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.

Simply perfect - southern Tanzania
We visited many countries in Africa and were in northern Tanzania 13 years ago. This safari was simply great and so it was obvious to us to explore southern Tanzania as well, followed by a few days on Zanzibar.
The planning of this tour with Roho Ya Chui was highly professional and always a pleasure, as a lot of experience and valuable information from Ute Sonnenberg have designed our safari perfectly.
The southern circuit of Tanzania was beautiful and perfectly organized by Roho Ya Chui – it doesn’t get any better, summa cum laude! If you want to see the South: Dar es Salaam is not an African gem but still worth a glance. From Dar SAL (Safari Air Link) flies with Cessna 208 to Mikumi, Ruaha and Selous.
All three parks are absolutely worth seeing but different, you stay comfortable in best furnished Lodges of Fox Group. Ruaha, however, was our surprise: an extraordinary national park, quite different from many others, which we have already visited. Many elephants, hippos, impalas, lions... all in front of grandiose scenery. We will certainly return to this amazing place. If you are looking for a small and quiet top hotel on Zanzibar – we recommend to ask Ute Sonnenberg also.
Our next trips to Africa we will plan with Roho Ya Chui again! Thanks again and see you soon.

South Africa and Zambia Safari
My wife and I and our son travelled with Roho Ya Chui to South Africa and Zambia for a 17 or so day safari. We have travelled to Africa on numerous occasions and have a base with which to make comparisons. The safari was flawlessly organised and the recommended camps - Nottens and Ngala ( And Beyond) in South Africa and the bush camps InZambia (The Bushcamp Company) provided superb game viewing and photographic opportunities.
We would happily recommend Roho Ya Chui as an operator and the services provided. Ute was extremely responsive to all our questions.

Seamless operations, perfectly planned trip!
Everything exceeded expectations. This was our first trip to Africa and Ute did an amazing job planning it. The communication was very easy and she was available for any questions we had. All the transport for the activities and between lodges was extremely smooth and punctual. We loved the lodges and the activities Ute booked for us, in particular devil's pool in Victoria Falls, Bakwena lodge in Chobe, and Machaba camp in Khwai. Our guide at Machaba Camp, Moreri, was terrific. Our drives with him were the highlight of our trip. We also really enjoyed the mokoro activity at Machaba. We highly recommend Ute and the itinerary she booked for us. Thank you!

A wonderful trip with seamless coordination at every step.
Initially, I was concerned that all of the transfers, flights and hotels would not coordinate. Much to my delight, we were met by helpful people (at least four at Maun airport!) at every step who helped us along our journey. The selection of camps was superb and we enjoyed a unique experience at each of them. The hotels in Johannesburg and CapeTown were well appointed and situated for easy access to restaurants. Without exception, the staff at each place we stayed was welcoming and accommodating. At Tau Pan, for example, they stored some medication for me in the refrigerator because of the heat outside.

Great Sambia tour, top organisation, well planned
Ute from Roho Ya Chui organized a trip for my father and me to Zambia. This included all transfers in Zambia and the accomodations - which all turned out great. Communications with Ute were always were fast, friendly and professional. She took care of all our wishes, and we had a wonderful trip. We had a nice Lodge in Lower Zambesi (Kanyemba) and the probably best camp in South Luangwa (Flatdogs) - both with very good and professional guides. As for transfers we did road transfer by car, 20 passengers flight by plane (ProFlight) and 2 passenger flight in a tiny plane - and were kept very safe in all of them.
For my next trip i will contact Ute again and recommend Roho Ya Chui to everyone who would like to visit there as well.

Outstanding Safari
Ute Sonnenberg setup our safari to Kenya and Tanzinia. We stayed at Elewana Collection properties which overall were wonderful. Ute made setting up the safari and all the logistics that go along with it completely painless and easy. Everything went as planned and was effortless....no surprises. It was a wonderful trip!

Once again, an unforgettable safari holiday !
We have been going for safari holidays every summer since 3 years ago, and have chosen Roho Ya Chui every time. From our first experience, Ute has been so kindly helpful, catering to our taste and responding immediately to all questions. Our destination this time was Zambia (after experiencing South Africa and Botswana in the past), and we had a little more special requests as to the itinerary and the lodges. Ute rapidly provided us with very good alternatives and options, and we are so thankful to her as our trip in South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi turned out to be another unrivaled experience of our life.
Those (including myself) who love the nature and animals never get bored of being in the African wilderness even without spectacular sightings…but our trip this time gave us the memorable chances of seeing a leopard hunting, wild dogs hunting, porcupines, honey badgers, as well as a colony of beautiful southern carmine bee-eaters, not to mention all other big popular animals (except the cheetahs which are unfortunately non-existent). The boat and walking safaris in the serene Lower Zambezi not only made us discover a new world of African nature but also was in itself very exciting with lots of animal/bird events.
Safari trips are not inexpensive but as always we felt that the actual experience was totally worth the costs. Even after coming back from the trip, Ute cares how our trips went along and is attentive to our feedback. Sharing the experience and giving her the feedback is indeed a part of our safari pleasure.

Another amazing experience designed by Roho Ya Chui
This was our second flawless vacation designed by Roho Ya Chui. Ute always goes above and beyond to make sure the trip exceeds all expectations. The first trip we didn't know what to expect but for this vacation our expectations were very high and even then they were exceeded. Every transfer, every detail, every celebration was carefully mapped out and implemented. Wow, what a great time. AndBeyond was our safari provider and they were also 200%. Ute did a great job mixing the accommodations so we experienced all types of lodging. Although they were all different they were also all fantastic. Luxury Pure. So many fantastic memories. We will for sure use Ute at Roho Ya Chui and AndBeyond again and again. We can't wait to see where the next trip takes us.

Smooth as silk
Ute, our contact, has helped us in very possible way, organizing the safari, booking internal flights and arranging payments.
She always answered quickly and gently.
Thanks! It has been a wonderful experience, which we will do again in the future, maybe for more days.
