Enjoy the unique sensation of being in the heart of the savannah - protected and serene. The suites of Singita Faru Faru Lodge, situated on a slope, offer spectacular views over Serengeti National Park. Glazed viewing decks allow you to observe herds of elephants, wildebeest and zebra who come within eyesight to drink at their watering hole in Grumeti River, soon to be followed by leopards and hyenas.This is just a foretaste of the safaris in four-wheel drives or on foot to come. And upon return from these expeditions, each cottage offers the traveller a light-filled exclusive cocoon-like haven, and the lodge’s terraces, pools and spa are the ideal spot to rest and relax in perfect harmony with nature.
Enjoy a Classic Adventure on the plains of the SerengetiView details
Experience a camp ambiance reminiscent of a bygone era. Take an extraordinary journey back in time, staying in the protected Grumeti reserve, on the edge of Serengeti National Park. The camp is ideally located at the very spot through which the great annual wildlife migration passes, with a landscape that stretches for as far as the eye can see. The tents boast a colonial style décor; Persian carpets, silk curtains and mahogany furniture in the heart of the savannah add a touch of spectacular sophistication. Gaze with awe at the sunrise while sitting at the edge of the pool, or savour gourmet meals in the middle of the plain. When night falls, just imagine dining beneath the acacias, under starlit skies.
Lodge and restaurant in a game reserveView details
The Serengeti plain is a 60 000 km2 savannah between Kenya and Tanzania. Every year, it becomes the theatre for the migration of thousands of animals including zebras, gazelles and black wildebeest from the Northern hills to the Southern plains and back. At Singita Grumeti Reserves, you will have front row seats for this breathtaking spectacle. You will succumb to the charm and elegance of this lodge set on the hillside, and its ten private cottages each with its own lawn and a private infinity plunge pool overlooking the plains below. As well as the 4WD safari option for a close up view of the wildlife, you can also float above the plain in a hot air balloon, or gallop on horseback alongside the zebras.
