We didn't stay at the lodge but took the white water rafting tour that starts up at the lodge. It was an all day event....we were picked up at our villa, taken for about a 90 minute drive up to the lodge. The drive was long but our guide was excellent throughout describing the sights as there were many interesting... More

We didn't stay at this lodge, we were driven in from Manuel Antonio for the white water rafting. Upon arriving you get breakfast and a tour of the grounds - really gorgeous. The kids really loved the water slide - super fast and scary! The rafting here really is a lot of fun. Besides being an overall great family adventure,... More

We were there for three days - two adults and one 11 year-old. We rafted during our stay. It was a great experience. Our tent was not fancy but we did not expect it to be. It had tile floors in the bathroom that was cleaned every day! The dinners were amazing - especially given the remote location. The staff... More

Folks, I realize my second review will skew the statistics by a hair, but I really feel the need to respond to a recent post implying the activities at Rafiki aren't both well explained and safe. In February I took my 11 year old daughter and 10 year old autistic son to Rafiki for a week and we had the... More

Our family of four (13 yr. old daughter, 16 yr. old son) had an unbelievable time here at Rafiki Safari Lodge. We had been told, as atravelingone complained, that the road is bumpy. Welcome to Costa Rica! We had a very careful and wonderful driver, (Rafiki Lodge employee Edwin) who not only navigated the bumps perfectly, but was able in... More

After leaving the highway, the near hour long drive bouncing between our seats and the roof on a poorly maintained road barely adequate to support our vehicle, which left our driver cursing, we arrived at Rafiki. It is a beautiful location near the river, but not on banks as stated; the river is not visible from lodge or tents. Beautiful... More

This is the best thing we did in Costa Rica We did not stay at the Rafiki Safair Lodge but scheduled a one day river water rafting trip for 4 people. Because the River was low, we were taken in two small rafts called mini-me’s. We were picked up at our house and had a long ride to the lodge.... More

We were unable to spend the night at this beautiful place but at least wanted to at least see it. It was one of our trip highlights! The staff here is so friendly and welcoming even though we were only day-visitors. They gave us a map to hike the trails, put out fruit to draw in some of their gorgeous... More

Great staff and beautiful location! White water rafting with them has been AMAZING (we have been twice already and plan to do it another 2 times)! Looking forward to trying out a few of the other tours they offer. Very organized and professional! We did not stay at the lodge, but did take a quick tour - the rooms are... More
