Great again. Seen 2 birds. One Yellow, one Blue. Thanks Isaac for the perfect dinners. Good atmosphere, pity of the diesel problem in Malawi so we had to replan our meetings. I will be back for sure Sandi and Chris ! Have to see the elephants ! Thanks, Marten

We waren meer dan welkom! Het eten was prima, de bediening wordt goed opgeleid en is écht gastvrij; de eigenaren zijn gezellige mensen. Hier wordt iets voor de gemeenschap gedaan. De game drive en bushwalk waren goed georganiseerd en veilig. Dank jullie wel voor de uitzonderlijke hartelijkheid!

We stayed two nights in one of the safari tents built underneath a huge thatched roof. The terrace at the front overlooks the gardens and a huge bed/couch invites to chill and relax. The bathroom at the backside was open air with an amazing look into the savannah. Very nice built and maintained. The dining area with the lounge is very near and the pool small but fresh and nice for some cooling after the safaris. Halfboard included a very delicious diner and breakfast. The owners Sandi and Chris help whereever they can. Chris took us on a very nice afternoon jeep safari and at 6 am our cook brought us to the pedestrian gat of the Reserve, where abooked guide from the park took us two a 2h walking safari. Very nice.

Awesome camp spot Only stayed for one night but could have easily stayed more. The pool is a great place to unwind The food was sublime! I couldn’t praise the staff; Kelvin and Isaac highly enough. Both were warm and very welcoming - I’ll certainly be back in the near future

Our stay at Rafiki Safari Camp was amazing. We enjoyed every moment of it. It's a nice and quite place, ideal for a relaxing moment away from the busy city life. Our host, Sandi, was very hospitable and she made our stay very easy. Thanks Sandi for the Table and chairs

After a long drive we were joyfully welcomed to Rafiki Safari Camp by Sandy. She and her husband, Chris, designed and built the safari camp that is merged within the natural landscape. Their gift of hospitality is reflected in the details; open air showers with views of the foliage, private spaces for relaxing, hot showers, comfortable beds, all set in a peaceful oasis. The dining is 5-star; it is evident that the chefs take pride in creating delicious gourmet meals for the guests. My only regret is that we only had 2 nights there.

A high standard of accommodation and a very friendly welcome from Sandi & Chris. My wife and I booked one of the lodges for 2 nights dinner B&B and it was just the job. Lodge was excellent and well maintained, Food was good at both dinner (set menu) and (cooked) breakfast. Internet connection good in lodge room, and everything is their own solar power. The lodges border the wildlife reserve so you can walk around their estate - we saw no wildlife to speak of, but I can't blame them for that! If you want a game drive you need to book 2 days' notice. Be warned - there are different levels of accommodation with significantly different prices. We booked direct and so knew the deal, but booking agencies don't make this clear at all and so you need to check their website and maybe contact them direct.

We had a wonderful stay at Rafiki and were overwhelmed by the lovely hospitality of Sandy and Chris! This place is a pure Gem - Both our organized Walking Safari and the Game Drive where absolutely wonderful (and certainly adventurous) and the food and lovely chats made this a few days to remember - What a Gem Rafiki is! Thank you especially to Chris for his help with our flat tyre :D Was greatto have stayed with you, Steph & Fred.
