History
Singita Sweni Lodge is one of Singita's smallest and most intimate lodges, tucked into a riverine forest on the banks of the Sweni River within a private concession on the eastern edge of Kruger National Park, near the confluence of the Sweni and N'wanetsi rivers. Set on the same Lebombo concession as its sister lodge Singita Lebombo, Sweni was among the additions that opened the concession to guests in the early 2000s.
The lodge hosts just seven suites whose glass-fronted, open-plan units blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, with decks that seem to hover in the trees, outdoor showers over the river, and daybeds for sleeping under the stars. Bold contemporary interiors — inspired by beetles, chameleons and birds' wings — set against tightly lined eucalyptus-pole walls and roofs give the lodge a distinctive design language within some of Africa's most celebrated wilderness.
