Hugging a rocky slope within hundreds of thousands of acres of private land, basking in the sun among a plethora of animals and birdlife, Faru Faru offers barefoot elegance in a laid-back rustic milieu. Six open-style air-conditioned suites, all with a discrete outdoor shower or bath, grace a locale that is ideally positioned on the renowned wildebeest migratory route. From the huge picture window or elevated observation deck, you can view game without even leaving the lodge. The lines of the heated rim-flow swimming pools echo those of the watering hole lying just below. Moreover, a Swahili-inspired 'beach' allows an opportunity for some serious rest and relaxation.
