The owner and staff were so nice. Their care and hospitality went above and beyond. The meals were exemplary, I loved every dinner we had. Everyone sat at one large table, very social and just made for a nice evening.

Es war einfach wunderschön. Ich war während der starken Regenfälle dort, zunächst hatte ich Angst überhaupt zu fahren, aber ich bin sehr froh, dass ich es doch gemacht habe. Auch ohne den Kruger Nationalpark ist die Needles Lodge eine Reise Wert und absolut zu empfehlen. Besonders das gemeinsame Abendessen war etwas ganz besonderes. Ich hoffe, dass ich irgendwann wiederkommen kann. Als alleinreisende habe ich mich total wohl gefühlt.
