Exceptional service and advice - great personal commitment
I have just come back from a fantastically beautiful trip that took me from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe to the Okavango Delta to Botswana and finally to Mozambique to the beach of Vilanculos. The trip was designed and organized by Ute Sonnenberg and put together absolutely perfectly according to my wishes and needs. Every detail was thought through and designed. In addition to her passion, creativity and commitment to her customers, Ute knows her way around. She knows the "right" travel times, the countries, the places and the lodges and camps that have made my vacation once again an unforgettable and breathtaking trip.
This is already my 4th trip that Ute has curated for me. Each time she succeeds in conjuring up something very special. For Ute, the customer is absolutely the focus, she accompanies you from the first idea of the trip to the end. She is there from start to finish, even if questions arise along the way.
Ute is also a true source of enriching tips and recommendations that have accompanied me on my journey and made it this wonderful and unforgettable experience.
I am already looking forward to my next trip in Africa. I'm curious and excited to see where I'll end up then. It will be a breathtaking experience again, thanks to Ute!
Thank you for everything, dear Ute!
Committed to providing excellent advice and exceptional service
My mother was visiting South Africa from England in December and we decided to go on a safari to celebrate her being with us. We have had excellent safari recommendations from Roho Ya Chui in the past and we approached Ute again for advice for this safari. She recommended Notten's Bush Camp in the Sabi Sands, we accepted the recommendation, and she checked availability and booked rooms for us. Notten's was the perfect recommendation, it is a special safari lodge and we had marvelous sightings during our stay. Roho Ya Chui translates to Soul of the Leopard and, perhaps prophetically, and because our guide and tracker were skilled in finding leopards(!), we had sightings of four different leopards during game drives. We also had superb sightings of lions, rhino, elephants, buffalo and a cheetah with cubs. And sightings of animals which do not qualify as 'big five' - giraffe, zebra, warthog, many species of buck, hippo, crocodile, baboons, vervet monkeys, squirrels, mongooses, and more - were just as enjoyable. The lodge staff were amazing and the food was delicious. The lodge has a large swimming pool which is perfect for swimming lengths. Booking through Roho Ya Chui was an easy and efficient process and the safari was outstanding value for money. We booked through Roho Ya Chui because Ute is passionate about safari, conservation and sustainability and she has vast knowledge and experience of travel for safari in Africa. Five stars for Roho Ya Chui and five stars for the safari.

I had a fantastic experience - superior communication, top quality choices, and reliable service.
I recently worked with Ute Sonnenberg at Roho Ya Chui for an adventure trip in Cape Town, South Africa and I highly recommend her. I had a list of activities my nephew and I wanted to do and Ute expertly selected quality, reliable companies for our activities. She also arranged a great hotel and transportation for everything. She was very communicative before and during our trip. Also, during our trip when one of our activities needed to be rescheduled a few times due to weather (paragliding can be hit or miss based on the weather), Ute went above and beyond keeping us informed, working with the company to get us rescheduled, and suggesting alternative activities when paragliding was rescheduled. She was tremendous and the trip was well organized and everything went smoothly! I’ll also note I worked with Ute before on a safari trip in 2017 which was also a fantastic experience, so as a repeat customer I highly recommend Ute Sonnenberg and Royo Ya Chui.

Ute was the epitome of organization and communication during the planning and time of our travels.
Ute created the perfect trip for our first time in Africa. The variety of camps gave us the opportunity to experience 3 areas with many different animals, cultures and styles of lodgings. She was so organized and detail oriented and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. Her constant communication with us during our safari was helpful and reassuring. The Staff at all the camps were outstanding and made our trip that more enjoyable. We felt the value of what we spent on our trip was fair and we felt we got everything we expected and more. My husband and I were not with a group, but we felt included with the other guests at the camps. We extended for five days in Cape Town and Ute booked us at a lovely boutique hotel which was in a perfect location. She organized 2-day tours for us-one to the Winelands and the other to the Cape of Good Hope with excellent guides. She also booked us in several wonderful restaurants in Cape Town and provided ideas for other sites to tour on our own in the city. We look forward to booking our next African adventure with Ute and Roho Y Chui!

Our tour exceeded our expectations! Ute did an exceptional job planning our 18-day trip!
Ute did an exceptional job listening to our preferences, offering options and explaining the differences. We provided a budget and her options fell at the lower end of our budget, so we were able to tweak some choices and still stay within budget. We booked a year in advance and Ute continued to provide advice and support to us throughout the entire planning process and while we were on our trip. The apps she provided educated us on vaccine requirements, tip recommendations, Visa requirements as well as a downloadable itinerary with all details needed during travel. We knew if we had any questions or concerns, she would be there to assist us, even on a Sunday!
Every part of the vacation was planned for a beautiful experience and executed with perfection. The camps and safaris we experienced were incredible. The teams working at the locations could not have been more helpful, sincere and accommodating. The countries we visited were so beautiful. The animals we saw and the information we learned from our guides exceeded our expectations. We truly felt like we had the best of the best at every place we visited. We highly recommend Roho Ya Chui and Ute for planning your vacation!
