Roho is very patient to our requests and made all the good suggestions for our trips.
It’s has been well arranged trip. We have seen the big 5 and many more. The best experience has been a kill by three cheetahs and a ground encounter of a hyena. We have endless of activities and less sleep time.
Our guide suggested Victoria fall at Zimbabwe is a wise choice during this season. We would have no or little waterfall view from Zambia.

Extraordinary safari in Zambia at Baines River Camp
This was the second safari that we have booked with Roho Ya Chi. The company is thorough, honest, has great customer service, and excellent attention to details. I am in the process of booking next year's safari with them as this is being written!

Amazing trip.....Ute did a great job in organising the trip for us
- Quick and informative responses in the preparation of the trip.
- Whole trip was very well prepared and staff took very well care of us during our trip.
- All lodges and staff were great and very helpful. The accommodation at Pangolin has exceeded our expectations. The welcome entertainment (singing and dancing of the staff) at the Khwai Bush Camp was heartwarming.
- Special thank you to our tour guides Aubrey at Pangolin and Sinka at Khwai Bush Camp. They did a great job!

Outstanding experience for our safari. Everything planned in detail and intimerary followed.
Communication, logistic and choice of safari lodges was to our full satisfaction. What more is there to desire?
Many gamedrives, boatsafaries, excellent management and mostly good food and sercvice. Chobe game lodge need to improve service, cooking and undrestanding of international travellers.

Exactly what we requested and exceeded our expectations!
Working with Ute at RYC was a pleasure from the start. Of all the companies I contacted she was the only one to take the time for a phone call and listened to everything I had to say. Clearly she heard me and was able to understand the nuances of what we wanted and offered us a trip plan that matched our needs. Not only was the preparation easy and fun but the resulting trip was everything we could has asked for and more! We stayed in 4 camps over a 12 days period. All transport and activities were taken care of with options to tweak on site. The camps and their staff were not only hospitable and a delight to be with but knowledgable and generous with all kinds of information regarding nature, Bostwana and the Bastwana people. It was a true cultural experience.
I have already passed on RYC's information to inquiring friends and hope that they too will have the 100% positive experience we did with this superior outfit.

Very helpful and always there when we had questions or needed to make changes
Communication and Service was great at all times. The trip exceeded our expectations. The 3 camps we stayed at were very different experiences, which I believe added to our experience. Connections all went smooth and there was a lot of moving around. Trip of a lifetime is a common expression for something like this and I believed it met that expectation.

Flawless Safari Experience from an Exceptional Safari Company
Throughout the booking process and up to our departure, Ute of Roho Ya Chui provided expert guidance and put together an itinerary that worked perfectly for our group. We initially spoke over the phone then subsequently completed the transaction via email. Communication was timely, clear and precise. Our 14-day Safari adventure was a dream from beginning to end. We didn’t have to worry about anything. For example, we learned flight departure times often change at the last minute with these short flights and our handlers were well aware of every change. In fact, we stopped paying attention to departure details as we knew someone would make sure we got to our next destination on time. We simply were able to enjoy the Safari experience without having to worry about details. Our handlers worried about details for us. Additionally, everything from lodges to inclusions were as advertised. I highly recommended using Roho Ya Chui to handle your Safari.

Very good advices received throughout the preparation phase which led to a wonderful experience.
Ute was extremely helpful and her advices and recommendations proved to be of real value once we started our trip. The safari tour was just perfect, Gavin and Gap Tours were a solid and reliable partner. We could enjoy our holiday to the fullest knowing that we are surrounded by professionals.

Great Communication, Beautiful Accommodations, Amazing Wildlife
We began working with Ute earlier this year. When we initially reached out, we weren't certain on dates, so in the coming months as we determined our timing, we had to follow-up with Ute several times to find dates that would work with the itinerary we wanted. Ute was very accommodating throughout this process, and planned a great trip for us. Because of the date change, one of the initial lodges she recommended wasn't available, so she recommended Pangolin Lodge in Chobe. We were a bit nervous as it hadn't yet opened, and was only scheduled to open one month before our trip. As it turns out, we're quite lucky we ended up with this accommodation as it was amazing! They offer photo safaris with really nice cameras, and we got amazing photos with the team. We saw all kinds of animals and had a great time. The lodge was great as was the food. Our guide Aubrey was fantastic, as was all of the staff at the lodge. Prior to Chobe, we stayed at Victoria Falls Hotel, and initially had a bit of an issue when we checked-in with two twin beds in each of our two rooms. We didn't believe this had been booked for us as Ute knew we were two couples traveling. After speaking to the Victoria Falls Hotel and also Ute via WhatsApp/e-mail, we were able to get the beds pushed together and it turned out just fine. They also left each one of our rooms a bottle of wine, which I imagine was because of this mix-up - very thoughtful and appreciated. Lastly, we stayed at Machaba Camp in Okavango Delta - likely the best aspect of our entire trip. The staff there are absolutely amazing, our guide Glen was fantastic, the food was wonderful, saw lots of animals. This was one of - if not the best - trips we've ever taken and couldn't be happier with the experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Roho Ya Chui and Ute. We would certainly use them again in the future. We never use travel agents and typically book directly ourselves, but glad we booked how we did. Knowing the price of each of the the individual components of the trip, the overall price was completely fair. I believe it was actually better priced to book together with Roho than had we booked each piece on our own (plus the complexity aspect!) Thank you Ute and Roho!!!
