I had the most amazing sleep at Rafiki Beach Camp, thanks to the soothing lullaby of the waves breaking on the beach. The comfortable glamping tent provided the perfect accommodation, and the family-run atmosphere made me feel right at home. The beach was wide and flat, perfect for leisurely walks, jogging, and even playing frisbee or boogie boarding. The mini fridge with wine, beer, and water on the honor system was a convenient touch. The pool was also a great alternative to the ocean, and the bathrooms were lovely and spacious. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Mind-blowing beachfront glamping experience with stunning sunsets, private bathrooms, and friendly staff. The tent was comfortable for our family, with fans and ocean breeze replacing AC. The pristine, remote beach was a paradise with great surfing, boogie boarding, and beach walks. The pool was a glorious retreat, and the staff treated us like family. The sound of waves led to the best sleeps ever. a super and jaw-dropping destination for a relaxing vacation.
