Singita Sweni Lodge, Kruger National Park, South Africa

Seven suites, which is what gives Sweni its sense of exclusivity. It is tucked into riverine forest and cocooned by leaves, overlooking the river, with running water, birds and hippo as a more or less constant soundtrack. It suits people who want intimacy over scale.

Guests are likely to see a wide range, including elephant, leopard, famously large prides of lion, white rhino, black rhino, buffalo, hippopotamus, cheetah and sable. The riverine setting means much of it comes to the water in front of the lodge.

Children of all ages are welcome at Sweni. Rates cover accommodation, all meals and beverages including premium wines, spirits and liqueurs, twice-daily game drives in open vehicles, walking safaris with experienced guides and trackers, return road transfers between Satara airstrip and the lodge, laundry and WiFi where applicable.
