At Marafiki Safari Lodge, the sun rises from behind the dark silhouette of the Kyambura Gorge, which rests on the far shores of Lake George. The savannah plains come to life with elephants moving silently across the savannah grasslands, and birds darting between the trees. Their sounding morning choruses and hippos yawning lazily in the shimmering waters of Lake George shall guarantee a truly perfect African experience. This is all from the comfort of your luxury safari tent.
