Marafiki Safari Lodge. At Marafiki the sun rises from behind the dark silhouette of the Kyambura Gorge resting on the far shores of Lake George. As the savannah plains come to life, elephants move silently across the grasslands. Meanwhile, birds dart between the trees, filling the air with a vibrant morning chorus, while hippos yawn lazily in the shimmering waters of Lake George. In addition, from the comfort of your luxury safari tent, you experience a truly perfect African morning, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the wild.
