  “All we could say was – No Way!…By far the great lodge, five star restaurant, and a Zen spot we couldn’t dream of. Imagine sitting in your huge room, after an outdoor shower looking out your glass wall / window at elephants in the watering hole and monkeys in the trees. The attentive staff is reassuring in as distant a spot as Tanzania. You will enjoy all aspects of Faru Faru. You have to do it!” - Dan & Kathleen
