Singita Faru Faru Lodge
Grumeti Reserve, Tanzania · Singita · Grand Luxury
Singita Faru Faru Lodge opened in 2007 on the Grumeti River in the Serengeti's western corridor, its nine suites arranged around a waterhole that draws game past the rooms daily. A 2019 redesign stripped the original 1940s botanist-camp look down to raw timber, clay floors and oversized glass, the same year the surrounding reserve's Grumeti Fund carried out the largest single relocation of Eastern Black Rhino ever attempted, reintroducing nine of the critically endangered animals.
- 9 rooms
- Opened 2007
- Neighborhood: Serengeti
About Singita Faru Faru Lodge
- Faru Faru means 'rhino' in Swahili, a fitting name given the Grumeti Fund's work reintroducing Eastern Black Rhino to the reserve.
- The lodge's original design, based on a 1940s and '50s botanist's camp, was completely reimagined in a 2019 redesign built around raw timber, clay and Scandinavian-style restraint.
- In 2019, the nonprofit Grumeti Fund carried out the largest single relocation and reintroduction of Eastern Black Rhino ever undertaken, moving nine of the critically endangered animals into the reserve.
- The Grumeti Fund, which manages conservation across the 350,000-acre reserve, took over the land in 2003 after decades of uncontrolled hunting had emptied it of much of its wildlife.
