Posted on Tue April 28, 2015.

There are few more romantic and exciting locations in the world like the African Bush. This unspoilt, wild and natural place is one where exotic wild animals roam, and it is also one where you can spend a superb family holiday at affordable rates. South Africa may be home to some stunning cities, but it is also the place to go to experience the bush, and in particular you should try Needles Lodge, located with a wonderful game conservancy adjacent to the magnificent Kruger National Park. This wonderful four star lodge is the perfect accommodation for families or couples, and offers a unique range of options.

Day trips into the Kruger Park provide an opportunity to spot the safari Big Five – elephants, lions and leopards, buffalo and even rhino – plus perhaps hippo and crocodiles in the river, while you can also take the opportunity to watch tribal dancing in Swaziland, or take in the local markets in beautiful Mozambique. In the evening, return to Needles Lodge to be served a three course dinner by your host, Denis, and his team, and perhaps spend the evening on the deck watching the animals.

A full breakfast is served every morning, and lunch can be arranged, while each of the six fantastic suites includes air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, full amenities and a fully stocked bar – perfect for that evening drink on the deck under the starry African night sky. Needles Lodge offers a genuine opportunity to enjoy a truly exciting African bush holiday, and with the stunning amenities at the lodge, at genuinely affordable prices, and there are few better places to take advantage of the many beautiful sights and sounds that this unspoilt slice of the African Bush has to offer.
