Cuckoo Safaris giving an Africa trip to always remember
We did an 8 day tour from Vic Falls to the Okavango Delta (Maun). Cuckoo Safaris have been very prompt in responses via all WhatsApp communications from the beginning enquiry questions about tour options to the end of the tour. They customised our package for us based on interests, which is why it’s not listed in their current packages.
A heads up to others that we did not pay the remaining amount of the tour until the day we landed in Vic Falls.
Simon was our assigned guide and he was a 6/5 rated guide from our whole group! He made sure we knew all the details of what was to come for the next day and guided us with personal requests when we asked for them.
He gave us wonderful cultural insights to his Zimbabwean heritage, and answered every curious question that we had with pleasure.
He also ensured that my husband had a nice birthday surprise (which I totally did not expect to come with the package but it was so touching).
Cuckoo Safaris did tell me from the beginning that they would be able to cater for a gluten free dietary restriction but we had to remind every place that we went to (something that isn’t unfamiliar for anyone that has to live with this condition).
We had friends (another couple) decide to join our trip a few months after we booked, and they were staying at another lodge in one of the towns that we were staying in originally due to the intended lodge being overbooked, but they messaged us the week of the tour to let us know that a room became available and our friends were then able to join us in the same place which was so nice!
Our trip exceeded our expectations and our time in Africa will always hold a special place in our hearts.

This tour was worthy every penny.
I went to Uganda during my Easter holidays. Uganda is a beautiful country with welcoming people.
I managed to visit the Murchison falls national park in Northwestern Ugand. I had a chance to see big five animals like the elephants, Rhinos, lions,leopard and buffaloes.Among other animals that I saw were giraffes, antelopes. Dream Bandas Uganda assigned Julius my guide and he was knowledgeable about the Uganda National Parks and kind as wellml.

Great value for money and great tourist guide
Very friendly and attentive, they gave us all kinds of information before going on the safari. Once the safari began, the guide, Godlove laizer (Rafiki for us) was the best: friendly, with a lot of conversation and knowledge, very attentive to us and concerned. We definitely recommend this company and especially this guide. The chef was also very good, the food was delicious. The campsites are very simple but perfect for spending the night.

Holiday of a lifetime, wonderful experience with Safari365
I booked a two week holiday for my 50th birthday and it was an experience I will never forget! Every detail was taken care of by Safari 365, including thoughtful planning of my schedule to balance activities with relaxation time. Firstly, a four hour guided trip through Cape Town and along the coast with Cape Sidecar Adventures, chauffeured on a vintage motorbike with sidecar! A wonderful way to view the stunning coastline with stops for coffee and lunch. Then a three night safari experience at the breathtaking Shamwari - just wow. The accommodation at Long Lee Manor was luxurious and the vegetarian food world class! I had many amazing animal sightings thanks to our knowledgeable guide, seeing lions, elephants, rhino, giraffe, buffalo and many species of antelope and birds. I also had a fabulous massage treatment in the Long Lee Manor spa, before flying back to Cape Town and heading to Stellenbosch. Here I stayed at the Clouds Estate and wine farm, in a gorgeous boutique hotel with breathtaking views across the valley to the mountains. After a day of relaxation by the pool, I explored the local wine farms on an e-bike with Vine Tours, which made the hills really easy to climb, even after the wine! I could not have asked for a more wonderful trip, and I thank Safari365 from the bottom of my heart for all the care and attention that went into making my holiday of a lifetime so memorable.

Unforgettable and breathtaking 7-day safari
We booked a 7-day safari through Ro Scavenger safaris.
It started right in the morning after landing at Kilimanjaro Airport. Here, our very proficient German-speaking guide, Edward, picked us up, and we drove towards Tarangire National Park. There, we immediately went on our first game drive and despite the rainy season, we could admire plenty of elephants. It had rained a lot in the weeks prior, and the roads were accordingly muddy, but this was not a problem for our guide, Edward.
On day two at Lake Natron, we could observe many flamingos.
Then, we headed into the bush. Two and a half days in Serengeti. Our guide Edward did an excellent job, and we could observe lions, cheetahs, leopards, and buffaloes. Afterwards, we went towards Ngorongoro Crater. On day 5 in the afternoon, we did a "Walking Safari" with a park ranger and could admire the beautiful crater from the edge.
On day 6, we descended into the crater. A natural wonder. Here, our guide Edward could show us the last of the big 5 -> the rhinoceros. On day 7, we visited Arusha National Park and late in the evening, we went to the airport.
We had a fantastic and unforgettable time with Ro Scavenger Safari and would book with them again anytime.
