OVERVIEW

Sweni is a lodge with a twist: while the surroundings are untouched riverine forest dating back centuries, the inside harks back to the sleek designs and offbeat colours of the mid-century modern movement that includes organic shapes and natural textures. Lying on the eponymous Sweni River, this is an ideal spot for stylish Big 5 safari with yoga and wine tasting on tap.

Each of the suites has a private sleepout on the deck, meaning you can choose to drift off the faraway calls of hyena or elephant trumpet. A two-bedroom villa is perfect for families with a private pool, guide and game-drive vehicle as well as a professional babysitting service. Sweni balances simplicity with indulgence in the most rejuvenating way possible…
