The Best of Zambia this time went through the Republic of South Africa...
We were entirely satisfied under each point of view by the professional work of Roho Ya Chui. The lodges as well as the safari tours were completely corresponding to our expectations. We highly appreciated your immediate reaction (Ute) at Lower Zambezi where we faced a small misfit with Kiambi Lodge management team at the moment of paying our final account with them.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Ute helped my friends and I plan our dream trip to Southern Africa - Victoria Falls, safari in Botswana, and Cape Town. The trip was exactly what we wanted and more! We stayed in lovely accommodations with the most incredible staff. We were made to feel like VIPs everywhere we stayed. The safari was amazing - we would never have thought we'd see as many animals or have the type of experience we did. We did several of the excursions in Cape Town and felt like we saw it all in a very short time. It was truly the trip of a lifetime.
Ute was amazing and planned everything perfectly. We didn't experience any hiccups at all on the trip - all of our pickups occurred without problems, all the lodges were expecting us, and all of the excursions went off without a hitch. Ute went above and beyond to accommodate us when we decided to cancel one of our activities at the last minute. I would not hesitate to use Roho Ya Chui for a trip in the future.

Awesome
Where do I start, Ute was great, we got our whole experience by default, and we loved every bit of it. First of all where we wanted to stay was fully booked so Ute suggested doing 3 Nights at Nottens Bush camp, this place was excellent, such a personalised experience, the owner socialised and ate with us, we loved this and got alot of information from this experience, our guides here were wonderful. For the second half of our stay Ute suggested 1 night at Rhino Post Lodge, with A Game Drive and 2 nights at Rhino Post Camp with one of these nights in a sleepout with us doing Walking Safaris. But for some reason I thought it was the other way round with the Game drive, I thought I didn't like walking Safaris. The Rhino Post Lodge tried everything to change it for me, but couldn't as they were totally booked. Although it turned out we had the camp all to ourselves on the first night and we were told we could do a part walk and part drive if we wanted to.
All I can say is that I loved everything about it, our walking/drive Safari was awesome. We came across some Vultures in a tree so we decided to head in that general direction, as we were going in we then saw a Hyena hanging around and we started to get excited, by this time all of our senses were on edge, we then saw this massive Lion, as soon as it saw us he took off, we did manage to see the remains of his kill.
Moe, our guide was awesome, a very knowledgeable man, very nice and respectful, what an assett to this company.
I must say I am still not a big Walking Safari fan but I absolutely love the Walking/Driving Safari that we were offered. But that is just me.
We then had a night at the Sleepout, boy was this an experience, sleeping out under the stars, actually not much sleeping was done with the Lions and Hyena calling all night and the Elephants that feeding all around us, crashing trees.
We saw loads and loads of animals and I would not hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone, we would definitely do this trip again

Best vacation ever
We were late in booking our safari. As I travel several times a year to Africa, mostly with one month - or less - notice, it didn't occur to me that many (most?) people plan their safari months in advance.
After some back and forth with Ute Sonnenberg - and being on a "waiting list" - we spent six days/nights on safari in and around Kruger National Park in South Africa. Communication/updates were frequent and efficient and as indicated above, my wife and I who have traveled the world agree that this was the best trip ever. It was not our first safari, but it seemed that everything was hand picked and that we were the center of attention.
The highlight were the wild dogs and the leopards. But then there was the 18 member lion pride... and soo much more
Very helpful with bookings. The safari tour itself was superb, all arrangements and transfers worked
Much better than expected. Lodgings were superb and the way the safari was organised worked really well.
Would highly recommend this tour to anyone and you will have a great experience

Very professional, personal and pleasant throughout
Our experience with Roho Ya Chui was extremely positive and exceeded our expectations. Our communication was with Ms. Ute Sonnenberg who was very responsive from the start and helped us plan the vacation experience we were looking for from A to Z, and everything worked very smoothly and according to plan. The safari tour itself was an unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend Roho Ya Chui to all our friends.

Another Flawless Trip
This was our second trip with Roho Ya Chui and hopefully won't be our last. We were always well informed about our trip from the planning through the end of our trip. Her accommodation recommendations were exactly what we wanted and she worked with us in planning to make sure that we had the experience we expected. We had several locations for our travel in Tanzania and Kenya and the drivers and in country flights were timely. At the end of our time in Tanzania, we were met by a driver who expertly guided us through immigration in Kenya and onto our flight to Kichwa Tembo. Our driver from the local Nairobi airport to the international airport back to the U.S. was an expert in getting us through the confusing Nairobi traffic. All of our safari expectations were met and especially exceeded at Kichwa Tembo. Anyone thinking of an African Safari should definitely contact Roho Ya Chui.

Loved our Experience
I was a little nervous initially of using an agent from a foreign country (I am in USA). But, Royo Ya Chui - Ute took good care of us. Ute provided us with some good options for lodging in Victoria Falls and some safari camps in Hwange. Every detail of the itinerary was performed to perfection. From beginning to end, it was easy to enjoy our African experience.

Excellent communication and service with Royo ya Chui
I worked with Royo Ya Chui to book a tented camp safari at Beyond Kichwa Tembo. Ute at Royo Ya Chui was extremely easy to work with and provided excellent communication through the process. Our stay at Kichwa Tembo was one of our best vacation experiences to date. The camp pays great attention to all details to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The lodging, food, safari drivers, are all top notch. You will not be disappointed if you book a safari at &Beyond with Royo Ya Chui.

Ute and Roho Ya Chui are the very best!!
This was our fifth trip to Africa. We have booked with different operators, until we heard of Roho Ya Chui when planning our trip to Victoria Falls and Botswana last year. Our trip last year was absolutely wonderful, so we didn't even consider booking with another agent when we started planning our trip to South Africa this year. Ute was able to recommend the very best camps/lodges for our stay and I must say this has been our very best trip to Africa. It exceeded all our expectations. All the accommodations were wonderful, excellent guides, and food! We are already considering our next trip with Roho Ya Chui as soon as we are able to save up a bit! Ute is extremely responsive which I love. She will respond almost immediately to any queries I have. When we were able to add 3 extra nights to our trip at the very last minute, she made wonderful recommendations and was able to book one of the camps I had just hear about and ended up being are very favorite! She's flexible and offers different options to fit each budget. She's extremely organized. The electronic itinerary on Trip Plans was great. No need to refer to print outs when we could see everything on our iPhone or iPad. I highly recommend Roho Ya Chui for any safaris you have planned!!
