Tripadvisor comments Singita Sweni Lodge

The whole team was absolutely fantastic, smiles and attention to detail all over. The food was WOW - being a vegan & vegetarian & pescatarian family - it can be very challenging however the team faced it with such a professional level.

My wife and I just visited this lodge as part of our South African safari. We had a wonderful time. The people were great: friendly, attentive and warm. The facilities are top notch as is the food. The setting on the river makes for interesting viewing.
