Rafiki Bush Lodge

The lodge was well-maintained and the rooms were very nice. It felt like heaven. Maria and Lungisani and Thomas were very welcoming.

The lack of food options on the menu. No BOB option

Nice property in a great location. Lungisani (chef) was so great and helpful

Guests sleep downstairs and then the owner(s) and their toddler sleep upstairs and the toddler kept running around upstairs, mind you the floors are wood so this was disturbing our sleep ☹️ . Oh and the father wasn’t nice, he couldn’t extend a simple greeting, and he only interacted with some white couple when we were there. The were 3 black couples and 1 white.

This place is beautiful/modern and clean.It looks better than in pictures. Everything they have from furniture to cuttlery was well thought about before it was picked. It is a home like setup. TV is in the lounge. They have an honest fridge/drink station in the kitchen. You can use this whenever you are in need of a drink. The host (Ouma) is amazing. Lungi (the food guy) fed us good... dinner and breakfast were included in our booking, you are allowed to have 2nds, 3rds etc 😋. They cook clean, which I loved....no overwhelming flavors. No noise after 10 pm. The family lives upstairs.They light up fire at the boma from 6 pm daily. We had a Warthog visit one morning at breakfast 😊. If you need to relax at a home away from home, this is your place. I would also recommend it for solo travelers, families with young kids would love this....couples and friends would enjoy this. I'm going back. To relax and plan my life.

I would have appreciated homemade desserts.

My partner and I chose Rafiki Bush Lodge as our accommodation in Hoedspruit to attend a wedding. Reinhardt and Maria are exceptional hosts and were more than happy to help us out with all of our requests. The room was very spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Staying here was the perfect start to our holiday and we both were very relaxed. The food cooked/ included was beautiful and very tasty with good portion sizes and variety. Reinhardt's Safari game drives were also exceptional with us seeing plenty of game and learning a lot from the guides. We will definitely be back!

Nothing!
