Cuckoo Safaris went above and beyond all our expectations
This is the first tour we have taken that didn't consider picking up at the airport and transferring us to our hotel to be day 1. After giving us several hours to freshen up and rest, they took us on a relaxing sunset cruise down the Zambezi river which included very nice refreshments & snacks. All our guides were great but Thuba was particularly amazing, sharing his love of wildlife, knowledge of the culture and facts about Victoria Falls & the area. He also assisted me with taking stunning pictures of the falls! I appreciated his patience & friendliness. The tour of Chobe National Park & boat cruise on the Chobe river (separated by a enjoyable buffet lunch) were sensational seeing diverse animals including a mating pair of lions at rest and majestic breeding herds of elephants at play in the water! The cultural village visit and sunset safari including a bush BBQ were also very nice! Our accommodations at the Dzimbahwe Guest Lodge were very comfortable and enjoyable. We would highly recommend this tour company to enjoy parts of Zimbabwe, Zambia & Botswana

Phenomenal From Start to Finish
Our safari with Tanzania Wildlife Adventures was phenomenal from start to finish. The vast plains of Serengeti National Park amazed us, especially during our unforgettable sunrise balloon ride. Exploring Ngorongoro Crater, including a walking safari, was a true highlight. We loved the beauty of Lake Manyara National Park and the elephant filled landscapes of Tarangire National Park. Wonderful lodges, diverse wildlife, and our fantastic guide Samuel made this trip absolutely exceptional.

An unforgettable safari with memories that will last a lifetime!
I had the most incredible, unforgettable 15-day safari in Tanzania with Sustainable Safari Tours. I am a frequent traveler to Africa and have been on game drives more than a hundred times. I have had many once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters in different parts of Africa, so I always set my expectations high whenever I return for game drives. Thanks to my guide Joshua, who is also the founder of the company, the safari itself and every aspect of the experience exceeded all my expectations. He was a huge part of what made my trip truly memorable and unforgettable.
I looked at several different tour operators but ultimately decided to go with Sustainable Safari Tours because they are a local Tanzanian business, they replied quickly and clearly, and they put together an ideal safari tailored exactly to what I wanted. From the very beginning, I was able to communicate directly with Joshua, the guide and owner of the company, and ask many questions about wildlife, accommodations, and even routes within the national parks. This level of direct communication really stood out compared to other tour operators. Joshua is not just a sales representative but also a guide who knows all the parks like the back of his hand. I must have sent countless emails with requests about accommodations, routes, and other details, and he always responded kindly and promptly. I was planning to visit Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti (eastern, central, and southern), and Ngorongoro in a specific order and asked other tour operators if it was possible. They all said “yes,” but Joshua was the only one who gave honest advice and suggested the best order to visit these places. That was when he truly earned my trust, and I decided to go with Sustainable Safari Tours. I cannot thank Joshua enough. He is the best guide and tour operator I could have ever asked for.
Once I was on safari, the experience was pure magic. Joshua was professional, energetic, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. I was traveling solo, but he took excellent care of me and made sure I always felt safe and comfortable. His sense of humor helped me relax from day one. He is extremely considerate of his clients while also being very respectful of the parks and the animals. He was outstanding in every way. He knew every animal, could spot wildlife incredibly quickly, and always positioned the vehicle perfectly for amazing views and ideal photo opportunities. Joshua is Maasai and deeply committed to sustainable tourism practices, working closely with Maasai communities. I had the privilege of asking many questions and learning about Maasai culture and traditions, which made the experience even more meaningful.
This was by far the most amazing trip I have ever taken, and I truly could not have had a better experience. I cannot recommend Sustainable Safari Tours highly enough if you are looking for a professional, friendly, and locally knowledgeable tour operator.

2-day Murchison Falls Tour
Everything went smooth, we have seen many animals and beautiful landscapes. Our guide Abdul was super helpful, shared many interesting facts about the animals and drove us safely to the park and back to hotel. Communication with Jennifer was very good, the tour was well organized. The whole experience was stress-free and exceeded our expectations.

The most incredible Safari
We had the most incredible 5-day safari in Kenya with Stanley as our guide and Mike as our driver, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough. From start to finish everything was so well organised, punctual, and completely stress-free — they made the whole trip feel easy and exciting.
Stanley is not only great fun with an amazing sense of humour, but he’s also extremely well educated, knowledgeable, and experienced. We learned so much throughout the safari, and his passion for what he does really shines through. Mike was equally brilliant — such a skilled driver, calm, professional, and always making sure we were comfortable and looked after.
As a young group of girls travelling together, we felt safe and cared for at all times. They were both incredibly respectful, accommodating, and genuinely went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience possible. Nothing was ever too much trouble — every question, request, or change of plan was met with kindness and patience.
This was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had and we’re so grateful we chose Stanley and Mike. If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, book with them — it’s worth every minute.

The perfect safari
We will remember this 6 days safari forever. Everything worked amazingly. The whole experience was perfect and carefully planned by the team.
Davis was always clear and responsive during the planning stage.
Manfredi was the Best Guide Ever. He loves the safari as another excited guest, with an incredible amount of knowledge to share. He knows every animal, every plant and every region, and is always ready to tell amazing stories about the beautiful Tanzanian wonders. He really made the difference and we will be always greatful to have his as our guide.
Zacaio joined us for the Kilimanjaro hike, with a positive and friendly attitude that made the experience so enjoyable.
We highly recommend King Mufasa for your safari.

Perfect Safari
We were genuinely happy to have loved our experience with Soul of Tanzania.
Congratulations to the excellent, competent, and always helpful guides, and for the excellent organization of the trip.
Your guides have a feeling and an eye for spotting an animal from a long distance. FANTASTIC.
They know how to create a very friendly atmosphere with the client.
It's a good thing we went during the "off-season," because at one point there were almost 50 jeeps "on top" of one animal.
The staff, as well as the service at the accommodations, was always impeccable.
It's good to feel that our money was well spent on this trip, which will certainly remain in our memories forever.
This victory is something no one can take away from you or from us.
Our children and grandchildren say they want to come on the next safari too.
Thank you very much.

Efficient and brilliant service
We used this company to transfer us from our safari in Kruger to Johannesburg airport. We got picked up on time from our closest gate and made a few stops before arriving at the airport right on schedule. Very efficient and seem less, we would definitely recommend. Comfortable drive and our driver Tiyani was brilliant. Thanks !
