Great Tour, Wonderful Experience
5/5

We had an amazing 6 day tour with Cuckoo Safaris. The tour components in both Victoria Falls and Botswana were excellent. Accommodation in VF and Botswana were lovely and the itinerary had the right balance of activity and down time. Shelton, our guide in Victoria Falls was knowledgeable, on time and good company. The afternoon game drive and dinner in VF was a highlight.

The 3 days in Botswana was also amazing. Guides for the safari drives and boat cruise were excellent and we saw an incredible amount of wildlife. Each drive had something different that made it special in its right. The whole experience was something we will never forget.

Cuckoo were very good with communications. They were accommodating when we had issues with card payment and found a way to make it work. The assistance from the Cuckoo staff at the border crossing into Botswana made the things very easy.

Great value and a fantastic variety of experiences to give you an overview of the area, and of course the opportunity to see the big 5 and more.

Just came back from a 9 day trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana and can only say it was better than I could ever have imagined . Hotels , food , people and all trips were very good . All organised very well with no hiccups at all. I cannot remember the names of all the staff we encountered but would like to say a big thank you to Gift and Simon who both ensured we had a trouble free and enjoyable trip . Well done Cuckoo

Excellent planning
5/5

We saw Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe and Zambian side. They included a visit to Livingstone museum that was quite informative. The combination of land and river Safari of Chobe National Park was spectacular. Finally the visit to Monde Village was us a whole different perspective about life in Zimbabwe. Our guides, Shelton, Mike, Figo, Simon among others, we're phenomenal.

More than what we bargained for!
5/5

My wife and I went on the 12 day package for our honeymoon. If you like seeing amazing wild animals, experiencing all different types of safari, staying in varied traditional and luxurious accomodation, sampling delicious African cuisine (we're now addicted to malva pudding), and immersing yourself in Zimbabwean and Botswanan culture, then this is the tour for you.
But don't expect any big lie-ins! Activities are absolutely crammed into this tour, each with their own unique aspects, largely increasing the variety and amount of wildlife you see. We were very happy to see the Big 5 during our trip. Every day was well curated, from the pick ups to the food provided, and Simon was always available on WhatsApp to answer any schedule questions we had.
All of the staff involved were professional and helpful. Simon and Pebbles were particularly knowledgeable and friendly, and we felt at home with them. We also loved hearing their really interesting insights and entertaining stories about Zimbabwean and Botswanan culture as we drove between locations.
