We invite you to glamp in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle!
Rafiki Safari Lodge is nestled on a 618 acre private reserve on the pristine Savegre River. This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is only 30 kilometers from Manuel Antonio on the Pacific Coast. Our "Glamping" experience is a perfect addition to your Costa Rica vacation. In the seclusion of the jungle, the opportunities to enjoy your holiday with us are endless. Enjoy whitewater rafting, horseback rides, nature hikes to waterfalls, and world-class birding. You may also choose to relax and utilize the amenities of the lodge itself. Speed down our water slide, soak in our solar powered hot tub, or unwind with a massage. Join us for an unforgettable experience.

Guides scout the Rio Blanco section of the River. After a massive rainstorm, it’s always prudent to check for changes. #itsahardjob #somebodyhastodoit #rafikisafarilodge #whitewaterrafting #costarica

Centro Educativo Costa Ballena had a great overnight field trip learning about sustainable tourism and what goes into running an off grid hotel in the tropical forest. Thank you so much for your visit! #centroeducativocostaballena #rafikisafarilodge #glamping #sustainability #fieldtrips #whitewaterrafting
The swimming hole is ready to be filled up. We are hoping for a good turnout for the first kids triathlon! Information coming soon!

Changing of the season. Hot afternoon give way to mists, clouds, rain showers only seen in the tropical climates. In the blink of an eye the landscape can change. There is nothing like sitting in on the porch watching the world go round. #rafikisafarilodge
Tiny humans in a big world. In the nSavegre Valley, Nature still dominates the landscape.
