Extremly friendly people, fascinating wildlife, beautiful scenery
We had our Safari in early May. So the number of tourists was low, which created a very relaxed atmosphere with a superb service. All facilities were open and well staffed. Beacon Tours had selected top level lodges. The peak temperature in Nairobi, Masai Mara and Nakuru Park was 25 degrees which was very comfortable. In four days we watched the fig four (only leopards kept hiding) from short distance. About 30 lions, 50 buffalos, 50 girafes, 30 elephants,hundreds of antilopes, impalas, zebras, white and dark rhinos, hippos, cheetas, monkeys, ostrichs, others birds....
ALL people were very friendly and helpful. We had the impression that a whole country was working on giving us the best vacation experience of our lifes.

Very rustic and humble, but ticks all the essential boxes.
Just got home from a dream come true safari. The game viewing is spectacular, our guide was Omary and he looked after us from day 1 and made sure we always had what we needed and that we were safe at all times.
He also went out of his way to try and get us to the sightings we really wanted to see.
The East African bush is magical and I will never forget the moments we experienced.
The surrounding areas are very rural, but the accommodation was clean and staff go out of their way to host and welcome you.
The chef who toured with us made delicious food everyday and we never went hungry, in fact, I've gained weight!
This is Africa, so you need to go with the flow.
Thank you Travel Africa!

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

Very well organised and great communication
it was really nice. Well organized. The tour guide was friendly and helpful. Day was nice as it turned out to be sunny in an hour of game drive. Saw 2 of the big 5 (rhino and elephant). Disappointed to not see any of the cats but i believe we cant do anything about it. Overall would recommend to anyone who has a day at Johannesburg.

They offer a broad possibility of excursions, so for everybody something nice to do!
Booked the 1 day Game Adenture to Pilanesberg. Communication upfront was good. And the excursion itself was a great experience! The start was not so good.... (I should have been picked up at 6.15, got a call that it was a bit delayed and at the end I was picked up around 7h....). But the game adventure was really nice! Also due to the ranger we had, the Buffalo soldier

Cape Town is nice. Must visit Kruger. Don't go to Joburg!
Cape Town is paradise. Kruger National Park gives memorable experience. Food is cheap and nice.
Joburg sucks!!!! So dangerous.

Great safari!
Everything was to our satisfaction, we saw lots of animals and our guide Gilbert was really great!! The only thing that was missing was lunch on the last day (as promised in the tour description)
