5 giorni - Pacchetto quadruplo Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana e Namibia

I would recommend this tour! I had an amazing time on this tour. It was kind of like a small group tour with a private tour feel. Since it’s customizable, it’s not always the same people you’re with. The tour is well-organized considering the amount of time and the border crossings procedures. They made the country border crossing seamless, handing us from one guide to the other. Shout-out to these people who made our trip memorable.

The experience was good, the night safari with dinner, was spectacular. The Chobe River is fantastic. The guides were helpful and punctual, with knowledge of the safari. The hotels, simple but with very good service and cleanliness.

The tour was very well organised and very well coordinated… Replies to our queries were very prompt and they will update us on the pick up time for the following day.. We were very well taken care of right from the time we landed. The accommodation provided was clean and comfortable. The lunch and dinner included in the package was luxurious! The guides helped us through numerous boarder crossings.. and when they realised we might be in a bit rush to get to airport, due to longer than usual queue at the crossing …they specially arranged another vehicle just to make sure we get to the airport in time.. We love all the guides we met.. Special Thanks to Blessing who who picked us up and coordinated our departure.. Pretty Ms Delphister from Zambia side who pointed out the best picture spots.. Vusi ( Botswana safari ) - he’s the best! We saw a cheetah and 2 lioness and a lion.. he really took pride in his job! We’ll really recommend this tour …

I recently completed this tour and cannot say enough to recommend it. It was well planned with excellent accommodation, activities and transportation.

We booked the 5 day quadruple package. Wonderful holiday with knowledgeable Thuba as our guide in Zimbabwe and attend to our needs and requests. Itinerary was according to booking. Almost every leg of the itinerary was filled with excitement and surprise. starting from the airport. 2nd day game drive with Nixon was excellent, and the bush dinner was a great experience. 3rd day morning river cruise in a boat on Chobe river with July as our guide was amazing. We seen hippo, croc, big herd of elephants and the beautiful scenery, Thanks to July experience navigation on the river. We are all thrilled. Very important, bring child birth cert if traveling with them. Custom Legal requirements to prevent child trafficking in Africa. Overall a very enjoyable and satisfied holiday with family.

Everything perfect, I highly recommend them! They arranged for me to visit Victoria falls by picking me up directly from the airport. They were hyper punctual and precise, making me visit first the side of Zambia where the talented Deo accompanied us and then the side of Zimbabwe with the equally good Thuba. On the second day they organized a game drive in the Chobe national park where everything was impeccable. If you have to organize in Victoria Falls or Chobe National Park I highly recommend them!

This was a trip for my 22 year-old, myself, and a friend. When planning an adventure so far from home, it’s so important to have great organization. From the very beginning, from the moment I started making inquiries, Cuckoo Safari was very responsive with messages. They made me feel very comfortable before even arriving in the country. Their organization and proficiency continued throughout our entire stay. Our guides and the office used WhatsApp to stay in touch, so we could always ask questions when needed. To mention a few of the staff we met: Simon was a stand-out, we met him the first day and he also drove us from Vic Falls to the border of Botswana and gave us a very good understanding of the area, sharing information the entire ride! Felix, from the company booked to transport us for our sunset dinner cruise was a friendly and informative driver. And Figo, from the sister company of Puku Safari in Botswana was a wonderful guide for our first game drive in Chobe. Everyone at the entrance to Chobe and other 4 x 4s knew him and shared information when game-spotting. Regarding the activities: we had an amazing variety of activities in our itinerary, and it allowed us to experience so much in a short time. The sunset cruise on the Zambezi with drinks and snacks was wonderful. We really enjoyed being on the river that first night, it was very relaxing. For those of you who enjoy gin, there are some craft-flavored varieties that are made locally that were delicious. It was awesome to walk up to the boat landing, and have warthogs there to greet us! The game drive in Zimbabwe and bush dinner at the Livingstone reserve was absolutely wonderful. It was so fun to stop for happy hour in the bush, with a bar right on the grill of our vehicle! And, dinner under the many stars was amazing with a wide variety of food choices. We were also very happy to have the opportunity to see rhinos on this game drive. Our tours of both sides of Vic Falls were very nice. Be prepared to get wet! We wore our sandals that had rubber grips on the bottom, and that was a better choice than sneakers and fine to walk in. Our friend had to wear sneakers and they were soaked through during the first few minutes! So, if you only bring one pair of shoes, they are going to need to dry out before wearing them again! Our time in Botswana was great. We truly enjoyed being on the river and on the game drives in Chobe. When staying at the Chobe Safari Lodge, the activities of the river game drive and bush game drives are organized through the resort. Of note, we had a much better experience with Puku and with our final driver Sammy (organized through the resort). One question to ask the Guide you are assigned to when the hotel is organizing the game drive is does he use the radio to communicate with other drivers while on the game drive. It’s really important that they share information, because then we had a much better chance of seeing animals. When one driver had located something, and shared that information, then the rest of us were able to take advantage of it. The second driver that we had (from the resort) did not communicate with anyone, and it was the experience where we saw the least in the park. The walk on Impalila Island was very informative, although Namibia has just raised the cost of an entry visa to US$90! And, the immigration service was not well organized at all, taking us more than 30 minutes to enter the country, even though there was no one else in line. We saw that there is the opportunity for an online E Visa in a sign at the little immigration office, so would recommend that anyone doing this part of the itinerary takes advantage of that. You will be approached by children, most likely, during the village walk. If I had known this, I would have brought items like school supplies to hand out. At the central baobab tree, there are women selling handicrafts. You can buy from them in US dollars, and you can also give a donation that supports the entire village. As for the accommodations: both Pioneers Lodge in Zimbabwe and Chobe Safari Lodge in Botswana were wonderful places to stay. If you were interested in any spa services, we would recommend having those in Zimbabwe, as the prices in Botswana were even more than I would pay back home in the USA! Other notes: bring USD. You can use them just like home In Zimbabwe and for tourist shopping in Botswana and Impalila Island. Feedback: one thing that would’ve been helpful, on our very organized day by day itinerary would be to note which company was providing our transport or activity. For example, if we knew when Puku was picking us up, and when Chobe Safari lodge was organizing the activity, it would have been very helpful. Our sincere gratitude, and thank you to Cuckoo Safari such a wonderful experience! We would be happy to come back again and use your services!

This trip was perfect. We are a family of 4 with 2 small kids that have visited many countries. Long we have dreamed to visit Africa with them, but most of the safaris does not allow kids until a certain age. This tour allowed us go with kids, and they made it very easy to allow the kids enjoy the experience. Finally, my brother and my sister in law joined us and later a friend also joined. At last, we were a group of 7 and we were the only ones in the tour, so we had a private tour that fit our needs. The boat experience during the first time was very calming and soothing, and the perfect way to kick start the trip. We loved visiting the Victoria Falls. It was a remarkable moment see this nature majesty. So we recommend you get spare clothes to change to dry clothes after the experience and also shoes that can be wet. As it involved a lot of walking, our kids were very tired and also very wet because of the power of the falls. We talked to the guide and rearranged our experience in Zambia to skip the walking. All the game drives were superb. Our kids were amazed by all the animals we got to see and went straight to school talking about the experience. The Impalila island in Namibia was also a great school for the kids. We got to see how the community lives and my kids even had an amazing connection with the kids, with whom they played for a while. The accomodations were outstanding. Loved our place in Zimbabwe and were amazed by our place in Botswana. As we were a family, we were assigned an amazing room with the river view. All food included were superb. We can't thank enough to all who made possible this great experience. Drivers, tour guides, game drive drivers. Thank you for the deep side of our hearts. We have traveled extensively to half of the world, but certainly this was the trip of our lives!
