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.

Our operators, Andrew and Elicana, were knowledgeable, professional, and personable.
Our safari adventure with Serengeti Wakanda was nothing short of extraordinary! They flawlessly handled every detail of our trip from the moment we got to the airport to our departure. The attention to detail and customer service throughout let us not worry about a single detail - and we just got to enjoy what we were there for (the animals!).
We could not have had better guides, Andrew and Elicana. There wasn’t a single question about the animals or Tanzanian culture that they couldn’t answer. We could tell that they were highly respected by the other tour guides as well - I feel like we had the best of the best! They were friendly and professional. We miss them already!
The vehicle was comfortable and well-equipped, ensuring we were safe and had clear views of the wildlife. What truly stood out, though, was the personalized approach of the company. They took the time to tailor the experience to our interests, ensuring that we saw the animals and landscapes we most hoped to witness - including a lion kill!
I will be highly recommending Serengeti Wakanda to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. It was an adventure of a lifetime, and we are so grateful for the memories we created in the Serengeti with such a wonderful company.

Very interesting and relaxing
We ordered a 4-day safari from Meru slopes Tours & Safaris, joint tour. It was a great experiences for us (a couple 60+). Everything was well organized. Even staying overnight in a tent. The scenery was great. We saw a lot of animals, even had luck and saw the big five. The guides were very good, they found and pointed us animals and could tell about them and about the culture. It was nice that the jeep was full and we learned to know several people. We give high value to the way how the guides took care of the nature and followed the rules. Tourism protects the rights of the wild animals (I think that otherwise people would have destroyed them).
We took part also to other tours, where we met local people, make coffee, enjoy the nature and visit rural areas. Very interesting and relaxing trip, so much to see. I would like to go again.
I want to finish with the powerful words of one guide who said about this: we do not have much money, but we have peace. We love peace.

Best country in Africa ...so far...
I really enjoyed Kenya. I did a tour with Inspired feet Safaris which is a woman owned business. As a solo female traveller I felt that my needs were well understood. The safari was amazing. I felt safe and included in all the tour groups I joined. The wildlife was incredible and I saw almost everything I wanted too... missed hyenas and leopards but I know other groups saw them. I highly recommend both Kenya and the tour operator for travelling.
