Rafikisresthouse is very close to the river (2 mins walk), yet private. Access to the restaurants and the two shopping centers is easy and the house is close to Crocodile Gate at Kruger National Park (only 12 mins) which can save you up to 25 mins compared to other places in Marloth Park.The shade provided by the magnificent old trees and the rock pool are a relief in summer. There is a splash pool for children. It is a birds' paradise. There are two viewing terraces. All 4 bedrooms and the two lounges have AC and ceiling fans. 3 bathrooms. Linen and towels are provided. Zebra, bushbuck, kudu, wildebeest, impala, warthog, monkeys, as well as other small game and birds are all regular visitors, especially once they realise that the occupants of the house will give fresh water every day. A few days' stay at least is therefore very advisable as the longer you stay the more regular the animals will come. At night while sitting on the veranda or having a braai at the BBQ place, you will hear lion roar and hippo laugh while in the morning one hears the elephant trumpeting. A luxury tent on the upper balcony can maximize this wildlife experience. Daily cleaning service is to be paid extra

I am a professor at university who loves nature and animals and the unwinding effect of the bush life. We want you to be relaxed, share our love for nature and feel very welcome. To us, to enjoy nature and wildlife, privacy and quietness are essential. If you feel the same, Rafiki's Resthouse is the place to be.

Apart from neighbouring Kruger National Park (Crocodile River is the border), Marloth Park is close to Swaziland, Mozambique and the famous Panorama Route. We can arrange attractive tours for you to the Panorama route, Swaziland or Mozambique. This will enable you to save time and also enjoy your holiday to the max as the guide and driver is experienced and knows what tourists cannot know. Safari drives, private or not, can be organised. These should be reserved in advance.
