Great operator who was very accommodating when changing plans
Cuckoo safaris was very reliable and communicated swiftly when there were any updates/ changes to schedule. Great service and everything was arranged prior to arrival. They were also amazing with accommodating last minute changes when we decided to add Victoria falls into our itinerary. Tour guides were amazing and we saw a lot of the Big 5 (3/5) while on this tour.

a professional and caring tour operator that made the whole safari experience smooth, fun, and unfo
i joined a safari tour with this company, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.
they picked me up exactly on time, and the guide was professional, caring, and explained everything in a clear and interesting way.
the vehicle was comfortable and spacious, which made the long ride very enjoyable.
throughout the day, you could really feel the professionalism and responsibility of the staff, and at the end of the tour they made sure to return us safely to the hotel.
it was an amazing experience and absolutely worth every penny.
highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized and truly enjoyable safari adventure!

Once in a lifetime experience!
Went on a six-day safari with Apex this march, and it was an incredible experience. The staff were super friendly, and we always felt safe and cared for — this was especially important to us since we were a group of young women traveling alone. We never felt exposed or worried at any point.
The hotels were great, with good food and comfortable accommodations. Our drivers cared about animal welfare and made sure to explain the ethical guidelines, which made the experience even more meaningful. They even helped us surprise one of the girls with a birthday cake!
Overall, it was a trip of a lifetime, and I highly recommend it!

Knowledgeable, experienced and helpful to costumers
If you’re thinking about booking a safari in Tanzania — do it with this company. I honestly don’t even know where to start because everything was absolutely perfect from day one.
First of all, a huge thanks to Winnie, who organized the entire trip. From the very beginning, communication was smooth, friendly, and professional. Winnie somehow managed to understand exactly what we were looking for — even without meeting us! And not only that, I even got 4 different specific offers (with day by day itinerary) about the safari options and she was insanely understanding and helpful. When I mentioned I really wanted to see lions, she suggested swapping parks and going to Ruaha instead of Mikumi and i was really grateful for that. Best decision ever! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a place more beautiful and raw than Ruaha.
The accommodation she arranged was unforgettable. Sleeping in an open hut by the river, falling asleep to the sounds of hippos and lions — that’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. And the lodge up in the hills? Way beyond anything I expected — stunning views, incredible food, and such a peaceful atmosphere.
Now, about our guides — Willy and K.P. Master— I can’t praise them enough! Willy did most of the driving and I felt completely safe the entire time, even on the bumpiest roads. K.P. has the eyes of a hawk and no animal could hide from him! Thanks to them, we spotted 4 out of the Big 5 within just a few hours of out first day in Mikumi, plus so many other animals I never imagined seeing up close. But what truly made them special was more than just their guiding skills. They were always full of energy (despite waking up super early every day), kind, open, and so knowledgeable, not just about wildlife, but also about Tanzanian culture, daily life, and traditions. We had amazing conversations comparing life in Tanzania and Slovenia, and I learned so much more than I expected.
This wasn’t just a safari, it was a full experience that touched every sense and left me with memories (and stories) for a lifetime.
If you’re still deciding who to book with this is your sign. Book with them. You won’t regret it.

Well organised tour with great experiences and without any problems
We went on a 6 day safari in April 2025 with Splendid Vacations. The tour was very well organised and the itinerary could be adjusted beforehand at our own request. Questions prior to the start of the safari were always answered quickly and there were no outstanding issues. The tour guide James was great and was one of the main reasons for the awesome experience . He was always on site at the agreed times and gave us great insights during the safaris, but also during the drives from one camp to the next. The camps were all very clean and in good condition.
The trip ended up being much more than we expected, was a extraordinary experience and we would do this again and again through Splendid Vacations.

Really great experience.
Our family trip was different because to Aitor and Gregori, who helped us organize our seven-day safari in Tanzania that included visits to Tarangire, Nrongoro, and the Serengeti. Everything went perfectly, including the hotel choices, our guide Nicko, and the driver Mike. The car and all of the experiences we had were amazing. I am really grateful that you made our trip so memorable. I heartily suggest Udare.

Nice park stays, delicious chef-prepared meals, Big Five sightings, and a fun driver "Rasta Man" ma
Our 4-day safari was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The accommodations within the national parks were amazing – comfortable, well-located, and truly immersed in the stunning natural surroundings.
A major highlight was the incredible food we enjoyed throughout the trip. Our personal chef, who traveled with us, prepared the most delicious meals, even in the heart of the wilderness! It was a real treat.
Of course, the wildlife viewing was spectacular. We were thrilled to see a huge variety of animals, including the coveted Big Five! Our guide was excellent at spotting wildlife and shared fascinating insights about the animals and their environment.
Our driver, who we affectionately nicknamed "Rasta Man," was fantastic! He was not only a skilled and safe driver but also incredibly friendly and had a great sense of humor, making the journeys between locations a lot of fun.
We wholeheartedly recommend this safari for anyone looking for an amazing wildlife adventure with top-notch accommodations, delicious food, and a fantastic guide.
