Friendly, knowledgeable and communicative.
We got picked up at 5:30 at our hotel and had the luxury of being alone in the car. The drive to the Moremi gate was smooth (as far as you can say that on gravel roads) and we saw lots of animals (elefants, hyena, buffalo, lions,…) during the day. We had plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the animals before we continued our drive.
Lunch was good and overall we really enjoyed our trip.
Make sure you have enough cash though as we were not able to pay by card.

Incredible hosts, great itinerary, details all perfectly attend to - you have to book with Cuckoo
Hi everyone. Well traveled 41 year old American male. Hired Cuckoo Safaris to coordinate the trip of a lifetime, beginning in Victoria Falls and crossing Botswana. The trucks were first rate, everyone speaks perfect English, the game drive guides were incredibly helpful and wanted us to have a great time. Nothing is spared - so many game drives, the food was excellent everywhere, very comfortable stays. We did Elephant Sands, Moremi, Chobe, and others on boats, helicopters, and 4x4s. Everything was great, I am super thankful.
Everything is reliable, everyone super professional, excellent value for your money and most importantly - my father felt very safe, very comfortable, and we saw every animal you could dream of. I have experienced many tour companies and Cuckoo is at the top of the list.
Simon and Tatenda are true professionals, always with smiles, always looking out for your interests. Book with them, they made the trip of my dad's dreams happen!

Fascinating safaris
It’s our 2nd time visiting Kenya. The trip was well organized and we have had an amazing experience exploring different parks and seeing a lot of wild animals. Many thanks to Mr. Le Li, who had been working hard to make our trip to Kenya Safe, memorable and fascinating. Our safari guide Solomon was friendly and knowledgeable. He is an experienced driver and drove us safely around the country. His predictions of animal movement often secure us a very good, sometimes the best position for photograph or observation. Meanwhile he followed the rules and showed respect for nature and wildlifes. We saw Martial Eagle capturing a newborn Thomson’s Gazelle, a male Impala running into a pride of lions (18 lions in total), as well as other amazing encounters. Would definitely recommend Sino Africa to my friend who is interested in visiting Kenya.

Outstanding Experience with Makario Safaris.
I spent a month traveling in East Africa (Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zanzibar). The entire trip was organized by Makario Safaris and it was an amazing trip. I worked with Mwaka Utanje who was patient, flexible, very responsive, and able to work in English or French. She helped me through the issues I had with making the wire transfers and everything fell into place. She organized my trip through three different agents, and it was seamless. Each portion of my trip exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were wonderful.
Godefroid, my guide through Rwanda was amazing. His knowledge of animals, birds, and Rwanda itself was fabulous. I learned so much while enjoying it all. We went to three National Parks, saw Gorillas, Golden Monkeys, Chimpanzees and so many animals in Akagera. I recommend it all.
The game drives in Tanzania were wonderful also, seeing all the animals that live there.
I was a solo traveler and never once felt unsure or unsafe. I would highly recommend Makario Safaris for travels in East Africa.

Amazing trip to Saltlick
We enjoyed our couple trip to Saltlick. The driver was really helpful and the hotel met all our standards. Food was great and staff service delivery was on point.
I will definitely come back and use Braverly as they planned this trip and ensure all our needs were catered for.

Very Professional
Alpha was helpful with all the bookings and itinaries. Quick response and useful information. We are so happy with our driver/ guide Timothy he was very knowledgeable about the destination. All together we did 12 days in uganda and most interesting part was the gorilla trekking in bwindi national park, the gorillas came so close to us and it was amazing. The second trekking was in volcano national park but we felt it was the same experience only that Rwanda gorilla permit was so expensive ($1500) Thank you every one..

Super good organized safari
We had an amazing gide Dennis for our safari tour! He knew all the good places to spot the animals and took us very close. He was very kind and answered all our questions. We had a very good time!
We had the trip of a lifetime which was effortless and seamless because of Explore and Travel Africa
Michelle from Explore and Travel Africa was amazing. She organised everything for us and the trip was absolutely seamless. We didn't have to think about anything as she organised it all. She was also very flexible to our needs.
Explore and Travel Africa provided all of the information we needed for the trip so it was easy. We didn't know much about South Africa or safaris so we didn't even know where to start and were a little bit nervous, but it was obvious from the first interaction that she had lots of experience and suggested the best accommodation and services based on what we were looking for and our budget. We had lots of questions and she was very helpful and responsive every time. We requested lots of quotes from other tour operators and hers was the best value for money. She also gave us an option for doing 2 nights in one place and 2 nights in another which other companies didn't suggest. We took this option and we are so glad we did!
I would 100% recommend this company.
