Wrap up warm, but well worth doing.

A three hour game drive with a snack break in between. We saw so much game, with a highlight of 3 huge herds if buffalo stampeding past us down to the waterhole as we drank coffee during the break. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and could answer every question asked of her. My only gripe is the need to go to the main entrance of the national park in the northern sector to pay entrance fees, then driving to the southern part for the game drive, meaning a lot of driving in an open safari truck exposed to the elements on a bitterly cold morning. We were given blankets that were completely inadequate instead of lined ponchos that would have protected us better. Make sure you dress up with lots of warm clothes and ear protection it your doing this in winter. It did warm up quickly, however and the tour itself was tremendous.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had a tremendous game drive and that the highlight of watching three massive herds of buffalo stampede to the waterhole during your coffee break made for such a memorable experience. It's also wonderful to know that your guide's knowledge and passion enhanced your safari. We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the cold morning drive. During winter, the journey to complete park entry formalities can indeed be quite chilly, and we understand how the weather can affect comfort. Your feedback about the blankets is valuable, and we'll certainly review ways to improve the experience for our guests during the colder months. Thank you as well for sharing the helpful tip for future travellers to dress warmly and bring ear protection in winter. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable safari with Cuckoo Safaris in the future.

Great time had

Peter picked us up on time. He was very organised and gave us blankets knowing the drive would be chilly, not something we had thought about. He is very knowledgeable and gave us some interesting facts about the wildlife and the area. Very enjoyable game drive.

Our Morning on Safari

Itela and Kennedy were delightful hosts and guides, very personable. They arrived exactly on time and worked very hard to find as many animals as possible for us. When talking about the animals we did see, they shared their vast knowledge about what their actions and behavior were telling us -particularly the trumpeting elephant! We were given lots of time to take photos, too. We had a delightful tea break along the river and were blessed with beautiful weather. A lovely morning all around!

Incredible 3hr experience

An incredible experience! We preferred a morning nature drive in a national park for the thrill of searching for animals in their natural environment and the experience did not disappoint. Our guide Milton was very pleasant and knowledgable, eager to track animal paths and take us to different areas for us to have the best chance encounters with wildlife. We saw elephants, buffalo, hippos, kudu, antelope, zebras and giraffes. Easy and clear communication with the provider in arranging pickup location. Would certainly use again.
