Trip of a lifetime, hassle free and smooth planning and execution by Cuckoo.
Trip of a lifetime, hassle free and smooth planning and execution by Cuckoo. I have to admit we only started our process of planning with Tatenda with Cuckoo very late. But he was accommodating and made it all happen for us very quickly. They were honest with the recommendations and also helped make any changes we wanted very effortlessly.

Good and reliable service!
Our safari with Cuckoo was overall excellent, though there were a few exceptions. Everything was exactly as described. Upon our arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, Simon was there to greet us with a sign bearing my name for easy identification. He then escorted us to our lodge, allowing us some time to check in and refresh ourselves. Afterward, Simon took us on a tour of Victoria National Park, providing informative explanations about the falls.
However, it was disappointing that Simon didn't suggest a visit to the Zambia side of the falls, even though we mentioned having obtained the Kaza visa for multiple entries. Another drawback was the extensive travel the next day, requiring a 6-hour round trip to Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe from our lodge. The safari experience itself was good, but the long drive in a small car was uncomfortable. We had hoped for a more suitable vehicle like a van or 4x4.
The highlight of our journey with Cuckoo was undoubtedly our visit to Chobe National Park in Botswana. It was conveniently closer to our lodge, approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes away, and we traveled in a spacious van. The adventure, which encompassed both land and water components, was exceptional.
In conclusion, we were generally satisfied with our safari experience, but the extended journeys in small cars and the missed opportunity to view Victoria Falls from the Zambia side were minor drawbacks.

Victoria Falls and Chobe trip
Cuckoo Safari was very patient with our group plan changes several times and it was very easy to communicate via email with quick responses
They were very promptly with pickup time
We were very pleased with Tatenda that he followed up with trip daily via whatsApp
The whole trip went smoothly. I would give 5/5 but because the trip to Victoria Falls wasn’t specify the duration and verbally stated that it’ll be at our own pace. Unfortunately we were rushed while the group was having lunch, therefore suggest you need to put the duration in writing and the tour need to mention about the poncho or raincoat to Victoria Falls wasn’t part of the package and need to tell the rental price in advance. When we talked to the other travelers at the lodge and they said their tour provided the poncho so I mentioned it to Simmon our tour guide and he provided the poncho to our group with no extra charge. Thanks Simmon for that
You can pay via credit card
I would use this company again in the future

Great tour operators with quick response times and convenient booking process!
Cuckoo was quick to respond to our last minute request for a tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe! They were fairly priced and did a good job setting us up with guides and local operators in Zimbabwe and Botswana.

reliable and efficient
Cuckoo Safaris prepared and tailored my trip to Victoria Falls at very short notice, with very reliable service and always very responsive to my queries. Both Tatenda and Simon, my guide, delivered a superb trip which allowed me to rest during my trip, with no hassles throughout. Highly recommended.
