Clifftop Lodge

is an exquisite five-star bushveld hideaway, a unique resort, where service is understood and luxury is elegantly understated. The setting is breathtaking and provides a beautiful, african backdrop for a world of easygoing elegance.
Situated a mere 2 hours drive from Johannesburg, the Waterberg Mountains are acclaimed by South African Tourism as South Africas hottest bush destination a glorious malaria-free district. The Waterberg Biospheres approach to both conservation and community upliftment recently led to its recognition by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).

Within this conservation area is the privately owned game reserve Welgevonden. The result of a pioneering project begun in 1987 to return farmland to its original wild state, Welgevonden has grown to become one of South Africas premier privately held reserves. Ambitious game relocation efforts and careful ecological management have resulted in a reserve today that is home to the Lion, Leopard, Elephant, White Rhino, Cheetah, Wild Dog, Brown Hyena, 15 different types of buck, and 30 other species of mammal.

The Welgevonden bird checklist currently exceeds 280 birds and is increasing steadily. Welgevonden is currently in the process of dropping its fences with the neighbouring Marakele National Park and a neighbouring private reserve which will allow free traversing of game ultimately across approximately 150 000 hectares.

Perched on a cliff overlooking the Sterkstroom River, one of the watercourses that give the Waterberg its name, Clifftop Lodge was designed by one of South Africas leading architects to be eco-friendly, both in its aesthetics and in its impact. The result is a truly breathtaking lodge that offers the seclusion of the African bush, yet with the small luxuries that make for a relaxing and invigorating game experience.
Awash with the sounds of the Sterkstroom River flowing below, each of the 8 luxury suites is en suite, with both indoor and outdoor showers.

Each room has its own private deck and plunge pool affording our guests the opportunity to watch game in the river valley and the opposing cliff face while basking in the privacy of their secluded suites
