One Of A Kind! - It was an absolute pleasure getting to work with Simon of Cuckoo Safaris. Not only was he informative before every adventure he also made sure I get the best out of my trip. Always on time and ready to share what Victoria Falls has to offer. I loved the coordination between staff on connecting activities which was seamless and everyone performed to the best of their ability. Overall an awesome experience and will definitely be doing it again, till next time!

Amazing Tour! - We booked this trip not knowing what to expect. We had never been to any one of these three countries.
After booking the tour, Cuckoo Safaris responded to our questions promptly.
Simon picked us up from the airport in a clean and comfortable vehicle. Took us to our hotel and updated us on the activities planned for our time in the region. He told us exactly what to expect at each point and place.
This tour involves several border crossings and we were always prepared ahead of time on what to expect. The guide from Zimbabwe would always make sure to introduce us to the guide in Zambia or Botswana. We were never left to fend for ourselves anywhere!
Mosi au Tunya (Victoria Falls) involves a lot of walking. The path is paved well enough that you could push a stroller or wheelchair if needed.
Big shoutout to (Del) the young lady tour guide Victoria Falls - Zambia side and the young man on the Zimbabwe side. Very articulate and attentive to us. Slowed down to our pace (we stopped a lot to take photos of the falls) but they also came prepared with rain coats because the mist from the falls is like rain!
Simon is very knowledgeable about his country, the history, culture and customs plus, he is a great communicator! He recommended the Lookout Restaurant and we went there for lunch one day: Amazing view of the falls!
Would highly recommend this trip!!

Awesome itinerary, seamless coordination, wonderful experience - The itinerary was awesome, giving us a comprehensive and wonderful experience exploring the Victoria Falls, the wildlife in Chobe and getting a peek into the local way of life in a rural Zimbabwean village. The coordination was seamless though we had to cross Zambian and Botswana borders. Very safe countries. A special callout to Simon for doing a great job with the coordination. The guides and rangers assigned to us helped in making everything awesome too. Thanks!

African Adventure - Great trip from start to finish. Our driver, Luwis, was amazing. He went out of his way to make sure our trip was enjoyable. The tour guides in Victoria Falls and Zambia, Sheldon, and Martha were very informative and friendly. The safari in Chobi National Park was great, seeing the wildlife up close and the river safari also great.
Accommodation was comfortable with very friendly staff.
Highly recommend.

Cuckoo safaris the best - Cuckoo Safaris were fantastic from the time we landed until the time we departed. We were delayed in arrivals for more than 2 hours and worried our driver might not wait, but head office replied immediately and changed our program to ensure we arrived on time for our river cruise. We were so happy to see our driver Lewis waiting for us. For our entire stay Lewis was wonderful and couldn’t do enough to make our time in Victoria Falls special. Gift was our driver in Chobe and showed us some great sights. Sheldon took us through Victoria falls and was fun and very interesting and informative. Martha took us on the Zambia side, and was great, very friendly with us. Simon drove us to Boma for dinner and he was very entertaining and friendly. I highly recommend this company and all of their staff.

Brilliant 5 day Adventure with Cuckoo Sefaris - From the time we touched down at the airport we were treated professionally. Our driver - Luwis was absolutely amazing and he could not do enough to ensure our trip was special. His car was spotlessly clean and he was always on time. Luwis provided us with amazing information about his country and the experiences we were having. The trip to Chobe was fantastic with us seeing many of the big 5- being up close with the lions was incredible and the river Safari did not disappoint.
Our trip the Victoria falls with Sheldon was spectacular with Sheldon providing us with information to educate us about both the flora and fauna and the history of the falls. Martha then took over our tour on the Zambia side of the falls and was equally amazing.
The visit to the local village and the drum and dance night was brilliant.
It was so wonderful to have Luwis as our driver for the whole trip. He was truly amazing - his driving skills were excellent and he constantly tried to make our trip special.
Our accommodation at Dzimbabwe lodge was perfect with wonderful staff and facilities.
