Safari with a distinctly contemporary edge, this riverside lodge offers boutique luxury throughout its en-suite, air-conditioned suites, each with an outside shower or bath, set amidst the raw beauty of the Tanzanian plains.

Singita safari lodges are among the best, and here, Faru Faru’s our favourite. Unlike some in the Serengeti, it has great game viewing year round, and not just during the Migration. There’s a real sense of pride here too and, above all, a care to make sure you enjoy your stay. The style is a gorgeous mix of traditional African craftsmanship and Scandinavian simplicity; and they’ve thought of everything too, from the huge electric picture window to the dedicated Family Suite and a two-bedroom Villa Suite.
