At Needles Safari Lodge, we believe that tourism should make a positive difference – for people, for communities, and for the environment. As a proud South African business, we are committed to ensuring that every guest experience contributes to the long-term wellbeing of our region.
By choosing Needles Safari Lodge, you are helping to protect nature, support people, and promote Fair Trade Tourism.
We are dedicated to operating in line with the principles of Responsible and Fair Trade Tourism, generating meaningful social, cultural, economic, and environmental benefits.
Social Responsibility - We provide fair and safe working conditions, support the training and growth of our staff, and invest in local community initiatives in Marloth Park and the surrounding areas.
We celebrate South Africa’s heritage by showcasing local traditions, food, and stories, while encouraging our guests to experience culture in an authentic and respectful way.
We prioritise buying from local suppliers, support small and family-run businesses, and create sustainable employment opportunities that benefit the local economy.
We operate with eco-conscious practices, including energy and water conservation, effective waste management, and wildlife-friendly operations to minimise our impact in the fragile Kruger ecosystem.
Our commitment is not only shared with our guests but is also publicly available to partners, agents, and the wider community. We invite accountability and ongoing dialogue as part of our journey towards responsible tourism.
