the staff was very helpful, we did a late check in and they were waiting for us and giving us a call to help us organised the ride to the hotel with a driver, breakfast is very nice, the hotel is not in the city so the good thing is that can be very quiet and cool for relaxing, the room was super big we had a little living room, a kitchen space and a bedroom space, all separate so it makes it easy for feeling cool with all the luggage

“Creative design and a good stop for Ol Pejeta”
A nice welcoming, and we were upgraded to a better room. In the evening there was a bonfire. Lovely settings and creative design of the garden and rooms. Breakfast was offered.

“A gem at the foot of Mount Kenya”
Rafiki house made us feel so welcome - the rooms are comfortable, the dinner amazing, and the staff there to help us with all our needs. It is set back off the road and a perfect stop on the way to Samburu Parks.
