Singita Faru Faru, one of the top lodges in the Serengeti, is an aesthetic and peaceful pleasure! Enjoy the local flora and fauna amidst the elegance, modern luxury and calm ambience which the lodge radiates. Faru Faru has best been described as barefoot elegance in a rustic setting.
Situated on a slope alongside the Grumeti River, the resort boasts panoramic views of the breathtaking flora and fauna which surround it. As a tribute to the Colonial Era of the African safari, Faru Faru evokes the décor of the original East African Safari Camps, with its botanical theme and laidback sophistication.
Rest and relaxation seems to be the order of the day at Faru Faru. Not only is there a Swahili-inspired ‘beach’ at the resort, but a heated pool as well. This pool is also an aesthetic masterpiece, as its two-rimmed flow seems to echo in the local water-hole beneath it.
The lodge consists of eight suites and one Villa suite, which is perfect for two travelling couples, as it has two en-suite bedrooms with a shared lounge and dining room.
The suites are fabulously decorated in a fusion of stone, canvas and comfortable furnishings.
But the best feature of Faru Faru is the elevated viewing deck, complete with Swarovski spotting scope, which allows you to enjoy the local wildlife without leaving the comfort of the lodge itself.
Of course, for those who wish to explore the area, experienced guides are on hand for twice-daily game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles into the Serengeti National Park, which boasts the largest mass of free-ranging animals on earth.
A fantastic perk of this area is its remote location, which means that you almost never see other safari vehicles – rather a rare occurrence as safari drives are so well-loved and usually quite crowded.
