Reviewed by, James Bester; The lodge; Smaller than her sister lodge (Lebombo), offering more of a personal/ romantic feel. Simply the best I have ever experienced, from the rooms to the main lodge to the staff to the food - awesome. The wildlife; Big five, excellent for birding, activities include game drives, guided walks and mountain biking. The experience; It was a true pleasure of staying here and experiencing everything that Sweni has to offer, although it was with a broken heart that I had to leave.

Pricing; Yes, expensive but worth every cent as it includes almost everything Uyaphi rating; 5 Star +, very few lodges in the world are better Suggested itinerary; » 2 - 3 nights Singita Ebony, Boulders or Castleton in the Sabi Sand Reserve. » 2 - 3 nights Singita Sweni or Lebombo in the Singita concession with the Kruger Park. » 2 - 3 nights Singita Pamushana Lodge in Malilangwe Reserve (Southern Zimbabwe). » 3 - 5 nights in any of our Cape Town accommodation establishments » If you have the time we strongly recommend a Botswana safari and/ or Victoria Falls. Of interest; » Photographs of Singita Sweni » Photographs within the Singita Concession  Singita Sweni can be found on the far eastern reaches of the Kruger National Park, not too far from South Africa's border with Mozambique. Situated along 15 000 hectares (33 000 acres) in the south eastern part of the Kruger National Park, the Singita Lebombo concession is an isolated slice of pristine wilderness. This area represents one of the few remaining unexplored territories in Africa where a unique wildlife population thrives across four different eco-zones. Like Singita Lebombo Lodge, Sweni stands only in temporary appreciation of this magnificent place. With a style that is distinctly African, Singita Sweni unites earthenware pots and ethnic artworks with contemporary pieces, against a dark palette lifted with flashes of lime, avocado and kiwi. Built on stilts with decks of dark timber, Sweni is the smallest and most taciturn of the Singita lodges, with six supremely luxurious hides tucked away among the trees. The design of Singita Sweni was influenced by nature and its habitats. Sitting low on the Sweni River, this tranquil sanctuary is built on stilts with decks of dark timber, giving it a grounded and earthy feel. ROOM & SUITE TYPES: There are six suites with lounge and dining area decorated with African artifacts, leather and khaki which give the suite a classic safari feel. Luxury suites with floor-to-ceiling glass walls consist of luxurious bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, an expansive living area, mini bar and fridge, room safe and private wooden leisure decks. All suites are air-conditioned and also offer the option of ceiling fans. Rooms have direct dial telephones. The main lodge boasts lounge and timber deck dining areas with views of the bush. There is also a bar area, a lounge area (complete with fi replace), a swimming pool and a wine cellar. FOOD & WINE: Guests at Singita Sweni encounter something truly original: a cuisine inspired by African flavours and yet guided by the Western culinary tradition. Menus cater to both the adventurous and more conservative tastes and all special dietary requirements can be accommodated. Ask to visit the wine cellar, where you will fi nd an extensive array of some of South Africa's finest wines. FACILITIES/ACTIVITIES: Guests have access to a wide range of activities, including; – Early morning game drives and guided bush walks. – Guided safari walks on request. – Mountain biking and archery. – Afternoon (into evening) game drives in open Land-Rovers. – A swimming pool. – The African Trading Store stocks a range of African artifacts and curios. – Visit the Spa complete with a fully-equipped gymnasium. – Internet, Satellite TV and fax facilities are available to guests at both lodges. |
