Singita Faru Faru Lodge: A contemporary riverside sanctuary overlooking a bustling natural watering hole in the private Grumeti.

Singita Faru Faru Lodge is built along the gently sloping banks of the Grumeti River, defined by an earthy, contemporary Scandinavian-meets-African aesthetic. Giant stone boulders, pale canvas, raw timber, and expansive glass sliding walls frame an active private beach and a bustling natural watering hole directly in front of the lodge, allowing guests to watch elephants and plains game drink without leaving their loungers.

The nine air-conditioned suites feature clean architectural lines, soft neutral linens, private outdoor decks with Swahili daybeds, indoor and outdoor showers, and private Swarovski spotting scopes. The two-bedroom family suite and private villa provide dedicated host and vehicle services.

Two rim-flow swimming pools overlook the river watering hole, alongside a signature interactive kitchen, fireside boma, and a shaded outdoor lounge with a dedicated barista bar serving single-origin African coffees. Faru Faru provides a lighter, more relaxed organic feel compared to Sasakwa’s formal manor architecture.

Ideal for travelers who prefer relaxed contemporary design and close, eye-level proximity to wildlife over hilltop formality. As a riverine property, flying insects are present around lighting at night, and migration river crossings can be sporadic depending on seasonal rainfall.
