Destination Overview
Having been granted the rights to a concession in a corner of Kruger National Park on the border of Mozambique, and nestled in the shade of the banks of the Sweni River, Sweni Lodge follows the Singita philosophy of “touching the earth lightly.”
Built on stilts with decks of dark timber, Sweni is the most intimate of the Singita lodges, with six luxurious hideaways tucked among the trees, offering time for peaceful reflection as well as the opportunity to see the Big Five and other game and bird life.
Singita lodges, most of them members of Relais & Châteaux, have won numerous international awards including:
- #1 Hotel Overall, Hotel in Africa & the Middle East, and Small Hotel - Travel + Leisure 2008 World’s Best Awards
- #2 in the World and #1 in Africa and Middle East - 2008 T+L 500 Awards
