"We'll be back!"

10.0

I can't speak highly enough of our stay. The rooms are amazing, the house is beautiful with an entertaining deck with lots of chairs to relax in by the pool, or maybe you're game to get in the cold water. The food was abundant & delicious. There are some resident animals you will see at the water holes as you sip a cocktail & watch the amazing sunsets. We hired a car which I recommend so you can get around. A safari with Reinhardt is a must. His knowledge is unsurpassable. Everyone is friendly & go out of their way to make your stay the best. We did a 10 day safari with Reinhardt the previous year which was outstanding. I would totally recommend a week Kruger safari finishing at Rafiki for a few days.

"Best accomodation in Hoedspruit"

10.0

Our stay was incredible, 5 star luxury from start to finish. The food was amazing, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the rooms had everything we needed. Maria and Reinhardt were extremely kind and helpful with anything we needed and provided great information on Kruger NP and surrounding area. All of the staff were kind and no ask was too much. I highly highly recommend.

Nothing - great place to stay

"Perfect bite-size bush visit!"

8.0

We had a great short stay at Rafiki with Reinhard, Maria and their lovely staff, with our (not so) early morning run/bike through the estate the absolute highlight. Teenagers are not always easy to impress but the combination of 'private villa', good food, poolside drinks and the abundance of wildlife right on our doorstep had them swooning.

Awesome spot near Greater Kruger & close to town. Maria's help was invaluable, rooms are spacious & clean, food delicious, no loadshedding, WiFi was fast. Gamedrive with Reinhardt was a highlight. Definitely returning for our next Safari!
