Reviews
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.

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.

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!
