Until recently the chance to take a safari in Africa was one open to only a privileged few, but the advent of affordable air travel has opened this wonderful continent to all. A safari holiday in the bush still remains a very special experience, but it is now a viable family holiday. The main concern could be deciding where to go, and we can happily recommend Needles Lodge, a stunning choice of accommodation located in Marloth Park, a private nature sanctuary in South Africa, and somewhere you really can experience the delights of the bush.

Marloth Park is a place that combines superb accommodation where you can relax with a drink and let the world go by, with the sights, sounds and adventure of the real Africa, the bush, the place where wild is still the word. Within the park you will find exotic animals such as zebra, impala and giraffes strolling through as naturally as can be, and you can watch them from the comfort of your room or from the specially positioned hide. You will also enjoy a full menu of meals cooked on site, and guaranteed to be delicious.

Whether you choose to spend your time relaxing at Needles Lodge or take any of the day trips on offer it’s up to you: you could take a safari on the spectacular Kruger National Park, a day trip to beautiful Mozambique, or one to neighbouring Swaziland where the traditions of old Africa can still be experienced.
