Patience from CPN Consultants was very friendly and responsive. Booking the tour was very easy.
I had just one day free during a business trip to Uganda and decided to book a safari to Murchison Falls National Park with CPN Consultants — it was the best decision I could have made.
Our guide, Sharif, was great: punctual, very knowledgeable about wildlife and the park, super friendly, and made the long day feel effortless.
We were able to see a wide range of wildlife — elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, antelope, and more. The visits to the Murchison Falls was also stunning. This was my first safari and was an unforgettable experience. I’m very glad I made the time for it. Highly recommended!

Five star agency
I recently joined a safari with Axis and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the communication was smooth and professional, and everything was perfectly organized.
A special thank you goes to our guide, Jack. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife and the local culture, but also very patient and attentive to our needs. Jack made sure we had the best possible game drives, always finding the perfect spots for sightings while keeping us safe and comfortable. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five and so many other amazing animals up close.
What really stood out was Jack’s passion for nature and his warm personality — he made the trip both educational and fun. Axis truly delivered a seamless safari experience, and Jack made it unforgettable.
I would highly recommend Axis and especially guide Jack to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. They turned my trip into a once-in-a-lifetime memory!

Great provider. If you look nowhere else, you won't be disappointed
We had a custom 6-day safari with the great migration and an extension in Zanzibar organized by Renatus, curated by Jackson and guided by Ernest. Safari Soles is a great team, extremely responsive, prompt and reassuring.
Thanks to Ella McKendrick, we received estimates from a handful of companies, but Safari Soles always stood out by being the quickest to respond, the most flexible, the most transparent and the leading edge on value for money. Our decision process was laborious because we knew we would probably only get on go at a safari, but Safari Soles was always the most patient and helpful with us, and this carried through the entire safari.
Our guide was Ernest who we would ask for again if we went back, and who we highly recommend. We developed deep trust in Ernest's instincts, but also his manner. He was always patient with us, knowledgeable, prepared, punctual and extremely friendly. Ernest always kept us informed about what was going on and why we were going where we were going, and he never tired of our constant questions. It was a pleasure to share that time with him and we consider him a friend.
All our accommodations worked exactly as they were explained to us. We didn't have to worry about anything but showing up. All our questions during the trip were promptly answered by Jackson and the staff at the office, and everything was clear.

Excellent service during a 7-night safari trip
Just returned from a 7-night safari trip in Zimbabwe booked through Cuckoo Safaris and they were fabulous to work with. I had so many questions and had to make several changes but Tatenda was always patient and willing to help.
After being picked up at Victoria Falls airport, we spent two nights at the Hwange Safari Lodge. We had three game drives during the two days and saw amazing animals. Our guide, Laz, was informative and knowledgeable. The lodge itself was beautiful and comfortable. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We are not fans of buffet meals and unfortunately, they seem to be the standard at hotels in Zimbabwe. We were able to order from an a la carte menu, and while it was limited, the food was good. The lodge has a watering hole in the back, so wildlife viewing was abundant right on the property.
We transferred back to the town of Victoria Falls and stayed at the wonderful Samanzi boutique hotel. This is perhaps the nicest hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Only 16 rooms, each with pool access and sun beds, and a beautiful attention to detail. The food here was wonderful, including cooked-to-order breakfast in addition to self-serve items. While in Victoria Falls, we had a tour of the falls with a terrific guide Simon; he was also able to assist us with several errands. We also had a sunset cruise hosted by Pure Africa which included canapes & drinks; the local gin is wonderful. Finally, we had an evening game drive & BBQ at the Stanley & Livingston game reserve. Our guide, Africa, did an excellent job and the food was tasty. We had one completely free day, and which we enjoyed relaxing at the hotel.
Finally, we transferred to the Cresta Mowana Safari Resort in Kasane, Botswana. Our driver, Shelton, handed us off to his counterpart in Botswana who helped us with the border crossing. We really appreciated this assistance; we could have done it on our own but having his experience made the process simple. We had two game drives in Chobe National Park that were guided by Figo. He did a good job with the drive but was perhaps a bit fast; however, this may have been because he knew we had seen a lot in Hwange and was specifically trying to find us a leopard. Cresta Mowana was our least favorite lodging location due to its size and food quality. This property seemed to cater to large bus groups and didn’t seem to know what to do with a group of just 2 people. Our final activity was a boat safari guided by July who was excellent finding and getting great views of the animals. He was very knowledgeable about the different species of wildlife. This was one of our favorite activities because we were able to see the animals from a different perspective.
We had one more transfer back to Victoria Falls airport with Shelton. Both he and Simon were excellent at sharing the local culture and customs. We enjoyed learning from them and getting a broader world view.
Throughout the entire trip we were able to be in contact with the Cuckoo Safari office through WhatsApp. All our questions were quickly answered, and concerns were addressed. I would recommend using them and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future. A huge thank you to all their staff for make our trip to Zimbabwe so memorable.
