In love sake of Rafiki - First of all, this is an honest review. From the moment you step in, you feel like you’re home. The entire Rafiki team is incredible; each person you meet makes you want to stay a little longer and come back again someday just to see them. And the Sinai hike—it was one of the most breathtaking experiences I’ve had in a long time.
