Cuckoo Safaris giving an Africa trip to always remember
We did an 8 day tour from Vic Falls to the Okavango Delta (Maun). Cuckoo Safaris have been very prompt in responses via all WhatsApp communications from the beginning enquiry questions about tour options to the end of the tour. They customised our package for us based on interests, which is why it’s not listed in their current packages.
A heads up to others that we did not pay the remaining amount of the tour until the day we landed in Vic Falls.
Simon was our assigned guide and he was a 6/5 rated guide from our whole group! He made sure we knew all the details of what was to come for the next day and guided us with personal requests when we asked for them.
He gave us wonderful cultural insights to his Zimbabwean heritage, and answered every curious question that we had with pleasure.
He also ensured that my husband had a nice birthday surprise (which I totally did not expect to come with the package but it was so touching).
Cuckoo Safaris did tell me from the beginning that they would be able to cater for a gluten free dietary restriction but we had to remind every place that we went to (something that isn’t unfamiliar for anyone that has to live with this condition).
We had friends (another couple) decide to join our trip a few months after we booked, and they were staying at another lodge in one of the towns that we were staying in originally due to the intended lodge being overbooked, but they messaged us the week of the tour to let us know that a room became available and our friends were then able to join us in the same place which was so nice!
Our trip exceeded our expectations and our time in Africa will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Loyce and her team went above and beyond
Loyce and her team were so amazing. She organised every aspect of our safari and all the logistics and helped to book further travels up Mt kenya afterwards. We got to see so many animals and didnt feel like we were just going were everyone else went. Loyce and her team were so full of information and so easy to get along with. I would 100% travel with her again Loyce and her team went above and beyond.

great safari, great person
Fantastic Safaris gave us an exceptional Tanzanian safari that exceeded all our expectations. The communication was quick and informative, the service impeccable and the value for money unbeatable. The reliability of their operations ensured a flawless trip, while the safari itself was nothing short of magical. I highly recommend Fantastic Safaris to anyone wanting an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania.

Loyce is so accommodating!
We did a three day safari including a hot air balloon ride which was my highlight! Went to the Masai Mara and Nairobi National Park. Loyce was so accommodating and helpful throughout the whole trip.
Cannot fault the experience.

Friendly and easy to deal with.
It was a pleasure to deal with Secret Namibia. They offered competitive pricing and a great travel itinerary, including a diverse range of Namibian destinations, lodges and experiences.

Very friendly and outgoing. Eager to teach and provide insight on culture and local area.
The 3 day gorilla and golden monkey safari was a thrilling and wonderful experience. Kubwa Safaris was very accommodating and flexible. We did everything and more than what I could have imagined. Tour guide (Smith) was very helpful and friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the trip was as perfect as could be. Accommodations were wonderful and transportation was prompt and efficient.

8-day tour - Vic Falls, Chobe NP, Makgadigkadi NP, Okavango Safari
Absolutely epic safari package!
We were picked up by Simon at Vic Falls airport. Because we flew in late we missed the sunset cruise however, Cuckoo were flexible and added a lunch cruise the following day after Victoria Falls tour.
Communication with Simon and our group was a breeze with a WhatsApp group chat.
As this was my first time in Africa, I didn’t know what to expect across Zimbabwe/Botswana. I was absolutely blown away by the lodges and hospitality of all staff. As I’m a celiac, I expected to have poor food choices. I actually put on weight! So many meat choices! I think it would have been harder if I were both vegetarian and GF though.
I’m not sure if we were really lucky with sightings but the safaris absolutely blew me away. We were so lucky and saw so many animals including a leopard! Big 5 - done.
I would 100% love to return to see more of Zimbabwe and would 100% reach out to Simon from Cuckoo again.
A trip to remember- easily will stay in my top3 and will be very difficult to top! How many people can say they spent their birthday hanging out with meerkats, then flying over the Okavango Delta!
