Singita Faru Faru Lodge

Flying to the Singita Faru Faru Lodge from Arusha or Kilimanjaro airports is recommended. Direct flights take just over one hour—the flights land at the Singita Sasakwa airstrip inside the Grumeti Reserve. Luggage limits apply, 15kg per person, in a softshell bag.

It is possible to drive to the lodge, but flying is recommended for comfort.

Guests at the lodge might reasonably expect to see animals in great variety, such as giraffes, lions, leopards, buffalo, wildebeest, and many more. Our game drives will introduce you to various terrain, which means various amazing animals.

The cost of a stay will depend on the dates of your stay and the number of guests. Please get in touch with us directly for prices.

Our tents are available in single, double, twin, triple, or family.

Yes, with advance notice, we can cater to most dietary requirements. Singita Faru Faru Lodge recommends reminding the team of your needs on arrival at the lodge.

Yes, the Singita Faru Faru Lodge provides hot water for showers.

It is useful to arrive at the lodge with sufficient cash to pay for extra drinks and staff gratuities. Banknotes such as 5-dollar, 10-dollar, and 20-dollar bills are best. Poor network coverage in the park may mean the card machine is not always working. Most of the time, you can use US Dollars in Tanzania, particularly in tourist areas, and major credit cards are accepted at most hotels, lodges, and camps. However, we advise having some local currency on you if you want to purchase from a local shop. Major towns and airports have forex bureaus where you can exchange most major currencies such as US Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, etc.

The price includes accommodation, all meals, drinks (excluding only Champagne), game drives twice daily, vehicle transfers from the Sasakwa airstrip to the lodge and back, telephone calls, wi-fi, and limited laundry service.

The Singita Grumeti Fund anti-poaching team of 120 scouts patrols the 350,000-acre private reserve. They base themselves in a dozen lodges, with observation posts (OP) throughout the reserve. They look for poachers and any injured wildlife or cattle entering the reserve.

If they desire, guests can visit one of the posts to meet the scouts and understand their job and lives. This is an educational and informative experience enjoyed and valued by those who choose to visit. Poaching is a big problem in Tanzania; this work is challenging and dangerous.

Tanzania is not just about wildlife; it is also about its wonderful people, too. Singita is fully committed to community development projects, and our lodge guests can visit some of the local communities with which the Grumeti Fund Community Outreach Program partners. The objectives of this work include improved education, water, and other natural resource management and private enterprise. Guests are encouraged to join us in visiting these communities!
