    If you are short on time this is the best safari you can get for a day! The land and water combination give you a well rounded view. Unbelievable experience!

    Exceeded my expectation. At every stage from booking the trip to its completion communication has been excellent. Everything was done as described and on time. Transfers were completed in a friendly and professional manner. The guides on the other side of the border were also friendly and professional. The added bonus was that we saw lots of animals and birds.

    Cuckoo safaris were excellent, we loved the fact that they were always reachable and ready to solve any issue. I would definitely recommend them.
    As for the trips, we've enjoyed the village tour, I wish we could have brought some used clothes for the people. We went to the supermarket instead and bought some groceries.
    The sunset cruise was very relaxing with some stunning scenery along the way. The safari in Chobe was good although probably too short. I would rather have stayed in Chobe for a couple of nights. We ended up going to Hwange instead, would write a separate review on that. Out of all activities, I would have personally skipped Boma dinner, as I don't eat meat, so I couldn't enjoy it as much as the meat lovers did.

    Went on this Mokoro day trip to the Okavango Delta - everything was great, I recommend. Communication and booking via email and WhatsApp was easy. I was picked up from my hotel as discussed, the transfers and driver were very comfortable, the Mokoro guide was great and the bush walk was fabulous too. This year in April things are a bit dried than usual and water levels are lower but the team informed me about this before I left. I still had a good time!

    The entire trip was wonderful: the game drive, lunch and river cruise were incredible. We saw a lot of animals, even though at this time of year they are more spread out because the rains have fallen. Our drivers and tour guides were punctual and professional. I recommend this trip!

    Excellent service from Livingston into Botswana... the border crossing was fast & very efficient. No lines. The boat ride was wonderful with up from viewing of the grazing herds and especially those animals that are in and out of the water. Hippos, lizards, lots of crocodiles, elephants, and Buffalo. The land cruisers were open seating. It is hot in October but dry.

    We went with this operator not expecting too much but the quality of service was outstanding. Communication via WhatsApp was great. We were picked from our hotel in time and quickly transferred to Botswana very smoothly. There we changed the vehicle to a legendary Land cruiser safari edition and went for an exciting game drive in Chobe. After this we had a delightful lunch and continued to a boat cruis on the Chobe river. This was a cherry on the cake. We saw huge crocodiles, hippos and of course elefants up close. The experience was amazing. I am really happy that I went with United Safari on this tour. Highly recommend operator!

    We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Livingstone which was made exceptional by having the 3day/2night trip to Chobe, provided by Kalahari Tours. Our guide, Six, was clearly experienced and knowledgeable, as well as being interesting and fun, and made sure that we got to see so many animals during our trip, the highlight being able to see families of lions at close quarters each day of our trip. I was nervous of the idea of camping prior to going however it truly enhanced the whole experience. The staff supporting Six - Bennett and Amos looked after us really well and provided great food. I would highly recommend Kalahari Tours

    The driver (Cliff) was very kind and he was very quick and good at communicating with us on WhatsApp.
    The car was comfy and clean and the drive was very smooth so we could relax and enjoy the journey.
    The day trip was very organised and there was never a point where we didn’t know what was happening.
    On the car journey home we drove past elephants beside the road so Cliff really was the best safari driver.

    Although short, our one-day Chobe Safari tour departing from Vic Falls was a truly memorable safari and in some ways eclipsed our earlier safari in Kruger National Park. Doing both a safari by boat and another in a 4x4 vehicle added variety to the day, with an excellent buffet meal at one of the resorts sandwiched in between. During the boat cruise, we saw many land animals on the shore, but most notably elephants splashing mud on themselves to cool down from the hot sunny day. We also saw crocodiles, giant lizards, and hippos. During our 4x4 drive, we saw HORDES of elephants, giraffes, buffalo, impalas, etc. in incredible numbers all around you - it was such an amazing sight. Finally, the true highlight was coming across these lions hiding in the shade of trees - we drove up super close to them and that was just such a surreal and still safe experience. Thanks to all the drivers and guides that made this such a great experience.

    Extremely satisfying 6 hours safari including breakfast-in-the bush! We saw elephant, giraffe, kudu, vast numbers of impalas, warthogs, a lot of baboons and numerous different birds.
