Wonderful safari with Joaquim and Innocent
We entrusted safari moja Matata with the organization of our safaris in Mikumi, Nyerere and also in Zanzibar. The 3 safaris were wonderful and very well organized. We warmly thank our French guide Joaquim who made us discover the wonders of Mikumi and Selous. We also thank Hamis who took over on Zanzibar and of course Leopard Matata and Innocent who were able to organize everything for us. A great team! If you want to book a safari, do not hesitate to contact this company which is very serious, attentive to the customer and at a good price.

Samwel and his team were very hospitable and make our trip extraordinary
We got a great value for money and serelyne is a reliable tour operator. Our trip was planned last minute and Samwel went out of the buy to help us book our flights at a reasonable price and also arrange our stay and safari . Both samwel and Stefan were there to greet us at the airport and then they were our companions for 3 days . They both also made sure we see the great migration and took all efforts to plan the same . It will be a lifetime experience and memorable for us .

Exceeded all our expectations! Can’t recommend enough ❤️
My husband and I visited Victoria Falls Zimbabwe in August 2024 for 4 nights. Tatenda and all the employees at Cuckoo safari’s just excel in professionalism and customer service by making you feel like you’re a good friend visiting and not just a client! I didn’t want to do a set 3,4 or 5 day adventure but rather piece meal a few activities that really interested me. I emailed Cuckoo directly with my three activity request and they responded quickly, answering all my questions that came up in the months before we traveled and showed up on time and truly made our time in Victoria Falls one of our top vacations and we’ve traveled to over 60 countries ❤️
I actually found this company via TripAdvisor. They are the only company that I could find that offer a walking tour of Victoria Falls from both sides (Zambia and Zimbabwe). If we were going to fly all the way to Zimbabwe, I wanted the full Victoria Falls experience and Cuckoo delivered!! They reminded me to get the multi entry visa at the airport to make it easy to get to and from Zambia, drive us to immigration at the bridge, walked us in, walked us to our Zambia guide who then drove us to the Zambia entrance. Excellent knowledge by both guides and awe inspiring falls! Our Zambia guide asked if we wanted to drive back to Zimbabwe or walk across the bridge so we walked and watched a bungee jumper. Once the tour was complete we asked if they could drop us off at the Lookout Cafe and I highly recommend this restaurant for the view! It’s a short drive from the Zimbabwe entrance to Victoria falls.
That same evening I booked the Signature Deck sunset cruise through Cuckoo. Wow! Great seats for the two of us on the boat and the pick up and drop off at our hotel was so smooth and easy.
The last activity I booked through Cuckoo was the small group day tour to visit Chobe in Botswana. The driver was there on time and this town is magical! Just driving to the boarder which takes about an hour you see wildlife ❤️ Giraffes, Kudu’s, Elephants!! I know it’s never guaranteed to see wildlife but we were lucky! Once at the boarder the driver went with us through immigration explained everything and then walked us across the border where the Botswana driver and guide picked us up. All vehicles were clean and in good condition.
In Chobe we did a 3 hour river safari tour and saw hippos, lizards, baboons, elephants so many animals ❤️ the boat was small an only seats 16 max but because we went during “winter” which is a slower season it was only us and a family of 3 on the boat. The boat driver got us so close to a crocodile at first we there was a fake one they put out for the tourists 😂 Nope he was huge and so close! There were a lot of bigger boats on the river but the small boat could maneuver into the best areas for closer views. Our lunch was at a nice hotel on the water and then we were off on our 3 hour game drive in Chobe National park. Excellent guide/driver who showed us so much!
This company is not the cheapest but they make sure that the partners they work with give you an amazing quality experience! It’s a vacation we will treasure and can’t thank Cuckoo enough!!

Kojuu Safaris is committed to customer satisfaction and willing to go extra miles to serve
This is the first time we went to Tanzania for Safari. We are very glad that we chose Kojuu Safaris to help us arrange this Safari trip. With their help, the trip was excellent and memorable.
Right start from the first contact with Judith, she was very responsive and professional. Judith is very knowledgeable. She could provide with all the insights about how to plan the itinerary, as well as recommendations on different accommodations. We at first were not sure of which hotels to stay in, she was able to provide us her thoughts on different experiences with different accommodation choices, so we could choose based on our preferences. The accommodations we ended up staying all exceeded our expectations, thanks to Judith’s advice. Judith is also super responsive to all my questions about anything regarding safari. Sometimes, I could be an annoying client due to my attention to very subtle details. But Judith kept patient and replied to my every smallest question. As she was pregnant later and her condition didn’t allow her to be as responsive as before, she even asked her colleague Anitha as her backup to help us. Anitha is the same responsive and responsible as Judith is. It is their tireless help and support that made our trip to be successful and memorable.
What touched me the most is Kojuu Safaris’s commitment to serve their customers and willing to go extra miles to make sure their customers to be well taken care of. When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport, our luggage were missing from our flight. The luggage had all our clothes in them, which made my wife super concerned. While this was not Kojuu’s responsibility, Judith managed to get our luggage the second day and delivered to us the third day morning, with no extra charge. Her help minimized the impact of this incident to our trip. Another example is that our friends left one day before us in the afternoon, so they needed to stay with us in the hotel before they leave for airport. Judith was so kind to offer buying them lunch, so they could eat together with us. This shows how caring Judith was.
I would also like to give a special shout out to our guide Harun. He has over 10 years experience of being a safari guide. He is super knowledgeable and He also has eagle eyes. He could spot animals when we don’t even have a clue. For instance, he spotted a serval while he was driving and immediately pointed to us, so we were able to see this hard to find small cat. In Ngorongoro, he pointed to a small black dot far away and told us that was a rhino. We were able to confirm that with our binoculars and high zoom camera. We were amazed on how he could spot that with his bare eyes. Harun also kept our preference in his mind and tried his best to make us satisfied. With his help, we were able to collect the big 5 within the first several days of our safari. We were even able to see a leopard with her cub which is very rare to see. After successfully collecting the big five, Harun knows that we are interested in Cheetahs and river crossing, so he made every effort to find those and bring them in front of our eyes. With his help, we saw cheetahs couple of times (one time mama cheetah with her cub and another time two brothers) and an extraordinary river crossing. Harun’s commitment to customer satisfaction made our first safari trip to be so wonderful. We would highly recommend him to anybody!
When we planned our trip, we thought it was a once in a lifetime experience only. But now, we can’t wait coming back in a couple of years for another visit. This is all because Judith, Anitha and Harun and the entire Kojuu safaris crew. Their commitment to excellence and focus on customer satisfaction made our trip spectacular. Thanks to Kojuu, and we will be back!

Very caring, and thoughtful operators who went out of their way to ensure our trip was memorable.
Very good value-for-money and the communications were clear before we set-off. Thanks for being the custodians for climbing Mt. Meru, surely, I will never forget it.
