Our 4th time in South Africa and another great experience!

We stayed 17 nights at Needles lodge and can summarize it in one word FANTASTIC. The family atmosphere of both the owners and all the staff makes you feel so welcome here. Nothing is too much to ask here, everyone is very helpful. Our thanks to the entire team at Needles lodge and see you next year because yes, we will return to Needles lodge next year and again for at least 17 nights. Our thanks to the entire team for the fantastic holiday and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Familie De Wilde

What a magic experience at Needles!

What a magic experience at Needles! Greeted daily by zebras, kudus, warthogs and giraffes from the deck. Warm friendly staff, wonderful food and comfortable and clean rooms. Thanks Lyn and Phil for your hospitality.

Best accommodation for visiting Kruger

Best accommodation for visiting Kruger and superb customer service. Award winning!! Food is top quality, rooms are clean and spacious and wildlife is abundant. Large kudus, impalas and antelope were walking around the perimeter of the lodge. The safaris are coordinated by Needles and only the best guides are chosen. Every comfort item is included and when you head out for safaris even warm ponchos are provided. I can’t wait to return. Got to see leopards, sable antelope, herds of elephant, wildebeest, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, lions, impalas, babboons, mongoose, kudus, vultures and Cape buffalo. Awesome!!

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. You won't regret it! Take the morning walk. That's an adventure! We will 100% come back for the fourth time. Needles, thank you and see you soon.

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. Beter kan het echt niet worden.

A 4-star place with 5-star service at 3-star prices. Alta & Gary are more like family than hosts, and provide a wonderful experience at a beautiful lodge. Will definitely send friends here!
