Fantastic safari
We had an amazing time on our safari booked with Roho Ya Chui. It was so convenient to have the option to fly into Skukuza airport and arrive straight into Kruger. Laughing Waters lodge where we stayed was lovely - Gavin and Carol were so hospitable and the food was delicious. The itinerary for the safari was very good - 4 Kruger drives, the Panorama Route and a nighttime game drive in Sabi Sands. The drive in Sabi Sands was magical and we really appreciated being able to do it without having to stay in a private game reserve. Our dealings with Roho Ya Chui were very good - Ute was very helpful and very responsive. Overall a fantastic experience.

We had wonderful safaris in Phinda and Sabi Sands, South Africa
All 4 lodges were top class, the food was excellent, the guides were knowledgeable, staff was very attentive, and all connections to and from Johannesburg were flawless. Ute was very helpful in providing specific monthly weather information, which allowed me to choose best month for my photographic backgrounds.

Very well organized from the beginning till the end
From my very first E-Mail, Ute the Safari coordinator was really great and helpful. Any question that I had was answered within less than a day! All the information were accurat and she was very friendly and I also got the feeling she was happy for us that we were able to see the Krüger.
The trip itself was unbelieveble. Our guide Trevor made sure we were comfortable, explained everything we questioned, was very funny and just the best guy to be around. He was very experienced and well connected to other guides so whenever there were rumors of seldom annimals - we were one of the first to see it.
The lodge Laughing Waters was a great place to relax. The food was excellent and the two owners made sure we felt at home!
In total it was an unforgettable journey and trip. The organization of the trip was perfect (that coming from a German ;-)

Professional and slick
Booked our first 'taster' safari with RYC with 3 nights/4 days in Kruger, including an evening game drive at Sabi Sands. Organisation was seamless and the experience excellent. Not really knowing what to expect I can only say the whole experience exceeded every expectation thanks to Ute and the team.

Amazing Experience
I was in Kirkmans Kamp Sabi Sands and Ngala Tented Camp in the Kruger National Park and the whole trip was perfectly organized and coordinated by Roho Ya Chui. I had a very good time, have met friendly People and see beautiful landscapes and wildlife.
I can only recommend Roho Ya Chui and would not hesitate to make my booking there again.
Amazing guide, amazing trip
We had a stellar experience on the safari designed and set up by Roho Ya Chui. Ute was very responsive to questions, and all the transfers between airports and camps were handled smoothly. We felt well taken care of. Our guide Manu was very knowledgable, personable, fun and patient with our million and one questions about what we were seeing. All the lodgings were lovely, the food great, the staff responsive. This whole experience was beyond my expectations.

Awesome service
Ute worked with me for weeks as we put together a wonderful trip. Everything was taken care of and even when a few issues came up the response was immediate. I would recommend Roho Ya Chui to anyone and have recommended Ute to our friends.

Uncomplicated and good value for money
We found Roho Ya Chui online comparing different agencies. After the first contact communication with Ute went very easy and open and we found all our questions quickly answered and we finally booked the safari, Vic-Falls, Cape Town package. Arranging an extension to the trip was also no problem. The trip itself was great, everything was even beyond our expectation. Pick-ups were punctual and reliable. We met nice people in the camps and had great guides. We liked the atmosphere in the lodges especially in Pom Pom with the spacious tents. Going in the rainy season was no problem as we had no drop of rain .... What I missed was a bit physical activity such as hiking or walking, as for safety only drives are being done, but that we knew before and in Cape Town we could finally walk a lot by climbing the table mountain, discovering the city and its surroundings.
We never went on package tours before but this kind of trip Africa it was the right thing to do, especially being there for the first time. I hope to go there again soon!

Safari and Zanzibar
This trip was planned to perfection by Roho Ya Chui, every connection, flight and accommodation was perfect. My safari guide was very experienced and helped me get the best of my trip. Zanzibar was a perfect come down after the excitement of chasing chui's!! I would recommend Roho Ya Chui for their excellent arrangements and the personal touch- answering stupid questions from Safari novices!

Once in a lifetime trip, safaris were amazing, transfers were perfect and the lodgings were superb
We went on a 3 country 9 day adventure. Our trip involved 4 light aircraft transfers, one regular flight, two road transfers, one of which was a road to ferry to road transfer. Every single one of them occurred smoothly. The one hotel and two lodges we were booked at were fabulous and first class. The two sets of safaris we went on were once in a lifetime adventures and in both locations we saw the big five (once in one drive!) plus numerous other animals. Ute Sonnenberg was there every step of the way before we left with immediate answers to the numerous questions we had. She planned an amazing trip.
