The Kruger National Park is one of South Africa’s most famous, and also one of the most spectacular of all. Occupying a vast, wild and wonderful area of the African bush, a safari in the Kruger is considered one of the most exciting of all, and offers the chance to view some of the most exotic and endangered animals in Africa in the wild. Nearby Needles Lodge is a fantastic place to stay if you want to take either a driving safari or a guided safari through the Kruger, the latter of which comes highly recommended by those who have taken the opportunity.
Needles Lodge is a superb example of traditional accommodation with full facilities; you will stay in a wonderfully finished lodge with all necessary facilities in your room, a pool is available for cooling down when the weather gets too warm, and a fully licensed bar is the perfect place to relax. You can dine outside on the deck enjoying a meal of luscious seafood or fabulous beef steaks, all cooked in the lodge restaurant by local chefs, and then while away the evening watching the animals wander through the park.
For the main safari event you need to visit the Kruger; we can arrange a safari with qualified rangers who will take you to places where you stand a real chance of watching the famous ‘Big Five’ in their natural habitat: elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo and the rare and magnificent rhinoceros all live in the National Park, and nowhere else will your odds of ticking them off your list be greater. This really is a stunning place to visit with much to do, and Needles Lodge is the place to stay for the up close and personal experience, so get in touch now and we’ll be happy to help you with the details.
