Committed to providing excellent advice and exceptional service
My mother was visiting South Africa from England in December and we decided to go on a safari to celebrate her being with us. We have had excellent safari recommendations from Roho Ya Chui in the past and we approached Ute again for advice for this safari. She recommended Notten's Bush Camp in the Sabi Sands, we accepted the recommendation, and she checked availability and booked rooms for us. Notten's was the perfect recommendation, it is a special safari lodge and we had marvelous sightings during our stay. Roho Ya Chui translates to Soul of the Leopard and, perhaps prophetically, and because our guide and tracker were skilled in finding leopards(!), we had sightings of four different leopards during game drives. We also had superb sightings of lions, rhino, elephants, buffalo and a cheetah with cubs. And sightings of animals which do not qualify as 'big five' - giraffe, zebra, warthog, many species of buck, hippo, crocodile, baboons, vervet monkeys, squirrels, mongooses, and more - were just as enjoyable. The lodge staff were amazing and the food was delicious. The lodge has a large swimming pool which is perfect for swimming lengths. Booking through Roho Ya Chui was an easy and efficient process and the safari was outstanding value for money. We booked through Roho Ya Chui because Ute is passionate about safari, conservation and sustainability and she has vast knowledge and experience of travel for safari in Africa. Five stars for Roho Ya Chui and five stars for the safari.
