Rafiki Bush Lodge

Absolutely amazing, only stayed one night whilst visiting family and the staff and family are lovely. Food is amazing and plenty of it. Had a hyena and a giraffe outside our rooms during the night!

We had a wonderful stay at Rafiki Lodge! The location is perfect—close to town but still in nature. Reinhardt offers game drives in a nearby Big 5 reserve, which we highly recommend. Maria gave us such a warm welcome, and we’d definitely love to come back!

We spent 2 weeks at Rafiki and simply didn't want to leave. The lodge is beautiful and immaculately clean. Maria took my long wish list of activities and made them all a wonderful reality. From hot air balloons to horseback safari and feeding hippos, Maria arranged it all. The room was lovely with plenty of space and an incredible bathroom. The housekeeper was in everyday and everything was kept lovely and clean. The food at Rafiki is amazing and Lungsani was so accommodating making us breakfasts to go if we had early morning activities. Dinner was different every night and Steaks on the Braai were a highlight of the stay! Rafiki is inside the lovely Hoedspruit wildlife park and we regularly took walks were we came across Giraffe, Zebra and Antelope. Being able to just walk through them was better than I imagined and the location was just superb. The safari's with Safari.Reinhardt were incredible. We did a mixture of morning and night drives and even a full day drive in Kruger. We saw the big 5 and so much more. Charl had an amazing eye for picking out wildlife and was always looking to get you the best view. Both Charl and Reinhardt were fountains of knowledge and a lot of fun! We very much hope to come back!

Nice breakfast but I wish it was a buffet. With a lot of options rather than dishing up what you have prepared on the plate.

The place is nice, the rooms need a little bit of entertainment.

The food is absolutely amazing, the location is great & the attention to detail is incredible. Reinhardt & Maria are extremely welcoming hosts. The game drives offered is something you will remember for a lifetime. Thank you very much to the Rafiki Bush Lodge, we hope to visit again really soon! If you’re looking for a peaceful stay, close to the Kruger, this is the place to be.

Basically everything. Very clean, very cool, like to be home. Staff is very kind and capable.

Nothing. It’s not close to the Kruger but you can get there in 1 hour
