Singwe River Lodge

 
 

Description

This magnificent property situated within a 40,000 ha Balule Reserve in the Greater Kruger National Park is built on the banks of the Olifants River, which provides many opportunities for game viewing even while in camp, watch families of elephants who have come down to bathe, lazy hippos surfacing for a yawn, a skittish herd of impala drinking nervously and listen for the cry of a fish eagle.

At Singwe River Lodge we provide a memorable and affordable Big Five game experience in a low-risk malaria area, with excellent accommodation, delicious food and warm African hospitality. Shaded by giant fig trees, the beautiful, tranquil camp has accommodation for up to 12 adults in a Manor House and thatched riverside chalets, a large swimming pool and rolling lawns, which extend down to the banks of the river.  If the weather permits, dinner is served in the African Boma under the night sky around a campfire. Alternatively it is served in the restaurant.

Children are welcome and a child minding service is available if parents wish to dine alone or go on a game drive.

Singwe is easily accessed with daily flights from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban to three international airports close by. The nearest, East Gate International Airport at Hoedspruit, is about 37 km from Singwe. We provide road transfers from the airports to the lodge at an extra charge on request.

Check-In  02:00 PM   Check-Out 11:00 AM

Location: Perfect location on the banks of the river where one can get away from it all, especially those who wish to escape from the bustling city life.

African Safari: We are a Safari Lodge offering one of the closest and most beautiful settings on the banks of the Olifants River. We have regular sightings of the Big 5, even while our guests are lazing at the poolside.

Wellness & Spa: Spa treatments can be arranged on the banks of the river or in your room.

Family: Our lodge has an electric fence right around the main camp - allowing guests with children peace of mind to know that children are safe, We are happy to cater child friendly meals.

Great Outdoors: We offer game drives viewing Big 5, general game and bird life. We have a prolific bird life on the waters edge as well as through out the reserve.

Honeymoon Romance: Honeymooners are specially treated, with private romantic candlelit dinners, complimentary champagne and fruit in the room on arrival as well as a honeymoon turndown in the evenings complete with candles.

Wedding Venues: Perfect wedding venue for a small intimate bush wedding. Weddings can be arranged on the lawns, under the trees on the banks of the river.

Conference venue: A perfect venue for a small conference of less than 25 people. Ideal for top management and small groups of team-building.

Outstanding Views: We offer outstanding views of the Olifants River where our guests can often view game right from their rooms or our swimming pool.

Relaxation: Relax at the poolside, enjoying the sunshine and perhaps a herd of elephants may surprise you whilst drinking or bathing in the river. Enjoy our fireside dinners in our African Boma's. Star watching is also spectacular.

Fantastic
Emma Griffith, South Africa
23 August 2011
Had a fantastic two-night stay for our small wedding party. Great location (except dodgy road getting there). Staff were super, rooms were lovely, food was great. Would definitely recommend it to friends!
Super location once you get there

Super location and host, excellent food, however if you do not have a vehicle of 4WD proportions access can be an adventure in itself! The last 2 km is a track which can test your driving skills, but great fun nevertheless. Rooms were warm and comfortable with wonderful showers. The game drive the next day for us was really exciting with an 11 lion pride to follow! Honest!! We would go again.
Great stay
Frederic Chapuis, South Africa
06 April 2010
Four wonderful days, with close encounters with four of the big 5 , including the biggest leopard ever seen ! The lodge is very comfortable, good diners have been taken at the boma around the fire. In between game drives, we appreciated the relaxing atmosphere around the pool while enjoying the view of the river and its crocs.
