    The dorm room for four people only had 2 power outlets which was a bit annoying but apart from that a really nice place close to the falls.

    Absolutely spectacular in every way! Brought a team of 13 for an overnight stay. Arrived at night and were greeted well by Sam and all of the staff. The views the next morning were breathtaking. Meals were excellent and always quickly prepared. Half of our group did the abseiling while others did a short hike to one of the falls. Abseiling was AMAZING!! Job and his staff made us all feel very comfortable. We all enjoyed the coffee tour as well. Will definitely be recommending Rafiki to many people and will be bringing our 2020 team back for a longer stay!! Thank you Sam!!

    We only came for lunch, but the rooms looked very nice. Lunch was very good! We would certainly stay there in the future.

    This is a great place! We stayed at Rifiki Lodge and it is beautifully set on the side of the mountain. Your views are amazing of Sipi falls and the valley between the mountains. The rooms are separate little buildings with beautiful views and decorated in the African culture. The showers are hot and the beds are reasonably comfortable. We saw monkeys in the morning playing on the hotel grounds. They were so cute and very entertaining! I have stayed here 3 different times and will definitely go back! The hotel offers sevral activities you can do while staying there. We went on the abseiling excursion which is so fun. It was my first experience and I was a little scared but the people are very helpful and guided us very effectively. It is a beautiful 110 meter drop down a cliff next to a huge waterfall. Amazing views and breath taking waterfall! We took a 20 minute hike back to our transportation. Then I went on a short nature walk to another large waterfall. The hike is not too hard but can be a little tricky if you're not fit. But the waterfall and views are so worth it! In previous trips I did the long nature walk and coffee tour which takes a few hours and it much more difficult. But I recommend it if you feel up for the challenge bc it is so amazing! An extra note, if you get help navigating the trail w any of the village boys you will need to pay them. They will not tell you this in advance though. I appreciated the help when we came to steep and muddy paths and was happy to give them some money for helping me out :) Overall this is a great and beautiful adventure and even if you just want to sit and relax you will not be disappointed! The hotel is the best around there with the most amazing views! Sam runs the hotel and the excursions and he is an excellent host for all your needs!! Everyone was very friendly and the food at the hotel is excellent! I thoroughly enjoy staying here and will do it again!

    Some of the rooms have amazing views and the site generally is very well placed. However for the lodge to reach its full potential it should consider the following: 1 - not charging premium rates for sub-par rooms. In our first night we were placed in a small room without a view yet paid the same rate as the best rooms on site. Management should consider tiering costs here to avoid disappointed clients. 2 - compared to other lodges with a similar price per night, the quality of service in all regards and quality of food was poor. Providing all staff with training would go a really long way and would improve the customer experience. Until the above are worked on, I recommend staying at Lacam Lodge or Heritage in Sipi ahead of Rafiki.

    Loved this beautiful property. Awesome view of Sipi Falls. Rooms were clean and the property is beautiful. Take the walk to the end of the plateau and watch the sunset. Bring a flashlight for walking back.

    Where else could I stay longer? A place to remember and always look out for. Above all a breathe taking view of the falls.

    We spent a weekend at Rafiki Safari Lodge, this is the best and easiest to locate lodge around Sipi Falls. All the staff especially Doreen was very helpful. We had a very warm welcome from everyone, the views from this lodge are breathtaking, and we had the pleasure to experience this. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the service was great and the food was always served at our convenience. The only setback was not having charging outlets in the rooms which could be worked on. Overall, i'd recommend Rafiki Safari Lodge to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable lodge with breath taking views.

    Rafiki Lodge is an amazing place to relax, calm environment, nice walkways surrounded by plants that add life and privacy, and the view is breathtaking. The staffs are so welcoming and we had the best experience with the guide. Meals are served at your convenience and on point. The cottages are spacious with beautiful African interior design and hot showers.

    A beautiful place to stay within eyesight of the falls. Definitely recommend! Fun hiking across to Sipi, caves, coffee tours, community walks and so much more. The best staff and guide we've had in a long time.

    I've just had a lovely stay at Rafiki with a friend. The room was lovely and very clean. The view is amazing and the grounds are beautiful. A nicely painted network of paths connect the rooms which are surrounded by plants and trees. There are lots of places to enjoy the view and relax. Overall this was a really great place to stop while visiting Sipi!
