A perfect package of safari experience for Botswana
From the moment we showed our interest in one of the safari tour packages offered by Roho Ya Chui, Ute was very efficient in helping us organize what we had dreamed of. Several questions we asked by e-mail over the first few days were immediately answered in person by her, and it was this responsible reaction which made us decide on the tour rather quickly. Being immediately convinced that we were getting a reliable package with the best itinerary, we didn't even search for any other operators or tours.
The safari trips itself in Botswana (Okavango Delta, Savuti and Chobe) was a succession of unforgettable experiences. Even compared with our previous safari trips in Kenya and Tanzania, this time gave us much more diversified animal and landscape sightings, and we were extremely impressed by the quality of the safari guides offered at each of the camps we stayed. We saw all the animals we wanted to see to our full content (except for a cheetah).

Roho Ya Chui were very easy to deal with from the booking stage and throughout the tour.
The communications from start to finish were first class and very professional. The service as a whole was very good and I can't fault them on anything. The tour itself more than lived up to my expectations. The accommodations were very good, the tour guides were friendly and informative and all the transfers and tours whether by boat or vehicle were excellent and without a hitch. The locations and the animals I encountered are memories I'll cherish forever.

Great Experience
We booked a 7 day tour in Botswana through Roho Ya Chui and our experience was wonderful! Ute was able to help us with great amount of questions and provided recommendations relating to the lodges, order of the lodges to stay at, timing of the trip, etc. I cannot praise Ute enough as she had to deal with us a lot, answering multiple questions and changing our bookings twice for no additioanl fee! We decided to stay with &Beyond and chose Nxabega, Xaranna and Sandibe. Ute advised to stay in this particular order and we think it was perfect as we had experienced absolutely different accomodations (from tents to a sort of villa) and safaris. All of the lodges were great with exceptional team members. We were able to see the big five and much more. Special luck with the cats in Sandibe where we were able to see cheetah with a kill, many lions and 3 leopards. Sandibe stood out as it was just re-builta year ago and they are now using solar power (with generator's back-up) which is available 24/7 and you have wi-fi coverage thoughout the lodge and rooms. Otherwise, all 3 lodges were great with outstanding personnel, cannot fault any member of the lodges, they did a great job with acomodating our requests and were just great people to chat with.

Six perfect days on safari in South Africa (Krüger Park)
Easy booking procedure and responsive communication with Ute; excellent tour documentation on the internet; charming lodges in the bush with welcoming and supportive services; safari tours and animal sightings exceeded our expectations; Ute was helpful and truly customer-oriented during the entire process.

Highly recommend Ute Sonnenberg - efficient, prompt, organized and a pleasure to deal with
Enjoyed our safari immensely. Saw the Big 5 (and the "baby" 5 as a bonus) during our trip. Had no trouble with the air connections - was well arranged by Ute. The accommodations were comfortable, the service exceptional, the food was plentiful (never felt hungry during the whole trip). Our guides (Roan at Ngala and Matt at Phinda Mountain Reserve) and trackers (Chris at Ngala, Musa at Phinda) were impressive and personable - had a lot of fun and laughter. Overall an amazing experience for the whole family. Would stay at &Beyond resorts again and would highly recommend to anyone that wants an over-the-top experience!

Roho Ya Chui gave us ULTIMATE safari adventure unlike No Other!!
You gave us a "True" African adventure and exceeded our expectations. Had we gone to So Africa and Botswana on the first leg of our trip, we would have been Very Disappointed that the rest couldn't match what you provided. Our only regret was that we did not stay longer. Our permanent tents were luxurious; our non-permanent tent was comfortably rustic and took us back in time. The food and staff at Every site was Excellent; we especially loved the true Botswana lunch prepared special for us by Judy at Okavango Delta. A special Thanks also to Sunny Boy at Sabi Sands.

perfect organisation and a lot of intuition for the personal requirements of the customer
Being 77, everyone and sundry thought me very courageous (or crazy) for booking a trip to the other end of the world. But thanks to the knowledge and experience of Royo's Ute, I had the time of my life and came back feeling 10 years younger

An amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Roho Ya Chui! Ute is wonderful!
My husband and I wanted to include a safari, prior to our tour to Cape Town for a cricket festival. After quite a bit of research, I contacted Roho Ya Chui and Ute to help plan our Safari. It was the best decision we could have made. It was our first time on a safari and I can honestly say it was perfect. We saw the big five in the first 24 hours. Arathusa safari lodge is wonderful. Our guide and tracker Roy and Chris were extremely knowledgeable. The accommodation, food and staff at Arathusa are all five star. Ute is a wealth of knowledge, made very helpful suggestions and is a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Ute!

A Most Magnificent Safari Experience
From the first contact to our departure for home after a most magnificent 4 week trip, the organization and communications with us have been nothing but first class.
Every enquiry sent during the planning stages was replied to within 24 hours at the most - usually within one hour.
The combination of the 3 &Beyond safari's combined with alternate style Pakmisa resort provide a good balance of safari experiences. Whilst we finished up doing 21 three to four hour safari's, we never got tired of the wonderful experiences each trip provided.
The 1 week car hire and our drive through Swaziland was another different, yet enjoyable facet of the trip.
The hotel accommodation in Jo'burg (Clico and Four Seasons) and Cape Town including the upgrades were exceptional complete with unbelievable inclusive breakfasts.
Thanks Ute for an unforgetable safari experience, provided at a very realistic price

Fabulous trip. Ute has a magical way of creating a special experience unique to your specifications.
We chose Roho Ya Chui to help us plan a trip for my husband's 50th Birthday. He decided on an African safari but beyond that we lacked direction so we reached out to Roho Ya Chui & Ute. It was the best decision ever made. We saw so much more than we dreamed of, never back tracking and stayed at the most amazing lodges and tents. At every stay we felt very special and the 50th Birthday was celebrated before, during and after. The service was 5 Star Plus. We were very fortunate and saw the Big 5 the first 24 hours of our first safari stop. We had such wonderful communication with Ute. She was flexbile, supportive and helped with many naive first time questions we had. I never dreamed that 2 weeks in Africa with 9 flights, 4 different stops and several cultures would be the easiest and most amazing trip of our life but it was. THANKS so much !!!
