An authentic experience
I booked the tour last minute. They were available at all times from the very beginning and really flexible in accommodating all my requests and confirming the tour last minute. They asked me what kind of experience I wanted to have and the budget I was willing to spend and built the tour according to my requests. The accommodation was very nice, with an amazing view and the place where we had all the meals was where one of those where local people go, which allowed for interaction with the local community as well as the stunning view of an elephant eating very close to where we were having dinner

Safari Experience
On behalf of my entire family, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is rare to meet such dedicated and trustworthy people. Thanks to you, we had a great experience in Tanzania. You gave us the chance to realize one of our wildest dreams, namely going on a safari lasting several days through the incredible parks of Tanzania. Being passionate about animals, seeing elephants, lions, giraffes and even hippos in their natural environment was something that really held our hearts. The trip you organized for us was an exceptional experience, filled with unforgettable moments. .
A big thank you to the agency for organizing this stay. Thank you to the team on site for their availability.
An agency to highly recommend.

Well organized and supportive
Engoitoi coordinated an Easter getaway for my family, close friend, and their family. We booked a four-day package, including a trip to Ngorongoro and accommodation at a family house which made us feel like we are in heaven. Our Easter break was delightful; we enjoyed a BBQ with our close friends in Arusha, which was fantastically organized. The food at Ngorongoro for lunch was equally impressive, reminiscent of a home-cooked meal.

Unforgettable safari
Just back from a remarkable fly-in safari to Serengeti National Park, spending three nights immersed in the beauty of northern Tanzania. The entire journey was flawlessly organized, and we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional accommodations provided throughout. I cannot commend this company highly enough and would unquestionably opt for their services again without any hesitation. It was an experience truly unforgettable!

Fantastic tour with Levan!
Was extremely impressed with this company. Very organized and quick to respond. The accommodation was fantastic, especially as we did the lower cost option. The one hotel even supports local community development programs. Most importantly, Levan was an incredible guide. He was patient, very knowledgeable, and ensured that we had a safe and wonderful trip. I would absolutely travel with this group again!

Great experience exceeding our expectations
We booked the 6 day tour including Chobe National Park, Makgadikgadi and Okavango Delta. We did a lot of research and ended up booking with cuckoo safari based on their previous reviews and the itinerary that suited our trip, taking us to different parts of Botswana. The booking process was easy and communication with them was quick. We didn't really know what to expect and just went along, and everything worked out great and exceeded any expectations! No hick ups at all, everything went very smooth - from the transfers to the hotels to the different tour operators that were used along the way. (Local tour operators are used, which is a good thing as they have the best knowledge of the area) Each day offered new experiences. Simon and Tatenda joined us for a few days and made sure we were comfortable. All in all a great tour where you can just ride along, everything else is taken care of.

I had a fantastic experience - superior communication, top quality choices, and reliable service.
I recently worked with Ute Sonnenberg at Roho Ya Chui for an adventure trip in Cape Town, South Africa and I highly recommend her. I had a list of activities my nephew and I wanted to do and Ute expertly selected quality, reliable companies for our activities. She also arranged a great hotel and transportation for everything. She was very communicative before and during our trip. Also, during our trip when one of our activities needed to be rescheduled a few times due to weather (paragliding can be hit or miss based on the weather), Ute went above and beyond keeping us informed, working with the company to get us rescheduled, and suggesting alternative activities when paragliding was rescheduled. She was tremendous and the trip was well organized and everything went smoothly! I’ll also note I worked with Ute before on a safari trip in 2017 which was also a fantastic experience, so as a repeat customer I highly recommend Ute Sonnenberg and Royo Ya Chui.

Fantastic team led by Mark who are dedicated to providing you with a tailor-made trip of a lifetime.
We cannot recommend Shipungo highly enough - our experience from the very first email to the final drop off at Maun airport was 5 star - communications, service, value for money, reliability and the tour itself.
Mark was very accommodating and flexible through every stage of planning our trip; including making some changes at a late stage when our travel plans had to be adjusted. He answered all my queries patiently and very promptly, every question was thoughtfully answered.
The trip itself was conducted by 'The Dream Team' led by Kem; a highly knowledgeable guide, Shine; a very talented creative chef who baked fresh bread every day and prepared delicious meals that were hard to believe were rustled up in the bush; Left and Aaron; a wonderful double-act in charge of camp logistics and always considerate of our comfort. We were so well looked after by the team and enjoyed many memorable days and nights together which we will cherish and remember with great fondness.
The safari itself was extraordinary. We saw 4 cheetah, numerous leopards, hyena, jackal and lions and had an extraordinary encounter with a pack of endangered wild dogs amidst a thunderstorm. All this as well as incredible birding and encounters with herds of elephant, hippo, zebra, wildebeest, antelope and giraffe. Despite our safari being in the 'shoulder season' and on the cusp between wet and dry, we were spoilt for choice of where to look on many occasions; there was so much wildlife activity all around us.
Shipungo are also committed to supporting local communities and charities. At our request, they shared details of the needs of two schools that we delivered donations to in Maun and Khwai; which made our safari experience all the more meaningful.
So in summary, don't hesitate to book with Shipungo who you can trust to ensure will have your interests at heart and are a very caring company committed to ensuring you have a memorable safari experience.
A very big thank you Mark, Kem, Shine, Left and Aaron. We would love to go on another adventure with you!
