The surrounding grassland is so full of wildlife that you can lounge in the swimming pool overlooking the waterhole, recline in the Lodge's elevated viewing decks or unwind in the comfort of your luxurious room and watch as predators and prey are drawn right up to the lodge.

Safari Activities

Singita Faru Faru lies in the 350,000 acre Grumeti Reserves in Northern Tanzania. There are daily game drives with professional guides and trackers. This is just the perfect place to get up close to Africa’s incredible animals day and night. The wide open spaces teem with game of all sizes and spot-lit night time drives reveal the elusive magic of  Africa after dark. The game drives are in carefully modified Land Cruisers, each accommodating a maximum of six guests. During your stay at Singita Faru Faru, you are likely to spot a great variety of wildlife including cheetah, bearded wildebeest, bat eared fox, black rhino, Maasai giraffe, lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, zebra and the rare Colobus monkey. Between safaris you can retreat to the spa, work out in the gym or join the chefs in the interactive kitchen. Commemorate your trip with a keepsake from the boutique. Jump into either of the two swimming pools overlooking the water. After your afternoon game drive. enjoy a wine cellar tasting to begin the evening.

Accommodation

The nine stone, canvas and thatched suites (including a family suite and a two-bedroom villa) have the air of a classic safari camp, yet the interiors offer the ultimate in contemporary chic with panoramic glass windows, mirrored room dividers and freestanding baths. The result is very atmospheric. The wall facing the riverine bush is largely glazed and gives superb bush views. The suites have air conditioning and some have a choice of interior or exterior showers.
