Rafters Retreat

I had a great stay at Rafters Retreat! The location is perfect for nature lovers—it's located just across the river from the Makandawa Forest Reserve, making it extremely convenient to cross over by boat. ​The host was very helpful and arranged a local guide to take me into the forest for wildlife exploration. Although we didn't spot my specific target species this time, the guide was highly responsible and took me on a fascinating route. The ecological environment around the retreat is simply amazing; I even fell asleep watching fireflies flying around just outside my mosquito net! Anyone who loves nature and ecology will absolutely love this place. ​Both breakfast and dinner were generous and delicious. I highly recommend ordering their fresh fruit juice at dinner—it's made fresh and very reasonably priced. A great spot for an immersive nature experience!

This place feels as close to nature as possible, and if that’s what you’re after it’s magical. It sits inside the jungle on a riverbank with a rapid, whose sounds are very prominent. The cabin windows face the river directly. The staff are kind and helpful, the food is good, and the spot is perfect for water activities. The jungle cabins are truly in the jungle; insects are unavoidable and cleanliness isn’t great, but if sleeping in nature is what you want, it’s acceptable.

The hotel is magnificent in a paradisiacal setting. We did the river descent with them and it was spectacular; they cover the most kilometers on the river. Breakfast and dinner were plentiful with beautiful views, and the entire hotel team is always attentive and very friendly.

“Super originele locatie in de jungle, een aanrader”

The spot is super original, right on the river, perfect for rafting and it really feels like a tropical rainforest. The only downside was that the shower had no hot water.
