Singita Sweni Lodge

In the dappled shade low on the banks of the Sweni River, Sweni Lodge shares the quiet spaces and secrets of an African waterway. Like Lebombo, Sweni Lodge stands only in temporary appreciation of this magnificent place. With a style that is distinctly African, Singita Sweni unites earthenware pots and ethnic artworks with contemporary pieces, against a dark palette lifted with flashes of lime, avocado and kiwi.

Built on stilts with decks of dark timber, Sweni Lodge is the smallest and most taciturn of the Singita lodges, with six supremely luxurious hides tucked away among the trees.

Singita Sweni

The smallest of the lodges in the Singita fold, Sweni reveals another face of the glorious Lebombo Concession. Where Lebombo Lodge stands in awe of the great wide open, Sweni delights in the peace and intimacy aside an African waterway.

Singita Sweni lodge was wholly inspired by the immense African sky, and takes inspiration from the earth. Sweni Lodge is situated on the edge of the Sweni River, providing a forested haven far from the noise of the world.

Expressing a distinctly African style, Sweni is a combination of dark wood, infused by the colors of the earth… including deep greens and multi-shades of avocado. This lodge boasts six luxurious suites that offer the ultimate luxury in a wild setting that offers time for reflection in the shade of its many trees.

The essence of Sweni is elaborate simplicity, dictated to by the Singita philosophy of ‘touching the earth lightly’ – therefore every effort is made to preserve and celebrate this beautiful environment.

Kruger National Park

The Kruger National Park is one of the most famous game reserves in the world, renowned for its abundant wildlife and incredible diversity of landscape. Singita boasts two magnificent properties in an exclusive concession of the Kruger, namely Singita Lebombo Lodge and Singita Sweni Lodge.

Located in the Kruger National Park’s southeast region, on the border with Mozambique, the Lebombo concession is one of the most pristine wild territories in Africa. The majestic Lebombo mountain range runs diagonally across the expanse of the concession, intertwined with the N’wanetsi and Sweni Rivers. The area is renowned for the big five, abundant antelope and birdlife and an incredible diversity of smaller animals. Rangers attest to the fact that this region boasts a greater density of wildlife than anywhere else on the continent. In terms of scenic beauty and diversity, the Lebombo region is no doubt one of the most exceptional regions of the Kruger National Park.
