Amazing guide, amazing trip
5/5

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.

Amazing Experience
5/5

I was in Kirkmans Kamp Sabi Sands and Ngala Tented Camp in the Kruger National Park and the whole trip was perfectly organized and coordinated by Roho Ya Chui. I had a very good time, have met friendly People and see beautiful landscapes and wildlife.
I can only recommend Roho Ya Chui and would not hesitate to make my booking there again.

Professional and slick
5/5

Booked our first 'taster' safari with RYC with 3 nights/4 days in Kruger, including an evening game drive at Sabi Sands. Organisation was seamless and the experience excellent. Not really knowing what to expect I can only say the whole experience exceeded every expectation thanks to Ute and the team.

Very well organized from the beginning till the end
5/5

From my very first E-Mail, Ute the Safari coordinator was really great and helpful. Any question that I had was answered within less than a day! All the information were accurat and she was very friendly and I also got the feeling she was happy for us that we were able to see the Krüger.
The trip itself was unbelieveble. Our guide Trevor made sure we were comfortable, explained everything we questioned, was very funny and just the best guy to be around. He was very experienced and well connected to other guides so whenever there were rumors of seldom annimals - we were one of the first to see it.
The lodge Laughing Waters was a great place to relax. The food was excellent and the two owners made sure we felt at home!
In total it was an unforgettable journey and trip. The organization of the trip was perfect (that coming from a German ;-)

We had wonderful safaris in Phinda and Sabi Sands, South Africa
5/5

All 4 lodges were top class, the food was excellent, the guides were knowledgeable, staff was very attentive, and all connections to and from Johannesburg were flawless. Ute was very helpful in providing specific monthly weather information, which allowed me to choose best month for my photographic backgrounds.

Fantastic safari
5/5

We had an amazing time on our safari booked with Roho Ya Chui. It was so convenient to have the option to fly into Skukuza airport and arrive straight into Kruger. Laughing Waters lodge where we stayed was lovely - Gavin and Carol were so hospitable and the food was delicious. The itinerary for the safari was very good - 4 Kruger drives, the Panorama Route and a nighttime game drive in Sabi Sands. The drive in Sabi Sands was magical and we really appreciated being able to do it without having to stay in a private game reserve. Our dealings with Roho Ya Chui were very good - Ute was very helpful and very responsive. Overall a fantastic experience.

We think that what you organiced about our safari was that we hoped to get
5/5

We find that the 10 days together with our guide Jimmy from Wilderness Safaris was so well organiced. The tent camps in Kulala and Damara Land was so exiting to stay in and the staff in the camps treated us so well with theirs lovely meals out in the wilderness. Our guide Jimmy was so informative about Namibias biology, geology,historie, and the fight for independence And we saw a lot. The stay in Hansa Hotel was also very fine and a nice big contrast to the camps. Andersons camp , Ongava Game Park and Etosha was very fine too, only 1 day to short we think. 11 days would have been better then we could have enjoyed the area around the camp better.

Two different safari camps in Kruger - both excellent in their own way - fantastic animal sightings!
5/5

I found Roho through a Google search of safari operators. Although there was a list of packaged safaris Ute was very good in custom designing a trip for us and handling all the logistics associated with the transfers. She was excellent in communicating information and following up on questions.
The airport hotel exceeded my expectations. The Sabi Sabi Earth lodge was first rate with the accommodations and food being first class - the game viewing was excellent in the open bush. I had lower expectations for the Ngala tented camp but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodations, the friendliness of the staff and the great rangers that they had there. If anything the game viewing was better at Ngala but part of this may have been that the main safari lodge was closed so there were only a few people in a big private reserve. All in all probably the best adventure type vacations we have taken.

Ute was very helpful when booking the safari for my honeymoon
5/5

We had a fantastic safari in Botswana.
Ute was excellent to deal with. She has fantastic experience and gave me loads of information prior to booking the safari. She always managed to respond to all my emails in a timely manner.

The safari was magical. The accommodation and food was of high quality and the game drives and cruises were very exciting.

Personal and professional
5/5

I loved working with Roho Ya Chui to coordinate my safari because Ute not only made the whole experience very easy, but was diligent in answering all my questions and managing our trip in a very personal way. I came away very much feeling like I was speaking to another human being rather than being treated as a nameless faceless customer. The actual safari and hotel were also phenomenal. Laughing Waters Guest House made us feel comfortable and valued as guests, and served amazing food. The safari guides were fun and informative and really made the experience that much better (we absolutely loved Mandla and Mishak). Thank you for such a great trip!!
