Reviews
Amazing guide, amazing trip
We had a stellar experience on the safari designed and set up by Roho Ya Chui. Ute was very responsive to questions, and all the transfers between airports and camps were handled smoothly. We felt well taken care of. Our guide Manu was very knowledgable, personable, fun and patient with our million and one questions about what we were seeing. All the lodgings were lovely, the food great, the staff responsive. This whole experience was beyond my expectations.

Awesome service
Ute worked with me for weeks as we put together a wonderful trip. Everything was taken care of and even when a few issues came up the response was immediate. I would recommend Roho Ya Chui to anyone and have recommended Ute to our friends.

Uncomplicated and good value for money
We found Roho Ya Chui online comparing different agencies. After the first contact communication with Ute went very easy and open and we found all our questions quickly answered and we finally booked the safari, Vic-Falls, Cape Town package. Arranging an extension to the trip was also no problem. The trip itself was great, everything was even beyond our expectation. Pick-ups were punctual and reliable. We met nice people in the camps and had great guides. We liked the atmosphere in the lodges especially in Pom Pom with the spacious tents. Going in the rainy season was no problem as we had no drop of rain .... What I missed was a bit physical activity such as hiking or walking, as for safety only drives are being done, but that we knew before and in Cape Town we could finally walk a lot by climbing the table mountain, discovering the city and its surroundings.
We never went on package tours before but this kind of trip Africa it was the right thing to do, especially being there for the first time. I hope to go there again soon!

Safari and Zanzibar
This trip was planned to perfection by Roho Ya Chui, every connection, flight and accommodation was perfect. My safari guide was very experienced and helped me get the best of my trip. Zanzibar was a perfect come down after the excitement of chasing chui's!! I would recommend Roho Ya Chui for their excellent arrangements and the personal touch- answering stupid questions from Safari novices!

Great Safari
The operator was very responsive in arranging the 3-day package through very many emails.
The overall safari went smoothly including transfers and pick up and drop-offs.
One Tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and committed. Other was not so much.
Operator should accept US CC to avoid Paypal surcharge.

Once in a lifetime trip, safaris were amazing, transfers were perfect and the lodgings were superb
We went on a 3 country 9 day adventure. Our trip involved 4 light aircraft transfers, one regular flight, two road transfers, one of which was a road to ferry to road transfer. Every single one of them occurred smoothly. The one hotel and two lodges we were booked at were fabulous and first class. The two sets of safaris we went on were once in a lifetime adventures and in both locations we saw the big five (once in one drive!) plus numerous other animals. Ute Sonnenberg was there every step of the way before we left with immediate answers to the numerous questions we had. She planned an amazing trip.

Christmas at Sabi Sabi
A great lodge in a great reserve. knowledgeable rangers and trackers meant we saw all the big 5 and much more. food and beverage at the lodge were great and the staff looked after us very well. nice rooms, nice bar, nice spa and a relaxing stay when not on the game drives.

Roho Ya Chui delivered the trip of a lifetime!
A visit to South Africa including a safari has been a life-time dream, and we were thrilled with how it worked out. We considered several different organizers and were impressed with Ute's responsiveness and knowledge. She guided us in our selection of safari lodge. Some were too rustic, some too expensive, so based on her recommendation we decided on Kapama River Lodge and were delighted. It exceeded our expectations, was great value, and we saw all the Big Five. Ute planned a week in Cape Town for us, and again her hotel recommendation was perfect for us. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred on the Waterfront and were delighted with the location, the views and the yummy breakfasts. Ute was a wonderful communicator and took care of every little detail. Our transfers worked like clockwork and our whole adventure went off without a glitch. She gets my highest endorsement and I would use her again in a heartbeat.

Unique experience in South Africa
Roho Ya Chui has organized our trip to South Africa on very short notice, but with great attention to detail in selecting the most appropriate tour, hotel and connection flights. It was a very unique and relaxing experience, as every piece fell into place, every booking was made correctly, every partner chosen was competent and friendly.
I very much can recommend RoHo Ya Chui for Safari Tours.

An excellent combination of Kenyan lodges, with superb service and connections.
The tour organised by Roho Ya Chui was perfect. I normally do not use tour operators and thought this time I wanted an expert. I accepted the tour as presented and it was only once we completed it that it became clear that the combination of different lodges, landscapes and experiences had been carefully considered and was a great balance. It was a first class experience with an authentic and very private and personalised tour with more wildlife than we could ever have imagined.
