Luxury Riverside Safari Lodge in the Grumeti Reserve
Grumeti Private Game Reserve, Tanzania
A truly authentic Serengeti sanctuary, Singita Faru Faru Lodge is perfect for travellers seeking calm, comfort and a deep connection with nature. Set along the banks of the Grumeti River, the lodge feels completely immersed in the landscape, with wildlife frequently wandering past your suite or the main guest areas.
One of the standout features of Faru Faru is its sweeping glass frontage. Oversized windows throughout the lodge create a seamless flow between indoors and out, offering uninterrupted views of the river, plains and passing wildlife. The nine spacious suites are beautifully furnished, combining natural textures with contemporary elegance to create a soothing retreat after each day’s adventures.
Between game drives, relax in the main guest area, stop by the café-style bar for an ice-cold G&T or spend an afternoon by the pool overlooking the riverbed. It is one of the most peaceful places in the entire Grumeti Reserve.

WHY WE LOVE SINGITA Faru Faru
Faru Faru sits in front of a busy waterhole, so memorable wildlife moments often happen right from your suite. The lodge is set within 350,000 acres of protected wilderness in the private Singita Grumeti Reserve, part of the greater Serengeti–Mara ecosystem. This location offers exceptional year-round wildlife viewing, with the added bonus of seeing the Great Migration during certain months, all without the crowds.
Insider’s Tip: Make time to visit the anti-poaching observation post. The elevated vantage point offers extraordinary views across the reserve and a deeper appreciation for Singita’s conservation work.
