Thuba was a great tour guide and made the tour very fun!!
Cuckoo Safaris was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it. It was lovely to have someone guiding through the Victoria Falls track and telling you about its history.

Great places, great people, wonderful time
We chose a 12 day tour of Zimbabwe and Botswana which proved to be an excellent option; although some parts of the drive journey were quite long, we had a very friendly and inspiring guide and a very good storyteller too, Simon, who knew how to capture our attention and tell us about African places and traditions. The safaris were excellent and I mention here Bhecki (the guide in Hwange) and Africa (the guide in Victoria Falls) who made it possible for us to see The Big Fives in the first two days :))
The accommodations were excellent, the places varied, the price-quality ratio very good, everything was organized down to the smallest detail and the people responded promptly to all our needs and questions.
So Thank you Cuckoo Safari, Thank you Simon for a memorable vacation and certainly if I were to go back there I would make the same choice!!!

Awesome
The tour was professionally organized, balanced in activities and the way it was carried out was according to plan. A special note for the guides who took care of us. Especially Simon, who was attentive to our needs, made small adjustments to the program according to the needs of the moment and especially provided us with both important information about the places visited and a spectacular immersion in the cultural world of the places. His stories about local traditions and especially his qualities as a storyteller will remain in our memory as a bonus of a memorable trip.

An unforgettable safari experience with Cuckoo Safaris and our amazing guide, Simon
We’ve just returned from a fantastic trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana, organized by Cuckoo Safaris, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. Everything was impeccably arranged, from logistics and accommodation to the activities and the carefully chosen routes.
One of the biggest highlights of this journey was without a doubt our guide, Simon. He was not only an excellent guide, but also a wonderful person—professional, attentive, passionate about his work, and always ready to share fascinating information about nature, wildlife, and local culture. We felt safe, well taken care of, and constantly inspired by his stories and explanations. His presence made the entire experience truly special.
The accommodations were very good, comfortable, and thoughtfully selected, each with its own charm—from lodges with stunning views to peaceful places right in the heart of nature. The activities proposed by Cuckoo Safaris were varied and well-balanced: exciting game drives, walks through reserves, cultural experiences, and visits to spectacular locations. Every day brought something new and memorable.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Cuckoo Safaris for their professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. And if you’re lucky enough to have Simon as your guide, you’re in for a truly authentic, enriching, and unforgettable experience.
It was a wonderful journey—one we will never forget!
Amazing holiday with Cuckoo safari.
We booked the 5 day quadruple package. Wonderful holiday with knowledgeable Thuba as our guide in Zimbabwe and attend to our needs and requests. Itinerary was according to booking. Almost every leg of the itinerary was filled with excitement and surprise. starting from the airport. 2nd day game drive with Nixon was excellent, and the bush dinner was a great experience. 3rd day morning river cruise in a boat on Chobe river with July as our guide was amazing. We seen hippo, croc, big herd of elephants and the beautiful scenery, Thanks to July experience navigation on the river. We are all thrilled. Very important, bring child birth cert if traveling with them. Custom Legal requirements to prevent child trafficking in Africa. Overall a very enjoyable and satisfied holiday with family.

I enjoyed the tour as well as my friends. I gained more from having a guide opposed to a self tour.
The guide gave us really interesting facts and history.
My friends and i found her pleasant. Really cheerful person.
This was really value for money.
