If you wish to travel to South Africa, this is the group to plan with
I was more than impressed with the quick service and excellent selection of sites for us to visit on our two week stay in South Africa, particularly handling the private game reservations and the reservations to Cape Town, including transportation. Everything worked beautifully. However, my strongest recommendation for your services is because you are "local" to the region and when I needed questions asked or help, such as reserving my airline seats, Ute was there, in my time zone, to assist. Would definitely rebook through Roho ya Chui on my next trip back!

Amazing Botswana Trip
I can't say enough about Roho Ya Chui. The trip was absolutely incredible. Ute was always responsive, worked with us within our budget and picked places in Botswana that fit exactly what we were looking for. The trip was seamless- picked up and transferred right on time. We even had someone meet us at the airport when we were leaving to check in with us and ensure we made it on to our next destination. The lodges were amazing and so luxurious- food and people were incredible! Will absolutely be using Ute when we return and will be referring her to friends and family as well.

Everything was perfectly planned with great service
This was our first safari and we were overwhelmed by the thought of planning the trip. Ute made all of our worries go away. She organized our trip perfectly and kept us informed throughout the process. Our accommodations were amazing with service that exceeded our expectations. We saw all of the big 5 and many other incredible animals on our game drives. We would definitely recommend Roho Ya Chui for your next safari.

An amazing way to experience Botswana
From the first email all the way through to the end of our trip, our interactions with Ute and Roho Ya Chui have been great - fast responses and accommodating. The trip that was planned for us was seamless, all transportation, lodging and safaris were well organized and we felt welcome everywhere we went.
Ute was so great that when we first reached out to her for a quote, we mentioned we were planning our second honeymoon and she made sure to pass that along to our lodges/hosts who very graciously surprised us with romantic meals and perks - it was very considerate.
I would highly recommend booking your African safaris with Ute and Roho Ya Chui.

Flawless organization of Once in a lifetime experience
Ute organized a fantastic 10 day trip for us - three 2-night stays in Botswana and a 4-day stay in Victoria Falls (including all the transfers). She came out as having best value (price over experience) when I requested quotes from 3 operators. She then worked with us to design customized experience that met our expectations and budget. She sent us very helpful information to help us best prepare for trip. I would recommend her gladly to anybody and would use her again if we traveled in same area.

4 locations over 9 days and everything went perfectly
Ute handled all the details well for us. She contacted me with updates prior to the trip and responded quickly to questions I had asked. The tour package she put together was excellent. All of the ground and air transportation was on time and we never felt unsure of what was going to happen next. Everything went according to schedule. We had personal guides at Chobe and Pom Pom that were very friendly and knowledgeable. All the accommodations were beyond our expectations, along with the food and hospitality of the staff. The safari tours were spectacular. Each day was filled with activities but not overwhelming so.

Exceeded expectations
Terrific experience going through Roho Ya Chui to book my South Africa trip. She was patient with my questions and helped me ensure every detail was handled. We did the first part of our Sabi Sands safari at Londolozi and it was perfection. When we left and arrived inCapetown, every transfer and tour was taken care of and we never had to figure out where we were going. Highly recommend for booking travel.

Kruger / Sabi Sands Safari's
When you plan trips over the web, there is always the uncertainty that your expectations are higher that what you will experience once you get there. Absolutely not the case.
Working with Ute from Roho Ya Chui was great. She was flexible, answered all my questions and helped us through all the areas of arranging our trip including adding an additional day in the Sabi Sands. From our flights into Skukuza airport in Kruger park to our return flights from Skukuza to Johannesburg, everything went as smoothly as I could hope for. Everyone we encountered worked hard to ensure we had a great time.
My hat off to Mandla who was our guide through 2 days in Kruger and a long drive along the Panorama route taking in Lisbon and Lone Creek Falls was tremendous. Our stay at Chestnut Country Lodge was extremely comfortable with absolutely 5-star accommodations and dining.
The second half of our trip was at Notten's Bush Camp in the Sabi Sands where everyone is extremely well taken care of. The staff there is delightful to talk with and hear their stories about living in that environment. the food and accommodations are absolutely fabulous. We had both walking and drive guided safari's that were a different adventure every time. Lions, leopards, wild dogs and about everything else you could ask for. From the Big 5 to the Ugly 5 and almost to the Super 7, I can't recommend Notten's enough.
Absolutely a great time. Tough to come home.

Roho Ya Chui met all our travel needs; including 5 star accommodations in Cape Town Beyond Kirkmans
Roho Ya Chui was always quick to respond to emails. We could not have asked for better accommodations as we were booked at Table Bay Hotel (5 star) in Cape Town and Beyond Kirkmans Camp in Sabi Sands. In fact the accommodations were better than we expected! Our safari guide and tracker were very knowledgeable about the animals and Sabi Sands. The safari was fantastic as we saw the Big 5 within 2 days. Our guide was determined that we each were thoroughly satisfied with our safari experience. The food, staff, and room was awesome at Kirkmans. We would absolutely recommend Ute Sonnenburg to any of our friends or relatives interested in the best vacation ever!!

Fantastic Safari Experience!
Ute was very communicative in helping to organize our safari. All of the pickups/light aircraft transfers were as planned, and the accommodation we were placed at were fantastic! The Chobe National Park safari in particular was incredible. Once in a lifetime.
