Accommodations:
Situated on a slope,
basking in the abundance of animal species and birdlife around it,
Singita Faru Faru Lodge lends a contemporary signature style to
safari. Inspired by a botanical theme, this riverside lodge offers
barefoot elegance in a laid-back rustic setting. The organic lines
of two rim-flow swimming pools echo those of a watering hole that
lies just below.
The elevated viewing decks over the
watering hole allow guests to view game without even leaving their
lodge, and a Swahili-inspired beach offers the opportunity for
some serious rest and relaxation. The contrast of stone and canvas
against cutting-edge design and comfortable furnishings is
integrated in nine open-style suites, each with an outdoor shower or
bath. |
