Singita Sweni
Singita Sweni Lodge was influenced by the structures of dens, warrens and lairs found in the area. Flanking the Sweni River, this tranquil sanctuary is elevated on stilts with decks of timber. Even when you’re indoors, you’ll have the sensation of being close to the river and trees.
The six secluded suites, with tactile furnishings, have been carefully created to bring in the textures and shades of the bush. Designed with open-plan living in mind, your suite flows from the bathroom area, through to the lounge and into the bedroom – yet if you wish, each area may be sealed off by curtains. Try the outdoor shower overlooking the river or – for a magical experience – ‘camp out’ under the stars on the day bed out on your viewing deck.
The lodge has provides visitors with gourmet game that compares with the world’s finest cuisine. Exotic venison such as springbok and ostrich are combined with the freshest African flavours and ingredients to craft simple, delicious food with great culinary flair. All Singita lodges offer spectacular bush breakfasts, al fresco meals on outstretched wooden decks, and dining indoors or under the stars in reed enclosed traditional bomas.
It is acknowledged that the main reason people come to Singita is to experience everything the African bushveld has to offer. Because of this, particular emphasis is placed on the game drive experience and everything possible is done to ensure that game drives are comfortable, informative, inspirational and memorable.

6 Double Suites accommodating 12 guests
Appointed in dappled shade on the banks of the Sweni River at Singtia Lebombo in Kruger National Park, Sweni Lodge exudes a sense of intimacy and seclusion.
