About
Rafiki Safari Lodge is well-placed on a cliff standing at about 1,785 metres above sea level, with an amazing view of the horizon and the third and highest Sipi Falls — named Ngasire — clearly visible from the lodge's wooden deck. Rafiki Safari Lodge offers a wide range of accommodation options: single, double/twin, triple, family rooms, and camping. Single rooms are built for solo travellers sleeping on a queen-sized bed with all linen, a mosquito net, and a private bathroom with a warm shower. Family cottages accommodate up to eight guests across two rooms, with queen-sized beds, a bunk bed, en-suite bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the valley. The lodge offers intimate fireside dining, a comfortable reading lounge, an airy veranda, and a bar stocked with beers, wines, and a fine selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. From certain points on the property, all three Sipi waterfalls are visible simultaneously — Sipi (95 metres), Simba (74 metres), and Ngasire (85 metres). The lodge arranges guided waterfall hikes, coffee farm tours, and cave explorations.
