Amazing experience and well organised
We had an amazing time on our 6 day safari and everything ran so smoothly! Our guides Simon and Tatenda made the whole experience so enjoyable, stress free and fun! All the accommodation was fantastic, getting between each location was easy and we had a blast!! We would definitely suggest using Cuckoo Safari for a Botswana safari as the company had everything perfectly organised, our guides were awesome and it is really good value for money compared to many other safari offerings in Botswana.

Everything worked out very well :)
I had a very nice 4 days group safari ( Masai mara and Nakuru). Everything worked very well and smoothly. The accommodation was fine :)
Our driver Denis was excellent, very professional. He knew the parks perfectly and in one day we could see the big 5! I had a great experience in general and really enjoyed seeing all the animals and landscapes of these beautiful parks :)

Perfect safari, wonderful experience! The guide was super!
My girlfriend and I spent five unforgettable days on safari exploring Tarangire (1 day), Serengeti (3 days), and Ngorongoro (1 day)!
It was a truly extraordinary experience! Our guide, Gody (God Bless), was fantastic. He has over 20 years of experience, and it showed... he took us off-the-beaten-path, and we saw all the animals!! Gody was always kind, professional, and helpful: if we were to return for another safari, we would want him as our guide again!
Our chef, Yohana, was perfect: smiling and friendly, he delighted us with abundant, tasty, traditional dishes!
Finally, a huge thank you goes to Jerome, who virtually assisted us from the very beginning. His availability and clarity in organizing were impeccable.
In short, a fantastic safari, and the icing on the cake was our guide, Gody!

Safari perfetto con una guida straordinaria
My partner and I spent five unforgettable days on safari with this company, exploring three wonderful places: Tarangire, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
It was a truly extraordinary experience! Our guide, Gody (God Bless), with his extensive experience, allowed us to spot all the animals we hoped to see—including the rather rare rhino! Gody was always extremely kind, professional, and helpful: if we were to return for another safari, we would love to have him as our guide again.
We were also more than satisfied with the food: our chef, Yohana, was exceptional. Always smiling and friendly, he delighted us with hearty, tasty dishes rich in traditional flavors.
Finally, a huge thank you goes to Jerom, who assisted us virtually from the very beginning. His availability and clarity in organizing were impeccable: he accompanied us every step of the way, making everything simple and perfect.
In short: an experience we wholeheartedly recommend!

Last minute safari, worked really well. Nothing to worry about during the trip.

Nice, safe and flexible driver
David did an amazing job: We saw 4 out of the Big5 and always stopped when we requested it. Also he spotted animals by himself and let us know.
He also is a safe driver and always made sure that we are safe. When our plans changed, he organised a new stay for us. 10/10

The worst safari company had in Tanzania
Since the beginning I felt not good sensations, cause all the Hotel's guest have been collected from your competitors between 6:30 to 7:30 AM,
Your driver with your old and broken jeep pick us up at 9:30 AM, I would like to make a premise, I have been doing Safaris in South Africa and Kenia,
Normally a Guide/ Driver used to make a general briefing in the beginning and during all the safari explaining where we are direct, how long it takes, what we are going to see/meet, name of animals, plants, seasons etc etc
SKILLS and ACCESSORIES
An expert and professional Safari Guide always carries with them
Maps
Binoculars
Radio
Suppose to know the territory well
Unfortunately for all us (6 persons) our Driver / Guide didn't have NONE of the above mentioned skills/accessories
- No briefing at all > didn't speak whole the Safari, even beacause he was poor in english
- No maps
- No Binoculars
- Radio appears only in the tird day after ALL the Group complain officially, we saw HALF of the animals compare the other/jeeps, due to the lack of use Radio.
- He gets lost in Serengeti twice and gets lost in Ngorongoro once, because we were alone often..due to LACK of USE of the RADIO and lack of know the territory
- Not explanations about plants, animals, lakes (Ex. : What's tha name of Ngorogoro lake ? Answer Crater )
SAFETY
Most important issue it was the SAFETY,
It was very anxious and used to go faster than the other jeeps, didn't stop many many times whem we met animals, anytime we use reminds him, "please stop for a moment".
Twice in Serengeti lost the control of the Jeep, taking the SERIOUS risk to overturn the Jeep . People screamming scared, after a period of slow speed, he started again the fast spped, we looked each other astonished !!
Twice the guests whom seated behind including my young son and Mr. Nardine heated the heads in the Jeep's roof, because the Guide didn't stop in the many bumps in the track
CAR / JEEP
A professional company checks the car before a trip
The Car got broken immediately
- Batteries or Alternator didn't work , so any time the Jeep stopped we should push behind all together or asking for a help or leave the car on descent for the day after to be sure for the start.
- The tire has has broken in the middle of Serengeti, I have changed the wheel because the Chef and the Driver didn't know how tu use the ckick or made mistakes to screw and unscrew the nuts
- A stone heated the front glass, the shards of glass heated the Chef and keep all of us in extremely danger situation and it left us the whole journey with the worry that the glass might explode, cause everyday the cracks getting bigger and bigger
- Eventually the JEEP DIED permantely a 140 Km from Arusha on the way back home, we checked the documents of the car it was 2004 registration date. Left us in the middle of the highway in a very danger point, the two guys were in panic, thanks God we asked for lift, a Jeep with a professional guide help us to reach Arusha ciity in safe.
CHEF /FOOD
- First night our dinner was served along with other groups (3 groups+us) We were served at the end from our Chef assigned, 45 minutes of waiting to see the others having dinner
- Once the food arrives he apologises with our group, introducing himself as Professioanl Chef, but the facts have disproved it
- Simply he did NOT have enough food for the 6 pax or wants to save money in the food markets for his pocket.
- The first night in Serengeti Camp I cooked for whole group a Pasta and I was expecting the Chef was prepared something else, I was wrong, we had just pasta.
- The day after I woke up at 4:30 AM all the Chef/Cookers AREA was full and actives, every Chef cooking and prepare a lots food, cakes desserts etc...our Chef was sleeping I went to wake him up I prepared a coffee for all, no cookies, very poor food and not cooked for breakfast.
When we coming back for lunch the same situation
- The Food was poor and poorly cooked even in Ngorongoro, I seated in late no more meat (a piece each person), two guests vomits and got diarrea after the lunch in Ngorogoro camp.
- Perrsonally and other guests finished the Safari hungry.

Unforgetable
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kiliclimb Africa Safaris from start to finish!
Our guide Abraham was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and having a great time. Moses and his entire team were also amazing, organizing everything perfectly so we could simply enjoy the adventure without worrying about a thing.
The vegetarian food was no problem at all—we were well taken care of with tasty and varied meals throughout the trip. The logistics, accommodations, and attention to detail were all excellent.
We truly appreciated the warm hospitality, professionalism, and passion that everyone put into making our safari so special. Thank you for creating memories we will cherish forever!
Highly recommended to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania! 🌿🦁

Kind problem solvers - happy to help
We had a great experience with kiliclimb Africa Safaris - we were part of a group safari and my friend and i came by nightbus from Dar to Arusha. The bus was very late and we missed our previous group and they found us an other group on short notice and assured we still would have a great time. The actual Safari was amazing our Tour Guide Joshua Mfinanga was extremely kind and our group dynamic was amazing. We enjoyed the time together and we have seen many amazing animals up close. Zebras at night around our tents included. It was wonderful.
