobad were excellent.
They offer reasonable pricing and great service. They partner with sister companies in Botswana and that worked without any hiccups. I would highly recommend Cuckoo safaris for anyone looking for a great and stress free trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana!

Once in a lifetime experience!
Tatenda and his team were beyond amazing. They were extremely responsive, organised the best experiences for me based on my needs and what I wanted to see across Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana, and ensured my safety and comfort at all times.
No matter what time of day, they were available to answer my questions and make sure I fully enjoyed my trip.
I would also like to thank Martha from Zambia, Prudence from Zimbabwe and Figo from Botswana for giving me an incredible experience!
Strongly recommend booking with Cuckoo Safaris... ASAP!
