Singita Faru Faru Lodge
A Front-Row Seat to the Serengeti’s Spectacle
Singita Faru Faru Lodge is an extraordinary safari destination located in the heart of the Serengeti, offering travelers an unmatched opportunity to experience luxury, tranquility, and wildlife immersion all in one. This stunning lodge lies within its own private concession—approximately 350,000 acres of pristine, untouched wilderness—giving you exclusive access to one of the most iconic ecosystems on the planet.
Whether you’re witnessing the thunder of the Great Migration or enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the bush after the herds have passed, Singita Faru Faru Lodge provides the ideal base for an unforgettable African adventure. From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped in world-class hospitality and breathtaking natural beauty.
A Perfectly Positioned Wilderness Retreat
Singita Faru Faru Lodge is situated on a gently sloping hill overlooking the Grumeti River in northern Tanzania, right in the path of the Great Migration. This strategic location allows guests to sit back and enjoy a front-row seat to the spectacular movement of thousands of wildebeest and zebra as they traverse the plains. And when the migration has moved on, the rich ecosystem still teems with life—giraffe, lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and countless bird species are all commonly sighted within the concession.
Unlike public areas of the Serengeti, this private reserve ensures an exclusive experience with very few vehicles, meaning your game drives feel more intimate and less like a tourist trail.
Exceptional Suites with Uninterrupted Views
The lodge features eight luxurious suites, each designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape while offering supreme comfort and style. The décor combines contemporary African aesthetics with natural textures and earthy tones. Every suite comes with:
-
A private reading area
-
Floor-to-ceiling picture windows offering panoramic views
-
A Swarovski telescope for up-close wildlife viewing from your room
-
A spacious bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers
-
Thoughtful details like organic bath products, plush robes, and locally inspired décor
For guests traveling with family or in groups, the Villa Suite is ideal. This two-bedroom unit comfortably accommodates two couples and comes with its own private pool, lounge, and dining area—perfect for shared moments without sacrificing personal space.
There is also a dedicated family suite for four, offering ample room and kid-friendly amenities, ensuring that families can enjoy both the adventure and the luxury in harmony.

Whether it’s a sunrise breakfast before your morning game drive, a picnic on the plains, or a candlelit dinner under the stars, every meal is a moment to savor.
Wellness and Relaxation in the Heart of Nature
Between game drives and bush walks, guests can unwind at the lodge’s beautifully appointed spa and wellness center.
