Clifftop Exclusive Safari Hideaway
Perched along a breathtaking cliff's edge overlooking the Sterkstroom River, Clifftop Exclusive Safari Hideaway brings you to the precipice of where tranquil waters meet dramatic, untamed African landscapes. Located just a few hours’ drive from Johannesburg, this malaria-free reserve is popular among luxury safari enthusiasts while remaining one of Limpopo’s hidden gems.
Clifftop offers expert field guides and 4×4 open-vehicle game drives with set summer and winter safari times, ensuring you make the most of your game-viewing experience. A rich aroma of coffee invigorates your senses as you enjoy a homemade rusk in anticipation of your morning safari. As the sun rises and the bushveld awakens, you'll journey deeper into this rugged terrain to spot unusual indigenous species, including the elusive aardwolf and aardvark.
Enjoy afternoon siestas and indulgent massages, followed by a delicious lunch on the restaurant's deck, overlooking tranquil views of a lush escarpment. Your sundowner safari promises close encounters with Big Five wildlife and a variety of bird species.
As an intimate couples’ retreat, the lodge offers cosy nooks for relaxation and romantic fine-dining experiences, all set within a secluded corner of Welgevonden Game Reserve. A set seasonal safari schedule ensures the best game viewing opportunities.

The suites at Clifftop offer sleek, modern designs with A-frame thatched roofs and open-plan layouts, creating a private haven of luxury. A king-sized bed, replete with electric blankets and positioned beneath an air-conditioning unit, ensures the most comfortable night’s sleep.
Each suite features both indoor and outdoor showers, with one suite offering a free-standing bath framed by glass doors. After a soothing soak in the tub, slip into a fluffy nightgown and retreat to your outdoor lounge, where you can sip a glass of wine while marvelling at the majestic views of the gorge. A plunge pool beckons for an afternoon swim, while the chaise lounge and hanging chair invite you to catch a quick tan or sink your teeth into a new book.
Perfectly secluded, each suite is perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ever-flowing Sterkstroom River. Here, you can meditate on the gentle murmur of water flowing through the gorge as you sip your morning coffee.
Clifftop has an expansive wine cellar, so be sure to book a wine-tasting experience and savour a variety of full-bodied reds and crisp whites. No trip is complete without an aromatherapy massage—a specialist therapist is ready to relieve your aching muscles on your private balcony as you doze off to the blissful sounds of birds chirping nearby. The main lodge boasts an infinity pool, offering a not-to-be-missed swimming experience or the perfect setting for a quick photoshoot.
A vista deck, complete with an outdoor fireplace and hanging chairs, is the ideal place to recount the day’s adventures with fellow guests. If you prefer something cosier, retreat to the indoor lounge and sink into the couch as you warm yourself by the fireplace. Stop by the bar for a nightcap before enjoying a short stroll back to your private quarters.
Limited Wi-Fi is available in the main lodge areas, inviting you to switch off from the outside world and reconnect with nature.
