Fantastic Support for South African trip and safari
We cannot say enough good things about the support Ute Sonnenberg provided to us for our trip to South Africa, including our safari. Ute understood even better than we did what our needs would be and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Ute's responsiveness was nearly immediate and always helpful. We had many questions, and Ute patiently walked us through each decision point in our process. The safari she selected for us (& Beyond Kirkman's Kamp) was truly outstanding and customized for our family, as Ute secured us a private vehicle, since we were a family of five. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, and Ute was a wonderful partner the entire time. We are grateful to Ute for all her assistance and leadership, and would recommend Roho Ya Chui to anyone!
Fantastic. Service was the best quick and un complicated and to the point . And always available.
The best cant say enough about Roho Ya Chui and the venues we went to.
Just a special thanks to Nicolene ( Schoeman ??? at Kirkman) she organized a camera lense shutter out of nowhere that fitted the required lense which we picked up at K.M.I.P. late one evening.

Absolutely Amazing Experience with Roho Ya Chui
Booking our first trip to South Africa and Zambia with Roho Ya Chui (Ute Sonnenberg) was the best thing that could have happened to us. Ute set up an amazing experience with us that started in Cape Town, took us to Kirkman's Kamp for safari, and then onwards to Victoria Falls in Zambia. The accommodations she picked at all the locations were top notch. In addition, the safari lodge she chose was great in every aspect. The lodging, people, food, and experience was great. We had a blast and saw the Big 5. Thank you Ute!

Excellent First Experience in the Great African Safaris
Ute was very knowledgeable, clear and efficient in her work and email recommendations. She was also accomodating to our requests including a few changes in dates. Communication was highly effective, everything went smoothly without a hitch and the tour was thoughtfully created with our special occasion in mind (I received two birthday cakes at two different locations!), to give that personalised touch and a great variety of experiences - from the luxurious to the more adventurous. The tour package was also suitable and value-for-money for our budget as well. Overall, the trips to three different safari locations (including a wonderful sleep-out in the treetops) were well paced out and enjoyable. Our transfers arranged by Ute arrived on time with friendly, reliable and safe drivers, and the domestic flights booked were great for our overall schedule as well. Overall, it was such an unforgettable first trip to South Africa and the safaris! We would highly recommend the services of Roho Ya Chui to anyone. Thank you Ute and team!

Ute was very helpful and always quick to respond to my many questions; everything went perfectly.
Everything was easily communicated by email. We had many questions about the experience with this being our first time to Africa and Ute promptly answered all of them. We were able to choose our locations and lodges based off her recommendations. One of our camps was cancelled and she upgraded us to a beautiful lodge that turned out to be our favorite place. We were nervous being in a different environment where everything was arranged over the internet but the transport was timely, the staff very friendly, and we had many great game drives. This was one of our favorite vacations full of the perfect amount of activities as well as relaxation.

Trip Of A Lifetime!
My husband and I went to South Africa, Zambia, and then Cape Town for our honeymoon. The South African Safari at Kirkmans Kamp was absolutely amazing! We hadn't been to Africa before and didn't know where the best area to visit would be at. Sabi Sands game reserve had everything! We saw leopards, Serval, wild dogs, rhinos, and many more. It was amazing. All of our travel arrangements were excellent and waiting for us perfectly. The Royal Livingstone was beyond our expectations and the Cape Town hotel (Table Bay Hotel) was the perfect location!

Botswana and Victoria Falls Safari
This was our first Africa trip and it more than lived up to our expectations. Ute arranged all of the lodging and transfers and everything was perfect. Everywhere we went the people were incredibly friendly and helpful. We visited four different lodges in Botswana which each had different terrain. Wildlife was spectacular at all locations. I would highly recommend Roho Ya Chui if you are planning a trip to Africa.

A big disconnect but all went well
We landed in Botswana but no one was expecting us. UGH! But a few phone calls and one temper tantrum, and all was well again. Ute was very responsive in email communications and her suggestions were well heeded. Great facilities and wonderful time!

nice experience, great people
Everything was well arranged and on time. The accommodation was lovely - great hosts looking after us, with nice food. The tour guides were experienced and informative. We saw all of the big 5 during the 3 days.

Whole process of planning, deliverance and execution was smooth, seamless and very pleasant.
After a lot of research and with very helpful and timely suggestions and feedback from Ute, I decided to book 2 of Roho Ya Chui's safari tours, to explore Namibia and a small part of Botswana, with a couple of days at Vic Falls in between. The complete process was really very positive and enjoyable. A couple of days out from leaving Australia, we were notified of an upgrade to a different camp for our last couple of nights in the Okavango Delta (which ended up being a great camp). There was one hiccup with our first meet and greet, however this was quickly and efficiently 'sorted', with emails and phone calls quickly delivered. Our trip was fantastic, with all guides/drivers, camps, experiences exceeding or living up to expectations and providing a stress-free and totally enjoyable holiday. With magnificent scenery throughout Namibia and spectacular wildlife experiences in both Namibia and Botswana, our trip was truly fabulous, with no unpleasant surprises along the way at all. I would certainly use Roho Ya Chui's services again and will probably do so sometime in the not-too-distant future, to return to Africa and continue my 'addiction'. Thanks Ute, we had an awesome time with some unforgettable highlights.
