The Boma – The Heart of Rafiki Safari Camp
The Boma is the central gathering place for guests staying in our Safari Units, designed to bring people together while making the most of our beautiful surroundings. Here, you’ll find a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that perfectly complements the wilderness around you.
Relax and Refresh
At the heart of The Boma is a self-service honesty bar, stocked with a selection of drinks for you to enjoy at your own pace. The swimming pool is a favourite spot on warm summer days, with shaded areas providing the perfect place to cool off, read a book, or simply watch the clouds drift by. From the pool deck, you can take in sweeping views over the reserve – an ideal setting for unwinding after a day of adventure.
A Place to Dine and Socialise
The Boma includes catered and self-catered kitchen amenities. Guests on a catered basis can look forward to wholesome, home-style cooking made with locally sourced organic produce. Meals are served with the same warmth and care that define Malawian hospitality. If you prefer to cook for yourself, the well-equipped facilities make self-preparation easy and enjoyable.
Evenings Under the Stars
As the sun dips below the horizon, the atmosphere shifts. An ambient evening fire is lit in front of The Boma, creating the perfect setting for swapping stories, sharing a drink, or simply gazing up at the star-filled African sky. The crackle of the fire, paired with the sounds of the bush, makes for an unforgettable end to the day.
Exclusive Lodge Hire and Self-Catering Options
For guests who book Rafiki Safari Camp exclusively, there is the option to enjoy full self-catering throughout your stay. This is a great choice for families or groups wanting privacy and flexibility while still making use of all the lodge’s shared facilities, including The Boma, swimming pool, and firepit.
