Singita Sweni Lodge lies on the banks of the meandering Sweni River, in the secluded eastern reaches of the Kruger National Park. The majestic Lebombo Mountains run across this remote wilderness area renowned for its lion prides. Situated in riverine forest and elevated on stilted timber decks, Sweni’s dark wood structures and shades of green blend harmoniously with the landscape. Sweni Lodge offers guests the quintessential African safari, accompanied by flawless service.

The Kruger National Park is the largest game reserve in South Africa, covering almost two million hectares. The diversity of ecosystems spanned by the Park is home to an astounding array of wildlife and birds.

Accommodation

Lush trees shade the six luxurious suites of Singita Sweni, carefully sited for tranquil seclusion along the banks of the river. Full-length glass walls allow for unparalleled views of the riverine forest, and the textures and colours of the décor echo the landscape. Each elevated suite boasts a full en-suite bathroom with additional outdoor shower. The spacious living area flows out to an expansive timber deck with a day bed – a magical space to spend the night under the silver-speckled skies with the sounds of the wild to lull you to sleep.

Wildlife

The Nwanetsi Concession covers four distinct ecological zones, with a great biodiversity of birds and wildlife. The area is home to the Big Five, including famously large prides of Mountain lion. In addition, there are frequent sightings of cheetah, wild dog, hyena, giraffe, zebra, sable, waterbuck, hippo, wildebeest, kudu, and crocodile.

Birdlife is prolific with over 300 species recorded in the region. Five vulture species are present: White-backed, Lappet-faced, White-headed, Hooded, and less frequently, the Cape vulture. The red-billed, and the endangered yellow-billed oxpeckers, are also residents of the region. Other notable species include the African Pipit, Chestnut-backed sparrow-lark, Harlequin quail, and Southern black tit.
