Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.2
 

Clifftop Exclusive Safari Lodge, an exquisite bushveld retreat in the malaria-free Welgevonden Game Reserve, blends understated elegance with breathtaking African vistas. Perched above the Sterkstroom River, it offers a serene escape in the Waterberg Mountains.

Each of the eight luxurious suites features air-conditioning, private decks with plunge pools, thatched salas, and indoor and outdoor lounges, complemented by en-suite bathrooms with separate bathtubs, indoor and outdoor showers, and premium bath consumables. Thoughtful amenities include direct-dial telephones, hairdryers, hotel stationery, minibars, room safes, electric blankets, and tea-and-coffee facilities, ensuring a refined and comfortable stay in a non-smoking environment.

The elegant dining room presents a gourmet menu of diverse dishes, paired with a curated selection of exclusive wines, with the option to dine on the scenic outdoor deck overlooking the canyon. Private Wine Cellar dinners and special dietary requirements, including Halaal and Kosher, are accommodated by prior arrangement. Two daily safaris in open vehicles, included in the rates, immerse guests in the 'Big 5' and the 36,000-hectare reserve's pristine wilderness.

During warmer months, the sparkling pool offers a refreshing retreat, while a cosy lounge with a fireplace provides warmth in winter. Gate entry fees apply per person per night. Situated 360 km from Johannesburg, Clifftop Exclusive Safari Lodge delivers an unparalleled fusion of sophisticated service and the untamed beauty of the Waterberg Mountains.
