Experience the green season

For many, the idea of the Serengeti landscape conjures visions of endless golden grasslands and the stark outline of dry, thorny scrub. This is indeed one face of this vast ecosystem, but it can also be a shimmering, emerald sea of dense vegetation and flowering plants; the summer “green season”.

Conservation at Singita Serengeti

The Grumeti Fund is the proud custodian of 350,000 acres of this unique ecosystem. Ensuring the continued protection of the Singita Serengeti concessions, situated primarily in the critical western corridor of the plains, is essential to the future sustainability of the ancient migration that defines these lands. When the Grumeti Fund took over the management of this…

Testimonials for Faru Faru Lodge

“Serengeti at its best”

Stayed at Singita Faru Faru Lodge for 3 nights in November. Our rooms were modern and magnificent, the food was good, our tracker was nothing short of brilliant. We saw everything except Leopard.

It was a great experience and I would not hesitate to stay there again.

“Amazing”

There is no fault to find with this place. Fantastic attentive staff, lodges that will make you go wow when you walk in and spectacular scenery. Would definitely go back. Big thank you to our personal Butler and cocktail shaker, and the fab catering team.

Special big up to our guide for the three days – excellent knowledge and care and attention to detail. Brilliant holiday, just too short.

“Lovely setting, intimate, and great service”

Lovely set up, nicely appointed rooms, great views, and wonderfully intimate. Everyone is really friendly, helpful, and assisting. The rooms are very thoughtful, with little surprises.

Great game viewing as well. Great place!

“Incredible first trip to Africa”

This was our first trip to Africa and we did not know what to expect. Boy were we blown away! This lodge is absolutely incredible! The lodge managers were extremely friendly, professional and took time to get to know each and every guest. The rooms were very clean, luxurious and the views were breath-taking. Our room was very close to the main lodge and overlooked two watering holes and it was incredible to see animals right from our room. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower. Our personal waiter was phenomenal. He always had a smile on his face and was very professional. He made us feel very spoiled and took the time to get to know us and vice versa. The food was 5-star. One morning we packed a breakfast so we could stay out longer and see more animals–we ate breakfast with zebras all around us.

We took advantage of the spa and had a couple’s massage which we would highly recommend. There is not one negative thing we experienced during our stay. This place is so amazing and we just wished we would have had more time there.

“Honeymoon at Faru Faru was a dream”

Faru Faru was a balanced mix of tented/bungalow accommodation in the bush mixed with luxury. We loved the panoramic views of the river from the room and the little private deck off the bathroom was so nice to read/nap outside in between meals and drives. I’d highly recommend staying here for a few nights mixed with Sasakwa Lodge for remaining nights.

“Extraordinary!!”

It’s difficult not to love Faru Faru. It is perfectly set up in a reserve with abundant wildlife – we saw countless lions, giraffes, elephants and hyenas. The room and the main area, with the infinity pool, is so beautiful. And, the food and service is amazing! I look forward to visiting Singita Grumeti again, perhaps I will stay at Singita Explore or Mara River Tented Camp next time.”

“Amazing Place!”

This is luxury in the wild! Every detail has been considered, even AC in the rooms and strong wifi. The staff is friendly, always available, and most helpful. Our room overlooked two pools where zebras frolicked. Giraffes also came by to check out the water. The monkeys were as interested in us as we were in them, staring down from the trees to see what we were doing. All this before you even leave the lodge area!!

Alfred, our guide and tracker took great care of us and was able to show us a leopard cub, the only animal which had eluded us during our first 10 days of safari!. The Grumeti reserve is breathtaking and expansive. We saw lions, elephants, a cheetah and her cubs, etc, etc. Lots of wildlife but few other jeeps during our three days with Alfred.

The lodge provided us with exceptional entertainment and made a special celebration of the birthday of one of our fellow travelers. We were also treated to a surprise brunch along the river. The staff at Faru Faru went over and above to make our stay memorable.

“We NOW understand perfection”

We stayed at Singita Faru Faru for the last couple of days of our Safari. It was worth the wait. The service was the best we have ever received at any luxury hotel. Privacy, quiet, excellent food. Great to have a gym. Enjoyed the outdoor shower. We had a private wine tasting that was very special. The last night the staff honored our anniversary with a special dessert and when we returned to the room, a warm bubble bath, candles and champagne. Honestly it cannot get any better.

We loved the fact that you are assigned a personal waiter and he takes care of you morning, noon and night. He learns your preferences very quickly and ours (Rami) I am sure was the best….because we cannot even imagine anyone better. Our guide was tremendous and was diligent about finding the animals that we were most interested in seeing.

“A Luxurious Safari Experience”

My husband and I had been to Tanzania before, but never on a safari. It was a truly wonderful way to experience our first one. The internet is surprisingly good (my husband and I needed to keep up on some work emails) and the property even had a gym.

The amount and diversity of game we saw was outstanding and our guide extremely knowledgeable. It really had it all- amazing service, food, rooms, (even great a/c), and the chance to see some incredible animals. If you have ever wanted to experience a safari, but want a luxurious experience at the same time I would highly recommend Faru Faru.

“Incredible safari”

We stayed at both Singita Faru Faru and Sasakwa. They were both incredible in their own ways. Jeremia was our safari guide and was incredible. Stephen was our waiter and he was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. The entire staff exceeded every expectation. And the food was absolutely incredible. They couldn’t do enough to make us happy – it was the most amazing place we have ever stayed. Rained a little most days but i found i actually preferred some of the rides in the rain. We also did the hot air balloon. Seeing the Serengeti from a birds eye view was breathtaking.
