Great experience

5.00We had a great time especially the river safari. Lunch was decent too. One thing a little bit disappointed is that because we went there during the rainy season bushes were pretty tall and we couldn’t spot as many animals as we expected. But still highly recommended!
Best day trip for anyone short of time with a large list of animals and experiences to see.

5.00It was better than I could have planned and imagined for 1 day, and I'm a Zimbabwean! The organisation and execution through all the transit points was spot on, the guide was knowedgable mixed with fun, and the animals in the park were exceptional.
Not bad

3.00The morning in the boat was fantastic! Our guide did a great job of knowing what we cared about and catering towards that. Afternoon, was less good. The different guide seemed to not care much and rushed through the park. This booking was through Cuckoo Safaris, but all the guides and cars had a different logo on it. It felt like we were pushed off to someone else, likely because it was Christmas day. Overall, it was a good time, but just less than I was expecting.
A brilliant day.

5.00We had the best day. Norman our driver to and from Vic Falls was excellent. We were handed over to Figo at the border for the formalities and from there he was our Captain and guide on to the river cruise. We wear lucky to only have 4 in the group so it very much felt like a private tour. Figo was an excellent quide and tried to locate as many animals as possible. After a lovely buffet lunch at a lodge on the river, we were handed on to Vusi + 2guides (sorry can’t remember their names). Again Vusi was brilliant, had such knowledge plus tracking skills. We saw everything we hoped for except lions, we saw prints just not cats. I use a stick and everyone from start to finish made sure I had all the assistance I needed and couldn’t have been more helpful. They even had a ladder to assist getting in to the jeep. Getting from the car to the boat was over uneven areas and getting on to the boat was slightly challenging but Figo was always on hand to assist. Again we had the best day and saw so much more than we thought we would. Chobe really is an amazing area with so much wild life. Everyone we met from Cuckoo tours couldn’t have been more polite, helpful, knowledgeable and above all great fun. Thank you so much for an amazing day.

5.00Simon and Blessing helped us to have a wonderful day. The transfer was seamless, the boat trip was enjoyable and the jeep trip even more so. We saw lions, elephants, giraffe, various 'deer', buffalo, hippos and a wide range of bird life including king fishers and fish eagles. The lunch at a lodge was excellent. Our driver had caoes to hand for the torrential downpour! Just should have realised a single entry visa to Zimbabwe does not cover Botswana!!
Great day out

5.00Really great day of adventure. Nice small Group of 9+1 guide. Saw many animals on the game drive including a lion, giraffes, so many antelope, kudus, elephants, hippos, birds of prey etc etc… Then had lunch along the Chobe River at a wonderful hotel which was lovely. Lastly has a cruise along the river was excellent. More animals, elephants, hippos, crocodiles and buffalo. The journey there was great in an air conditioned van with lovely interior, the drivers were all amazing. What a wonderful experience. :)
Was quite nice but not worth the effort

3.00From the pick up hotel (Victoria Falls) to the return it took 11.5 hours! the game drive took 2 hours, the boat safari 2 hours and an hour we had lunch break. So spent 6.5 hours on arrival and departure, including at least 1.5 hours for the Zimbabwe-Botswana border crossing. All the drivers we had were very nice and tried, unfortunately not very many animals seen at the game drive and also at the boat safari, but nobody can help it. It was nice but not worth the effort for us
Amazing experience

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful day trip today and are extremely satisfied. The whole schedule was well-organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. Our driver and guide were very patient and attentive. They carefully explained the characteristics and habits of the animals we saw, and kindly pointed out wildlife we would have missed otherwise. It was a fantastic experience overall, highly recommended!

5.00Fantastic day trip to the Chobe National Park! From our driver from Victoria Falls to the border who was very nice and easy to talk to, to how that took care of us once we crossed into Botswana! Our land driver explained how they look for animals (look at fresh prints in the sand!) to the lunch and then finally finished the tour in the water which was so great to see elephant crossing the Chobe River and relaxing as well. Overall highly recommend!
small group safari

5.00Perfect small group safari that’s what you’re looking for. The only negative point was that the lunch was with all the other safaris that day in a hotel noisy buffet. However, we weee pleasantly surprised when after lunch we had a small boat just for our group rather than the big group boats. This made the final river cruise super special. I’ve never seen so many elephants and hippos.
