Explore Journey →7 Days Singita Faru Faru Luxury Safari Experience
This 7-day ultra-luxury safari is designed for travelers who want the Serengeti at its most exclusive—no compromises on comfort, privacy, and guiding quality. You’ll fly into the Serengeti and base your stay at Singita Faru Faru Lodge, celebrated for contemporary design, outstanding hospitality, and exceptional wildlife viewing in a private wilderness setting. Your days are shaped by nature and preference, not a rigid timetable: early starts for predators, long slow tracking sessions when something special is happening, and relaxed afternoons by the river or in your plunge pool when you want downtime.
With a dedicated guide and tracker team, the safari becomes deeper than “seeing animals.” You’ll read tracks, interpret bird alarms, anticipate movement, and position for the best light and angles. Between drives, Singita’s service is seamless—gourmet dining, curated wines (selection varies by package), thoughtful details, and spaces that make you feel connected to the landscape without losing comfort.
If you’d like, we can add a Serengeti balloon safari, private bush dining, conservation experiences, or a post-safari beach extension. This itinerary keeps the same 7-day structure while tailoring the daily rhythm to you.
Day 1: Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) – VIP Transfer to Arusha
On arrival at JRO, you’ll be welcomed and transferred privately to Arusha for a relaxed first night. This gentle start is important: it allows you to recover from travel, adjust to the time zone, and begin the safari feeling fresh rather than rushed. If you arrive earlier in the day, we can arrange a calm coffee stop, a short scenic drive around Arusha, or simply time to enjoy the hotel facilities.
In the evening, we’ll confirm your domestic flight details and walk you through the Singita experience—what to pack for daily drives, how flexible activities work, and how to get the most from your guide and tracker team. Dinner is at leisure, and we recommend an early night to prepare for tomorrow’s flight into the Serengeti.
Overnight: Arusha (Luxury hotel) • Meal Plan: Bed & Breakfast (or as per hotel)
Day 2: Fly to Serengeti – Private Concession Game Viewing – Singita Faru Faru Lodge
After breakfast, transfer to Arusha Airport for your scheduled flight into the Serengeti. The aerial approach is part of the magic—watching the landscape change from highlands into endless plains. Upon landing, you’ll be met by Singita’s team, and the safari begins immediately with game viewing en route to the lodge.
Your guide and tracker team will learn your preferences quickly—big cats, elephants, birds, photography, or simply slow immersive wilderness time. Depending on the season, you may track resident predators, explore river lines for leopard, or spend time around open areas where large herds gather. After arrival at the lodge, settle into your suite, take in the views, and enjoy lunch and downtime before an afternoon drive.
Evening brings sundowners in a scenic spot, followed by a gourmet dinner. This is the rhythm you can expect at Singita—exceptional guiding paired with a refined, unhurried luxury lifestyle.
Overnight: Singita Faru Faru Lodge • Meal Plan: All-Inclusive (as per lodge inclusions)
Day 3: Private Game Drives – Big Cat Focus & Riverine Habitats
The day begins early, taking advantage of prime predator hours. Your guide and tracker will position based on fresh tracks, radio updates (where applicable), and the movement patterns of lion prides, leopards, and cheetah. You’ll often see the Serengeti at its most authentic: quiet roads, long tracking sessions, and the patience required for exceptional sightings.
Return for breakfast and a relaxed late morning. You might choose a spa moment, time by the pool, or simply watching wildlife from the lodge decks. After lunch, head out again for afternoon game viewing—often perfect for elephants along river crossings, hyena clans becoming active, and golden light photography.
Your evening can be tailored: a classic lodge dinner, a private bush dining setup, or sundowners in a location chosen specifically for the mood you want—romantic, scenic, or wildlife-heavy.
Overnight: Singita Faru Faru Lodge • Meal Plan: All-Inclusive
Day 4: Signature Serengeti Day – Optional Balloon Safari & Special Experiences
Today is designed for “signature moments.” If you want a bucket-list add-on, we can arrange a Sunrise Hot-Air Balloon Safari (optional, on request). You’ll lift off at first light and drift across the plains as herds move below—followed by a bush-style breakfast that feels timeless.
If you prefer to stay on the ground, the day remains highly flexible: your guide can focus on a specific goal such as leopard photography, lion prides with cubs, or finding rare behaviors. The key advantage here is time—no park-to-park transfer pressure—so you can stay with a sighting longer and wait for the moment that makes the experience unforgettable.
In the evening, you might choose a private dining experience, a curated wine pairing, or simply a relaxed dinner at the lodge followed by stargazing and the quiet soundtrack of the bush.
Overnight: Singita Faru Faru Lodge • Meal Plan: All-Inclusive
Day 5: Deep Wilderness Tracking – Slow Safari, Big Encounters
This day is for travelers who want to feel the Serengeti rather than “tick boxes.” Your guide and tracker can plan longer tracking loops, spend time around river lines for stealth predators, or follow herds to see how wildlife behavior changes throughout the day. The best sightings often come from patience—waiting, listening, and letting the bush reveal itself naturally.
Midday is your luxury reset: a long lunch, a quiet swim, a nap, or time in your suite’s plunge pool. The afternoon drive can be adjusted to your mood—fast and focused for predators, or slow and scenic for landscapes and light. This is where Singita shines: the ability to make a safari day feel personal, not packaged.
Evening is another opportunity for a special setup—whether it’s bush dining, a private celebration, or a relaxed lodge dinner with exceptional service and attention to detail.
Overnight: Singita Faru Faru Lodge • Meal Plan: All-Inclusive
Day 6: Final Serengeti Safari Day – Farewell Drives & Sunset Moments
Your last full day is the chance to complete your Serengeti story—revisiting favorite areas, focusing on any species you still want to see, or chasing one last dramatic moment on the plains. Early morning often delivers strong predator activity, and your guide will aim to make the most of the remaining time.
Later, enjoy a slow morning at the lodge, perhaps with a conservation-focused conversation or simply watching wildlife from your deck. The afternoon drive can end with an extended sundowner—one final pause in the wilderness to reflect on the journey.
Your farewell dinner is a celebration of the week—exceptional cuisine, warm service, and the rare feeling of having lived inside the Serengeti rather than merely visiting it.
Overnight: Singita Faru Faru Lodge • Meal Plan: All-Inclusive
Day 7: Fly Back to Arusha – Transfer to JRO – Departure
After breakfast (and depending on flight time, possibly a short farewell drive), you transfer to the airstrip for your return flight to Arusha. On arrival, you’ll be met for a smooth transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your onward flight.
If your international departure is later in the day, we can arrange a day room, a relaxed lunch, or shopping time in Arusha—keeping everything comfortable and stress-free.
