Overview

Located in the exclusive Singita Grumeti Reserve, Northern Tanzania, Singita Faru Faru offers a high end safari experience with stylish, comfortable facilities and superb game viewing.

The main areas of this contemporary lodge are open air and comprise two swimming pools, outdoor dining areas and lounge with television area and bar. The facilities are extensive and include a spa, gym, wine cellar, boutique shop and gallery.

Situated on a renowned migratory route, it is safe to say guests here will not be disappointed by the game viewing. Over one million wildebeest pass through the reserve during migration each year with the best times to see the main migration being May to June, and October to November. Game drives are led twice daily by expert rangers as well as walking safaris, and more unusually, horseback safaris and night safaris.

Faru Faru has only 9 suites, housing up to 22 guests on an exclusive basis. In addition to the 7 one-bedroom suites, there is a family suite, plus a two-bedroom suite with a private infinity pool. Beautifully furnished with natural materials and colours, all the rooms are ensuite and spacious. Large windows and outdoor seating allow guests to take in the surrounding scenery and wildlife from the comfort of their rooms.

For families with young children this is an unbeatable choice. Unusually, children of all ages are welcome at Singita Faru Faru and there are no age restrictions on game drives. A number of educational activities are organised to keep children busy, along with a ‘Mini Rangers Course’ which teaches them about their African surroundings. Such a family friendly atmosphere is a big plus for families with younger children looking to find a safari that is inclusive of the whole family. Babysitting services are also available.

The Singita Reserve is known for its exclusivity and high quality accommodation so a high price tag should be expected for any visit to this area. A flawless facility in an excellent location, Singita Faru Faru is a winning choice for those looking for a top-end safari experience.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
