A 11.5 hour long day trip. 3hrs river and 3 hrs land safaris were excellent. The provided lunch was very good.
A really nice experience! Especially the cruise on the boat was amazing! The guides were very motivated and could answer a lot of different questions. Thank you very much!
Excellent experience. The boat tour and safari trip were wonderful and we saw lots of different animals. The lunch was delicious and everyone was very friendly. Special shout out to our wonderful driver Blessing! Highly recommend!

A perfect organization. The welcome and transfer from Victoria Falls, the assistance at the border crossing, and the handoff to the guide on the Botswana side were very well managed. We loved the magnificent and perfectly narrated cruise, the lunch in a magnificent place... The vehicles (boat and cars) were clean and functional. We highly recommend this very serious provider and the very high-quality service.

My dad and I had a phenomenal experience on a day trip to Chobe National Park from Victoria Falls with Cuckoo Safaris and the Botswana-based sister company Puku Safaris. I have done a multi-day safari in Chobe on a previous trip, and I was worried that it would not be possible to experience the same magnificent wildlife, scenery, and intimacy on a day trip where time is a limiting factor. In fact, everything was just as good, and I actually think we managed to see almost as much of the park as I saw over four days before. I share this in the hopes that other travel planners who worry about having the *perfect* experience will feel encouraged to make time for the Chobe day trip if staying in Chobe is not an option - of course, I also have to recommend staying at one of the safari lodges in Chobe :) The morning began with a relaxed drive from Vic Falls to the Kazungula Border, where everything went smoothly and we met our safari guide, Vusi. We got lucky and happened to end up with a private tour for the day, but the experience would also be fine with other people! The morning boat tour was fantastic thanks to our boat guide, July. I was skeptical about doing the boat in the morning, but I am so glad we did because there were hardly any other boats out on the river. The timing was perfect so that animals were just beginning to come down to the river to escape the growing heat. Lunch at the fancy Cresta Mowana Hotel was excellent - buffet style and included in the booking price. Vusi truly made the trip with his passion and care on the afternoon game drive. We saw many of the major species within the first hour and spent the rest of the time searching for a pride of lions, which we finally found! We finished the game drive around 17:00 and were back for dinner in Vic Falls by 18:30. Thank you Vusi and July for the smooth and memorable experience! I hope to come back for one of your camping safaris to Savute and the salt pans!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! It truly means a lot to us that, even after experiencing a multi-day safari in Chobe before, you found our day trip to be just as rewarding. We're delighted that everything ran smoothly from the border crossing to the river cruise and game drive. It's wonderful to hear that July made your morning boat safari so enjoyable and that the early timing allowed you to experience the river with fewer boats and incredible wildlife sightings. We're equally thrilled that Vusi's passion, dedication, and determination to find the lions made your afternoon game drive so memorable. We're also pleased you enjoyed the buffet lunch at Cresta Mowana and appreciated the seamless coordination between Cuckoo Safaris and our Botswana partners, Puku Safaris. Thank you for recommending the Chobe Day Trip to other travellers. Your feedback will certainly encourage others who may be wondering whether a day trip is worthwhile. We can't wait to welcome you back for one of our camping safaris to Savuti and the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans for another unforgettable African adventure. Safe travels, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
All the drivers/guides were individually friendly and helpful but the trip was not well coordinated- the other family with us said that it felt like it was everyone's first day on the job! On the safari part there were no drinks for us- the driver apologised and said they forgot to give him the cooler. To his credit he did give the kids in our vehicle snacks. When we arrived for lunch, much of the food had gone and wasn't replaced. Our water safari was good, and he had been given drinks for us but no cooler, so stopped to get one- we got about 2.5hours land safari and 1.5hours river experience in the trip. When the cruise was over he wasn't sure where we should meet our guide, so he left us off at the starting point& it took maybe 15-20min for our driver to locate us. We had a good day but I'm not sure we would've done it had we known the amount of "down time"
Dear Patricia, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found all of our drivers and guides friendly and helpful, and that you enjoyed the game drive and boat cruise. We sincerely apologize for the coordination issues you experienced during your tour. The missing cooler and drinks on the game drive, the lunch service, and the confusion at the end of the boat cruise are not the standard we aim to provide. We have already discussed these matters with our operations team and partners to ensure better coordination in the future. Regarding the downtime, border formalities and the transfer between activities are unfortunately part of a day trip to Chobe National Park from Victoria Falls. While we always strive to minimize waiting times, some delays can occur depending on border traffic and operational logistics on the day. Your comments are valuable and will help us improve the overall experience for future guests. Thank you again for choosing Cuckoo Safaris, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better safari experience.
What a great tour. We got picked up at our hotel in Zambia and drove to the border where the guide gather all people from the tour. We started by a land safari where we got to see a lot of animals in their environment. After lunch by the park we boarded a small boat to see them from and in the river. It was magical. Our guide was absolutely brilliant giving us so much information about each species and having a great sense of humour.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a memorable Chobe Day Trip with us. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the seamless pick-up from Zambia, the land safari, the delicious lunch, and the magical boat cruise on the Chobe River.

We're especially pleased to hear that your guide made the day even more enjoyable with their knowledge, passion, and great sense of humour. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the team. Thank you for choosing Cuckoo Safaris. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable safari adventure in the future!
Everything listed In their description was 100% accurate. Pick up at hotel. Help at the boarder crossings. Amazing river cruise. Amazing buffet lunch. Amazing wildlife sightings. Very knowledgeable guides. I know you can’t predict where the animals will be, but it’s like we didn’t even have to try and we got to see baboons, elephants, warthogs, antelope, impalas, hippos, water buffalo, lions, giraffe, guinea hens, and even a python. We even witnessed 3 lions hunt and kill a water buffalo. It was incredible.

What a fantastic well organised excursion. Blessing was our friendly driver to Chobe from Victoria Falls Zimbabwe. We had a very good river guide, sadly do not remember his name. Very competent and informative. Wonderful sightings of the Hippos and Crocs. Elephants and Buffalo too. Amazing birdlife on the Chobe River. Lunch was superb in a new Boma area. Great selection of mains with dessert. Our afternoon game drive with Vusi was a highlight too. To see a pride of 8 lions at close range was truly a blessing. Such majestic creatures. A great trip which we can highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic and well-organized Chobe day trip.
