Singita Sweni

Sweni Lodge is a small six-suite camp in a private concession in the Kruger National Park. The camp is certified ‘green’ and has a minimal impact on the local environment. The spacious and sumptuously decorated suites merge a modern-styled urban apartment with natural materials. The glass-walled rooms are situated along the banks of the Sweni River, offering fantastic panoramic views. There is a second bed on each of the private balconies where daring guests can choose to spend the night in the African outdoor air under the stars, covered only by a mosquito net. The impressive ‘Singita Shop’ area can keep you on your feet for hours, as everything from furniture and cutlery to wines and artwork can be purchased and shipped from here. Full spa and gym facilities are available in the adjoining spa centre. Meals are rotated from formal ‘tasting’ evenings to authentic bush and boma dinners outdoors, and your personal butler will cater for your every need. Professional wine experts recommend and select wines for each meal from the cellar. The personal service, staff and facilities are all excellent.
