A truly wonderful day

erylis, Mar 2026

We had the most amazing full day trip. Figo our driver and guide for the morning trip was wonderful, knowledgeable, polite, courteous and had a great sense of humour. Lunch at the lodge was good and the chance to relax for an hour or so was very welcome. Our boat trip in the afternoon was enjoyable despite the torrential downpours! A very long day but well worth it. This was advertised as a small group tour, we were lucky to have this tour to ourselves! Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you had such an amazing full-day experience with us. It’s great to know that Figo made your morning tour so enjoyable with his knowledge, courtesy, and sense of humour. Our guides truly love sharing the beauty and stories of Victoria Falls with our guests, so your kind words mean a lot. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch break at the lodge and had a chance to relax before continuing with the afternoon activities. Even with the torrential downpours, it’s wonderful to hear that the boat trip was still an enjoyable part of your adventure—sometimes the rain just adds to the true Victoria Falls experience! 🌧️🌊 How lucky that the tour turned out to be private for the day! That often makes the experience even more special and personal. Thank you for recommending us, and we truly appreciate you choosing Cuckoo Safaris. We hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable adventure in Victoria Falls!

Best Day Trip from Victoria Falls – A Seamless Adventure into Chobe by Land and Water

Erin_L, May 2025

Absolutely worth the day if you're staying in Victoria Falls! This Chobe day trip was the perfect way to experience both sides of the park—on land and by water—with incredible wildlife viewing from start to finish. The logistics are a bit complex, with multiple handoffs between tour operators (we had Cuckoo Safaris on the Zimbabwe side and Puku Tours in Botswana). Communication during transitions was minimal, but everything ran smoothly, and it’s clear they’ve done this countless times. Trust the process and don’t be thrown by the quiet handoffs—it all comes together. The day starts early with a drive through Zambezi National Park, which felt like a mini night safari—we saw hyenas, giraffes, and more before even reaching the Botswana border. Once in Chobe, we had a thrilling game drive, tracking lions and leopards off-road. After a hotel lunch and a two-hour break, we finished the day with a river safari, gliding past pods of hippos, elephants, and an unbelievable variety of birdlife—the boat brought us so close to the animals it felt surreal. Some of the vehicles and boats were more rugged than others we saw, but the guides’ knowledge and passion more than made up for it. This is the best option from Victoria Falls to experience Chobe in a single day. Next time, we’re staying longer—but this was the perfect intro.

Great safari in Chobe

Gustavo_S, Nov 2025

We went in November, leaving Victoria Falls. It was an amazing day. I have done several safaris and this option of starting on land and ending at sea is an extra very nice that I recommend to everyone. We've seen a lot of elephants, giraffes, lions, hippopotams, crocodiles, antelopes. Lunch takes place at a buffet in a super beautiful hotel. Visiting the chobe is a great idea.
