About Sweni Viewpoint

Sweni Viewpoint overlooks the Sweni River and the open thorn-tree savanna surrounding it in central Kruger. The river and surrounding plains draw large concentrations of game at certain times of year, which in turn makes this a productive area for predators. The combination of open country, water and abundant wildlife makes Sweni one of the more rewarding viewing spots in this part of the park.
