The Perfect Place to Enjoy the African Bush – Needles Lodge

Posted on Thu July 9, 2015.

Imagine a comfortable lodge where you are waited on by friendly staff, can enjoy superb meals and the use of a full range of facilities. Then imagine it is right in the middle of the amazing and mysterious African bush, with wild animals wandering past up close, and the many sights and sounds of this unique region with you all the time. It may sound like an impossible dream, but in fact it’s what you can enjoy at the spectacular Needles Lodge, a stunning four star lodge in Marloth Park, a private nature sanctuary in South Africa.

The accommodation itself is superb, with beautifully decorated suites including air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms and fabulous views, and children are welcome at this exciting and invigorating place. The lodge offers the use of a superb central living area where you can enjoy drinks from a fully stocked bar, watch cable TV or make use of the entertainment centre and library, plus a dining room with the option to eat outdoors. A full South Africa breakfast is part of the package, as is a three course dinner each day.

This is a place like no other, one where you will see giraffes and zebras – among other animals – wander past the lodge, and if you want to see more there is always the option of a safari trip to the nearby Kruger National Park, one of the best in the world. You could also take a day trip to Maputo, the charming capital city of neighbouring Mozambique, or Swaziland, a country with a rich culture that is still evident in the many untouched buildings. Needles Lodge is Africa at its best, a combination of comfort and the wilds of the bush, so what are you waiting for? Get in touch and book now!
