Magical African Safari
Ute was exceptional to work with throughout the planning then postponement of our trip due to the pandemic then reschedule. She kept us very well informed and helped us make educated decisions on how to proceed during this unprecedented time. Although there is a great time difference between the US and Johannesburg, Ute always responded to emails immediately. Ute delivered the exact experience we were seeking. We could not have asked for anything better!

excellent organization, lodges and activities!
Our tour in both Zimbabwe and Botswana have been amazing. A big thank you to Ute for the organization and for your availability throughout our trip.
Local guides and lodges are very good. Food, locals, services, rooms.. amazing ! We loved the ones in Botswana for their respect to animal wildlife and the natural parks.
Our trip could not have been better!

I liked knowing I could count on a prompt and helpful response from Ute.
This trip was initially scheduled pre COVID. Ute was very helpful in rebooking our trip several times. The camps in Chobe and Okavango Delta were both very nice. The staff at both camps were very accommodating and went great to work with. Our guides were knowledgable and wanted to make sure we found the animals we wanted to see. It was a great trip and a good value for the money. Overall we were very pleased with our trip.
Helpful and efficient
This was a family reunion that was delayed by 2 years due to Covid. In spite of repeated postponements of this trip, Ute was very helpful in making all the bookings and provided great travel tips to us. The trip was a smooth, wonderful experience and we truly enjoyed every moment of it! Thank you!

epic adventure in Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls, tailored for a father and son!
Roho Ya Chui delivered an exceptional experience that exceeded expectations! I shared a budget and a general sense of what we wanted for an experience for my young adult son on his first trip outside of North America. Ute kindly suggested an itinerary that modified my initial ideas and budget expectations. Her recommendations were spot on!
We spent 3 nights in Victoria Falls and 3 nights in the Okavango Delta. Accommodations were excellent with warm and attentive staff. Throw in a little luck with the weather and wildlife viewing...perfect! I will post comments on the specific
Thank you!

Ute picked the best locations, organised well and was always available.
Every location that Ute picked for us was different and had outstanding qualities. In Tortillas Elewana lodge in Amboselli we enjoyed to be able to roam freely and the friendliness of the mgmt and food quality were incredible. In Elephant Pepper lodge in Masai Mara we had incredible game sights and the breakfast at the Mara river is unforgettable. Nimali Lodge in North Serengeti had an incredible architecture and the most luxurious housing. Less luxurious is also ok but we enjoyed it while it lasted :). The Highland lodge off Ngorongoro has this incredible view, delicious food and incredibly friendly staff. Treetops in Tarangire has the water pond where lots of elephants, waterbucks, zebras, buffalos where right in front of you at the breakfast table. Elephants that come and drink from the pool just meters away are an unforgettable experience! THANKS we had a truly amazing trip!

Wonderful and super trustworthy: if I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would.
We had originally booked the trip before COVID-19 and then found ourselves rebooking over several years until we finally made it. Ute had our backs all the way, suggested amazing alternative destinations, helped us book everything we needed. Her advice was invaluable and knowing that she was there, always available in the background, even during our trip, meant we could absolutely enjoy our amazing trip, even though our airline had lost a bag and we had no mobile phone signal in the bush. We enjoyed every single stop of the trip, had quick, efficient transfers that were always on time, between destinations and could not have been happier. We intend to travel to South Africa again in the near future, and we know who to turn to :)
We warmly recommend Roho Ya Chui travel agency, if you want to travel with total peace of mind knowing that you are going to the best places, with the best agent at your side if you need assistance.

Perfectly organised tailor-made safari with Ute Sonnenberg
Our family has been travelling with Roho ya Chui to four countries in Southern Africa, namely to Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.
This was a complex and unforgettable experience for us with the largest waterfall, an untamed wildlife, endless deserts and beautiful landscapes.
Ute Sonnenberg has organised this three weeks long trip with flawless professionalism and complete attention to the details. She was constantly available to fulfil our requests. We will always keep this amazing journey among our fondest memories, because it has made our dreams come true. We definitely intend to continue our travel cooperation with Ute.

Reliable!
We booked our trip with Ute from RYC in 2020. Unfortunately, this was just before COVID-19 hit. Yet, fortunate for us, Ute and RYC were able to keep our reservations and keep us updated about the situation in SA. Thankfully, we managed to go through the journey this past month, and it was an amazing experience. Ute's planning allowed us to be babysitted all the way from flight to transfer to safari from SA to home.

Fantastic travel agent - 100% recommend
Ute was an amazing resource for putting our first-time trip to Africa together. She was always accommodating, easy to work with and endlessly helpful, even when there was no profit in it for her. We had a Covid snafu during our trip and Ute was immediately ready and able to help us deal with the obstacles we faced. This trip was the best I've ever had (and I travel a lot) and I credit Ute with helping to make it so outstanding. Her experience, contacts and knowledge of all things Africa made our trip seamless, lovely, effortless and beautiful. Thank you Ute. You are the best!!
