Superb Accommodation and Plenty to do at Needles Lodge

Posted on Tue September 15, 2015.

The beautiful surroundings of Marloth Park, a private nature sanctuary that is the home of Needles Lodge, are typical of the stunning African bush, an environment that cannot be replicated anywhere else on earth. This amazing luxury lodge, with its superbly furnished rooms and wonderful facilities, is second to none when it comes to bush accommodation, and here you will experience African accommodation that will have you wishing you could stay longer. Whether you want to simply relax in the peace and tranquillity of the lodge or enjoy the exciting options we can arrange for you is up to you, but you really should not miss a safari!

Needles Lodge is on the very edge of the magnificent Kruger National Park; this is a place where a guided safari tour can take you to see the likes of leopards and lions, elephants and buffalo, and even the chance to find a rare, endangered rhinoceros in its natural habitat. Nothing beats viewing these amazing beasts in the wild. Back at the lodge you will find giraffe, zebra and warthogs wander freely through the park – among other animals and birds – and you can watch them from the comfort of your room or from the lodge building.

The Lodge is fully equipped with all the amenities you need for an enjoyable stay, and you will be party to the very highest standards of hospitality. Meals – stunning seafood sourced fresh from nearby Mozambique or wonderful braai for a traditional South African choice – are cooked in the lodge restaurants and served in either the covered or open area, and the fully licensed bar offers a range of drinks for you to relax with by the pool. Needles Lodge really is a place where time seems to slow down, and is one that will give you an experience of Africa you will never forget.
