Cooks Air Tours Unclaimed

We have put together tailor made tours and flying safaris in and around South Africa for the past 30 years and believe in giving our guests the personal attention they deserve 1976 saw the start of our first adventure tour – a safari to the Okavango Delta in Botswana

Booked the 9 day safari after online research and delighted with the result, it was amazing from start to finish. We saw the Kruger from 3 different perspectives, the Southern Kruger national park, the Tshukudu private reserve, and the highlight which was the very private lodge at Klaserie in the Greater Kruger. It was so comfortable and relaxing and completely in the wilderness. We felt very special with private game drives and superb food cooked just for us in such a wonderful location. Everything on the whole trip was wonderfully organised, our guide William was amazing, and the accommodation and food everywhere were top class. It all acted as a superb background to the real highlight, the wildlife itself. We had so many amazing wildlife experiences from the large to the small including close encounters with feeding lions, observing cheetahs immediately after a kill from almost within touching distance, and inquisitive rhinos whilst on foot. A real highlight was following wild dogs to a kill with hyenas and vultures circling, and then watching just metres from the pack as the pups were fed meat brought back to them. In the brief time outside of the Kruger reserve other experiences were packed into the itinerary, all of them special in their own way. There was wonderful scenery at God’s Window, Blyde Canyon and potholes, along with animal interactions at rehabilitation centres with elephants, cheetahs, vultures, eagles, and even a hippo. This wonderful trip will certainly not be our last safari.
