Excellent choice for booking your safari.
Ute highly recommended the Kapama River Lodge and I'm very glad I followed her advice. The rangers were knowledgeable and forthcoming in accommodating guest requests. The wildlife was splendid, the food was diverse and so I spent some thoroughly enjoyable days at Kapama. Thanks Ute for providing all necessary input.

Organized, professional and responsive
Ute is very professional, organized and responsive. She was able to answer all of my questions and help put together a great itinerary. My experience was great and I would recommend Roho Ya Chui to anyone!
Honeymoon Safari
We booked the Best of Kruger and Cape Town trip for our Honeymoon through Roho Ya Chui (Ute). We had a wonderful experience on every part of our trip. Ute handled all of the travel details of the South Africa part of our trip including ground transfers, lodge bookings, in country flights, hotel, and even the day trips we took from Cape Town. The safari lodge that Ute recommended (Ngala) was amazing, a wonderful accommodation, excellent staff, and animal siting at every turn (including the Big 5 in the first day!). The stay in Cape Town was equally wonderful with attention to detail and perfect recommendations for trips from our hotel. This was our first experience in Africa and we can't wait to go back! We would highly recommend Ute and Roho Ya Chui for any travel plans!

"Perfect" is insufficient a word to describe the experience and Ute's service
Every detail was handled from beginning to end with a level of professionalism second to none. Ute took our interests, desires, and timetable and put together a program that was amazing. Her experience with the lodges, ground transport companies, and charter air companies made all aspects of our 12 days in the bush seamless leaving us to only enjoy every moment of our amazing journey. By the second day my wife was so impressed with the experience she was asking "When are we coming back?" Tip: Let Ute handle all your transport from your arrival in country to your airport departure to remove any chance of stress and distraction so you're left to only enjoy your safari.
The four &Beyond lodges we stayed at offered a level of luxury and service we honestly could not believe. Everything to the smallest detail expertly handled with the brightest and biggest South African smiles. Game drives with their ranger/driver and trackers were extraordinary with up close encounters with so many animals we couldn't keep track. We need to go through the thousand or so photos we took to make a list. Food was excellent and offered something like eight times a day so expect to gain a pound or two.
Just a few tips: The lodges do your laundry so it isn't necessary to over pack. South Africa has a electrical plug that is different from what most of the adapters we've used all over the world so be sure you either bring one with you or buy one on arrival. Pack a lightweight windbreaker that resists rain and packs down to nothing for use on the early morning drives as the wind created while driving in the open vehicles can be chilly but as the morning warms just pack it away. One warm jacket is a necessity as the weather will change and don't get caught short. Be prepared to have your face in a constant smile, your eyes startled, your brain over stimulated, and your heart warmed.

Very well organized safari with interesting itinerary. Professional and helpful service.
Our experience with Roho Ya Chui was very good with lots of helpful pre safari correspondence. We had both a very good guide and were happy with the first class accommodation provided. Good standard of accommodation and food. Our guide was particularly helpful and informative and paid special attention to looking after our 7yo daughter. He also was a very safe driver which was important to us.
The itinerary around Ngorongoro and Serengiti was very good and we saw most of the animals we expected to see. Basically a well organized and enjoyable safari.

Amazing what can be accomplished at short notice
Excellent organisation, top quality accomodation and good itinerary suggestions. All queries answered promptly and our bespoke tour requirements fulfilled. Safari part of itinerary at Ngala Lodge, Kruger NP. Luxurious family suite with air conditioning (41°C in the shade), fresh food beautifully presented and very attentive staff. Essential small private swimming pool (shared with baboons!). Rangers and trackers extremely knowledgeable. Good communications of tracking info and animal sightings to enable best chance of viewing animals. Big 5 seen in one day with added bonus of the African Wild Dog pack returning to the reserve. Most successful safari we have been on. Children suitably impressed. Our ranger/guide also had an interest in photography which was highly beneficial. Already thinking of when we can manage another trip.

Perfect organized tours
Roho Ya Chui did an excellent job. All question were answered immediately and the organization of the tours was perfectly done. All my wishes and requests were fulfilled and I had a wonderful time in Mpumalanga. I did a 3-day safari tour and a 1-day panorama tour. Both were marvellous experiences which I will never forget in my life. Thank you Ute and Carol for the organization and special thanks to Mandla, the best experienced and open-hearted guide ever.

Amazing Safari Experience!
We did the 4 day Safari in Kruger park, Sabi sands and the panorama route and it definitely exceeded our expectations! timings were perfect, vehicles used were great and we had a wonderful stay at the laughing waters lodge. I totally recommend Roho Ya Chui and i really appreciated how they were so flexible in adjusting some things in the itinerary for us. We had an unforgettable experience and we did see the big five all in close encounters!

Our Safari led us to the most amazing places ranging from South Africa, Zambia to Botswana and we can't wait to go back there. If you want a great safari experience make sure to book through Roho Ya Chui, you wont regret it.

Experience of a Lifetime
My husband and I went for our honeymoon and it truly was an experience of a lifetime! The communication to coordinate our trip was easy, everyone was extremely friendly and the experience was unforgettable! This trip was beyond our expectations and worth every penny! Everyday on our safari was an adventure, we saw something different and exciting everyday. Our ranger and tracker were extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the area and animals. Our hotel lodge and tented camp experienice was also incredible! The service was excellent, food was delicious and everything was very clean! Hotel staff was more than accommodating. I would love to go back and do it again one day. Amazing trip!!!
