Marc was very accomodating, open and informative tour guide. I would highly recommend him.
We did the Lesedi Cultural Village tour and MoAfrika responded to our last minute booking request. They also ensured we got to the village safely from our location (Apartheid Museum) and brought us back to our hotel (at the airport). Our tour included a reenacted experience of the different tribal villages in Africa including the Zulu tribe. The dance show and singing at the end was a highlight and the food buffet was delicious. While not the authentic tribal experience I anticipated, Marc and the Lesedi Culture Village team did an excellent job of demonstrating the tribal culture in S.Africa. Marc was also very personable, easy to talk to and it is clear he is extremely knowledgeable about S.Africa particularly his hometown Johannesburg.

Amazing service, every single person goes above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience
We booked a Safari very last minute and Medison accommodated all my requests and queries with no trouble. Elias our guide was highly experienced and he went above and beyond to try and get us to see the most game. Would recommend this company to anyone who wants to book a safari in East Africa!

Amazing Bushes Experience :)
We had an amazing honeymoon experience on our trip to Tanzania.
Priyal and her team were very professional in communicating with us and had prompt responses to our queries & requests.
They took care of all the bookings, reservations, safaris and everything within it for us.
They made sure we had the most perfect experience in our safari tour. They booked our stay at Serena Lodge in Ngorongoro & Kati Kati tented camp in Serengeti.
Since we were vegetarians, they conveyed our diet over to the camp & lodge and we got proper meals and did not have to face any difficulty.
Our guide Mr. Rashid was extremely hospitable and had proper knowledge of the area and animals. He helped us in spotting The big 5 and many more animals and gave us detailed understanding of what we were experiencing.
Overall, my wife and I had a wonderful time honeymoon planned by Priyal and team and would 100% recommend SVAI for anyone planning to travel there.

Perfectly organized, professional and funny trip
All in all, it was one of the best trips i have ever had. We did a three-days tour to Mikumi and it was perfectly organized from the booking until the end. Godfrey and William picked us up at our hotel in DarEsSalaam and after that we had a funny and very informative drive to mikumi. At the second day, the Safari, godfrey and William tried all their best to see a Lot of animals, and of course, we saw lots of different animals. Godfrey also gave us lots of Information about the animals, trees and enviornment. Willi and Gody were very punctual so helpful. So they booked and took us to the Ferry to zanzibar.
The accomodation was a simple but very cozy. You have everything you need and you do Not spend lots of time there.
All in all, i say thank you for everything and i highly recommend KIHINDO, Godfrey and William!

An experience you won't forget for the rest of your life!
The safari was a complete success from start to finish and worth every penny. The organization worked very well, we exchanged information in advance via WhatsApp. Our guide Godfrey and driver William are such cool and friendly people, it was an honor to meet them and spend the 3 days with them. Godfrey told us a lot of interesting facts about the animals and life in Tanzania. We saw so many animals during the Safari, absolutely stunning.
Further, the accommodation was top and the food was good. I would recommend the safari to anyone else looking for adventure. Thank you for this experience, hope to see you again.

Well organized travel agent
We made a nice 10 day s trip with Cuckoo Safaris.
We first did all kinds of activities in Victoria Falls, like Rafting , Helicopter flight, Jetboat, dinnercruise, ad vissiting both the Zimbabwe and Zabian site of the waterfalls, all highly recommended.
ADVICE, when visiting the Falls, take a poncho and a good umbrella with you, is idial for taking pictures and protecting the camera against the water mist, also for rent opposite the entrance.
After this our tour started with Cuckoo Safaris, we met Tatenda and Simon and discussed the trip.
They have fulfilled all agreements and activities that were offered in the tour perfectly.
Also all hotels we stayed in were excellent.
We also went an extra day to Hwange with Cuckoo Safaris very worthwhile.
ADVICE If you do the tour in june or july bring warm clothes and a winter coat because with a early game drive it is quite cold in the open safari car (8 degrees Celsius).
During the trip Simon told us a lot of interesting facts.
Highlights of the tour, Nakavango privite Game reserve, seeing the rhinoceroses
Game drive and rivercruise in Chobe seeing a lot of different animals, and swimming elephants.
Elephant sands, where we ate 5 meters from e herd of 50 elephants drinking at a waterhole.
Planet Baohab lodge , where we made a game drive to see the Meerkats.
Okavango delta wher we made a 45 minutes helicopter flight over the delta.
Mukoro dug-out canoeing experience through the delta.
Full day game drive Moremi national park where wa saw lions and leopards, and many other animals
All these activeties and more were exellently arranged by Cukoo Safaris, we never had to wait , everything went as agreed.
We did the entire tour privately this is definitely recommended you see and hear much more than with a group you sitting always first class when making foto's and video.
When you make the trip with Cuckoo Safaris , the price is not higher than many providers ask for a group trip.
We have made a wonderful trip with Cuckoo Safaris.
Thanks Tatenda and Simon
Best regards Paul

Easy communication to develop a memorable safari adventure
We researched safari options on Safari Bookings.com and got three quotes. We decided to go with Shanjoy Tours as they were always quick to respond and sent a very nice proposed itinerary. Payment was easy online and any questions we had were dealt with very quickly.
On arrival we were met at Nairobi Airport and we were picked up from our hotel to start our safari. We did the 5 night/6 day safari in Kenya and Tanzania and it all went really well. We adored all the animals and Peter (Kenya) and Nelson (Tanzania) were great guides. All five of the big five were seen as well as lots of other birds and animals.
We did have a couple of issues on the trip (jeep broke down once and accommodation changed in Tanzania) and we did consider giving only 4 stars but the issues were dealt with fast and we were upgraded in our accommodation on our last stop to ensure we didn’t leave in any way disappointed. We certainly have not - we have made family memories for life and we would have no issues using Shanjoy Tours again.
