Situated in the western corridor of the legendary Serengeti, Singita Faru Faru Lodge overlooks a natural waterhole and the treeline of the Grumeti River. The nine-stone, canvas, and thatched suites (including a family suite and a 2-bedroom villa) have the air of a classic safari camp. Yet, the interiors offer the ultimate contemporary chic, with panoramic glass windows, mirrored room dividers, and claw-foot baths.

Due to the natural watering hole on-site, guests needn’t ever leave; here, the safari comes to you. The surrounding grassland is so awash with wildlife that guests can lounge in the swimming pool overlooking the waterhole, recline in the lodge’s elevated viewing decks, or unwind in their luxurious room and watch as predators and prey are drawn right up to the lodge.
