Singita Lebombo-Sweni / Kruger National Park

The Singita Group encapsulates the ultimate African safari experience with spectacular lodges on prime Big Five game viewing land. Singita exudes exquisite luxury, rare solitude and perfect tranquility, creating an unrivalled guest experience and making it one of the world's premier destinations. Lebombo and Sweni are situated on a 15,000 hectare (38,000 acre) private concession on the remote eastern boundary of Kruger National Park. Set amidst the Lebombo mountain ridges at the confluence of the Nwanetsi and Sweni Rivers, a rare wilderness experience with spectacular scenery boasts the highest concentration of wildlife in the entire park.

Lebombo Lodge is constructed almost entirely of wood and glass with light modernist interiors to create a sense of space and oneness with the African bush. It is bold, modern, Lebombo's chic, crisp design is offset by its spectacular, exposed location and open, lofty spaces.Like the Lebombo Euphorbia tree after which it was named, the design of Lebombo Lodge is one of a kind. From the sweeping wooden decks, you can watch the theatre that unfolds before you, while the lap pool beckons to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The fifteen suites feature contemporary finishes with beds dressed with Egyptian cotton and silky-soft throws. Enjoy dinner in the boma, then spend the evening, if you so wish, sleeping under the stars on the bed of your private terrace.

Sweni Lodge exudes a sense of intimacy and seclusion in the dappled shade on the banks of the Sweni River. Sweni is soft and intimate, the small and cozy yet modern lodge is cocooned in tranquility and nestled on the banks of the Sweni River. Sweni Lodge was influenced by the structures of dens, warrens and lairs found in the area. Flanking the Sweni River, this tranquil sanctuary is elevated on stilts with decks of timber. Even when you’re indoors, you’ll have the sensation of being close to the river and trees.

The six secluded suites, with tactile furnishings, have been carefully created to bring in the textures and shades of the bush. Designed with open-plan living in mind, your suite flows from the bathroom area, through to the lounge and into the bedroom – yet if you wish, each area may be sealed off by curtains. Try the outdoor shower overlooking the river or – for a magical experience – ‘camp out’ under the stars on the day bed out on your viewing deck.
