Singita was the highlight of our honeymoon. I ran out of superlatives to use to describe it because everything is completely perfect there. It has to be the absolute pinnacle of travel experience, or if I'm wrong please tell me what is better and I will book a trip immediately! The service quality is unreal, the manager Angelique in particular,... More

My wife and I spent two nights at Singita Sweni. This was our first safari, our first time in Africa, and our honeymoon - and we wanted it to be amazing. It was. Built to embrace the landscape of the Kruger, the lodge is simply stunning, throw in the candle light dinners, the star lit skies, the great food, the... More

The staff are amazingly friendly and attentive. They cater to every need and are so happy and willing to go the extra mile. They really care. By the... More

We stayed for 3 nights as a family. It's not the great big 5 in a day type game viewing you get in the Sabi Sands, but we did walks, sundowners, and had an all round fabulous time. The staff here are what sets it apart, from the easy rapport between tracker and ranger, to the fabulously understated but super... More

Thanks Singita and all the staff for giving us another amazing experience, we have stayed in boulders in the past. Both offer a different experience with everything. To Sarah,Irene, Ronny and Daniel and then to Nick and Lawrence for the safari experience of a life time. We did seven drives in a three night stay and every drive was exciting... More

We spent only 2 nights at Singita Sweni Lodge and wished we could have stayed longer. All the stunning suites have amazing views of the Sweni River and you can hear the hippos at night. The food was fantastic and served with a smile by our friendly server 'Trust'. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff who really... More

Everything was over the top, excellent rooms, great staff, food, game watching (we saw the big 5 in only 3 risings) huge wine cellar to pair with the food. 100 % is a must go if you are heading there for a dream vacation.

We arrived in Nelspruit by a small plane that held our family of 10 landing on a grass airstrip. We were met by staff from the Singita Sweni lodge and were offered drinks before our van trip to the lodge. Along the way our guide stopped numerous times to slow us to view numerous animals. The lodge itself is understated... More

Amazing spot on the river. The lodge is elegant and refined. A quieter spot for the traveler seeking some solitude. Spectacular service as expected from Singita. What a place. Anyone who didn't give this full score obviously didn't go.
