A winter safari in Kruger National Park provides unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities and comfortable conditions, thanks to scarce water drawing animals to predictable spots, a mild climate, and fewer tourists. The season's unique charm, from May to September, promises a memorable experience with the natural world. This adventure is ideal for those seeking intimate encounters with Africa's diverse wildlife in a serene, picturesque setting.
You deserve to give back to yourself and your loved ones. You deserve to reconnect. And what better way to do so than at an affordable four-star lodge in the African bush. Warthogs, giraffe, zebra, kudu, wildebeest and impala wander around Needles Lodge. As you get up close and personal with them, you will experience their lives – and the heart of the African bush. At this warm, owner-run lodge, your comfort, your experience, and your needs are our top priority.

Third visit to Needles
Been to the needles for the third time. This time 6 nights. You can really relax and everyone is very nice. The food is fantastic and prepared by Thobila. You eat together with all the guests so that you can also chat with people about their experiences. We had a full day in Kruger Park with Willem. It is recommended for everyone to book the game drives in advance.... Read this review

Beter kan het echt niet worden.
Hier moet je geweest zijn om te begrijpen en te voelen hoe het is om in deze geweldige lodge te verblijven. Heerlijk (top kokkies!) en gezellig gegeten aan de lange buitentafel. Aanschuiven maar en elkaar vertellen over je ervaringen en te luisteren naar Dennis en zijn team die je van alles kunnen vertellen over het land en de geschiedenis. De game drive met ranger William om nooit te vergeten.... Read this review
