About Singita Sweni Lodge

Singita Sweni Lodge is the smaller and more intimate sister property to Lebombo, housing just six indoor-outdoor suites along the Sweni River on the same 15,000-hectare private concession inside Kruger National Park. Where Lebombo is bold and architectural, Sweni is gentle and organic — tucked into the riverine forest with a design that feels like an extension of the natural landscape.

Each suite features floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing fantastically comfortable rooms: high-end beds, indoor and outdoor showers, a spacious living area, and a private wooden deck with a daybed from which to gaze through binoculars at the river and forest beyond. The overall feel is one of serene immersion in the wilderness.

Guests share the same exclusive concession and world-class guiding as Lebombo, with twice-daily Land Rover safaris, guided walks, and the freedom to track animals off-road. The intimate size of the lodge — just 12 guests at full capacity — creates an exceptionally personal experience.

Food and drink are included, with meals crafted by the same talented culinary team that serves Lebombo. The smaller scale allows for more personalised dining experiences, from private river dinners to surprise bush breakfasts.
