Description
The Lebombo Concession represents one of the few remaining unexplored territories of this celebrated wildlife sanctuary. The Lebombo mountain range runs diagonally across the expanse, interlaced by the N’wanetsi and Sweni Rivers. The area has a good density of game, including cats, elephants, abundant antelope and birdlife and an incredible diversity of smaller animals.
Singita Lebombo has been built to create the ultimate ’wow factor’, raised high above the river using light tones and open spaces. The 15 luxurious suites are constructed almost entirely of glass for a dramatic effect with vast living spaces, balconies with stunning river views and bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and both indoor and outdoor showers. Sweni’s six suites are more intimately located on the river bank using earthy tones and blending into the surrounding forest.
Indulge in the luxurious health spa offering everything from the more conventional European massages to Ayurveda and acupuncture, reflexology and aromatherapy. For those who enjoy food and wine, Singita is also a unique culinary experience and has a comprehensive wine cellar. Your skilled sommelier will happily match wines to a tasting menu for you.

Facilities
Facilities at both Lebombo and Sweni feature swimming pools, elegant viewing decks, cosy seating areas and a luxurious spa. Singita's outstanding cuisine is inspired by African ingredients and flavours combined with Western culinary tradition. Complementing the sophisticated menu is an exceptional wine cellar. There is also a curio shop and wi-fi available.
Activities
Swimming, game drives, night drives and birdwatching are all complimentary at the lodge. The Lebombo area is home to one of the highest concentrations of lion in the Kruger Park supported by an abundance of plains game (including giraffe, zebra, and various species of antelope). Hippos and crocodiles thrive in the Sweni and Nwanetsi Rivers, whose riverine habitat provides perfect cover for leopards. Elephant, rhino, and buffalo are also present in high concentrations and move freely throughout the Kruger eco-system.
