Well-organized and executed trips with amazing guides
We did an 8-day Victoria Falls/Chobe/Makgadikgadi/Okavango Delta trip with Cuckoo Safaris. We picked Cuckoo because we thought they offered the best itinerary and had great reviews. While arranging the trip, Tatenda was very responsive and helped us put together the perfect itinerary—the whole process was very smooth and very well executed. Simon was our main guide throughout the trip, arranging our transportation and checking in on us everyday during the trip. He was an excellent guide and a wonderful human being. He was always on time and very reliable. He gave us an amazing tour of Victoria Falls, always kept us informed of the next steps, and accommodated to our needs. We felt very lucky to have had him as a guide. Our local guides throughout the trip were also wonderful. Our main constructive feedback is regarding the lodges. The Victoria Falls location, Shongwe Lodge, was an excellent lodge with amazing food. However, the quality of the lodges went down as the trip went further. Having said that, it was overall an amazing experience, thank you Cuckoo Safaris and Simon for making our honeymoon such a special experience!

Five stars, we would give six if we could!
We booked the Fly in-Fly out Safari from Zanzibar with three days Serengeti and one day Ngorongoro Crater. The booking and communication with Serengeti Wakanda leading up to the trip was very friendly and easy. The organization from Pick up to Drop off was seamless, but what really made a difference was our guide Andrew. If you have a chance to book with him, we highly recommend you do that. He is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and very easygoing, always putting the best possible guest experience first.
If you want to do a Safari in or around Serengeti, this is the company and guide you want to choose!

Great company
Great company
Everything was very well organized. From the beginning we had easy and quick communication with the company. The team was truly professional, they thought of all the details. All accommodations were very clean and wonderful places, the catering was also of high quality. During Safari we saw a lot of animals and our guide had an extensive knowledge of animals, people and the country . The Safari was wonderful.

Fantastic. 100% Recommend.
Fantastic. 100% recommend.
This was my first safari ever and I was not disappointed. I had high expectations but I would have never imagined that we would be able to see so many amazing and beautiful animals from so close. Our guide Dickson was amazing at taking us at the right place at the right time, and he would go miles to run and get as close as possible to the animals. Plus he knew so many things about animals and also Kenya, I learned so much and that was really entertaining. He was also super patient with us and always making sure everything was going well. This was an unforgettable experience and I would recommend to everyone.

Fantastic, unforgettable. 100% recommmend
This was my first safari ever and I was not disappointed. I think we got extremely lucky with our driver and guide, Dickson. I had high expectations but I would have never imagined that we would be able to see so many animals from so close - Dickson our guide was amazing at taking us at the right place at the right time, and he would go miles to run and get as close as possible to the animals. It was particularly impressive to see from so close: elephants, rhinos, and giraffe, pumbas and the lions! Plus Dickson knew so many things about animals and also Kenya, I learned so much and that was really entertaining. I also felt safe during the whole trip. Dickson our guide was also super patient with us and always making sure everything was going well for us.
Cherry on top, the rest of our group (we were with another 2 + 3 people) was great fun!
In terms of accommodation, we took the "budget" one which looked nothing like budget- super comfy and clean, staff super friendly and welcoming, good food.

A Life Experience
We did a 5 days safari. It was a lifetime experience. Our driver Joseph was highly experienced and a nice friendly guy. Joseph made sure we had maximum spotting and fun at the same time from the airport to the office and towards the park. We were able to see all the big animals and a lot more. Our favourite at the end was definitely seen wildebeest. It was truly exceptional. Overall, we would definitely recommend this company to others. They are such amazing

Amazing experience
We did a four day safari starting and ending in Zanzibar, 2 parents, 2 kids ages 5 and 8. We flew to Arusha then to seronera in a small fixed wing plane which was amazing! You could see the many masai villages below, it was a great start to the experience!
We did Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Tarangire and both were gorgeous. We stayed at Serengeti safari lodge in Serengeti and I would HIGHLY recommend it! The staff and food was excellent but the ambience of staying out in the wild was unbeatable. The hot lunch the chef prepared for our safari the next day was probably the best we ate the entire trip!
In Ngorogoro we stayed at the Serena which has an amazing view of the crater. While Serena is definitely a very nice hotel with all the amenities, I would still recommend the tented lodge as you get a really close to nature experience!
In four days we saw lots of animals including a pride of 15 lions as well as a lion hunt and kill a wildebeest. It was an incredible adventure and I would book
