Perfect setting, Our 3rd time back at this lodge, Staff really friendly and the gamedrives were spectacular.Perfect location.

Food was not up to standard initially. Cold food was served (although it was in the middle of the winter, but not nice getting served cold soup and vegetables. Also no hot /warm desert was on offer as an option ...only fruits and sorbets(it's winter so come-on). We addressed the issue with management and the new managers of the lodge, Steven and Gilda, who only took over a week before, really took our complaints to heart and henceforth the food was served on warm plates, with delicious options. The lodge will do well with them as managers, as their commitment and passion shone through.

We were so warmly welcomed by The managers Gilda & Steve, pampered from the moment we entered. Private dedicated butlers morning/ afternoon/ evening. Gorgeous fine dining. Private picnics. Drinks flowing. It’s such an exclusive place filled with love and inclusivity. We had 2 private lodges to soak in the ambience at our own pace. Everything was bespoke and tailored. A real happy place. A must visit. Our Game Tour guide, @jaundre_wildphotography was the best, taking us on 5 game drives during our stay, always going above and beyond for us to see the Big 5. A real gem. Touching distance from the animals. This is by the far best place to see wild Africa in its most natural and unspoilt state. A bonus astronomy microteach on the helipad by Steven was superb. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

The bifold doors in the room let in a draught at night.

From the moment you arrive, the service is just exceptional. Steve and Gilda are absolute gems and gave us a lovely warm welcome. Chantal was absolutely amazing and made sure we were well taken care of the entire weekend. The rooms are very spacious with so many seating places to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. From flowing drinks the entire weekend from our butlers to delicious meals prepared throughout the day and thanks to Tyrone for the lovely game drives where we got to see Lions ,lots of Rhino’s and other game, he is really passionate about his work and very entertaining. Clifftop is definitely a must visit, I cannot wait to go back again. Thank you to everyone at Clifftop for making our weekend so memorable.

Absolutely every detail is taken care of. Luxury in a breath taking environment. Delicious food prepared with love by a dedicated chef. Wonderful selection of South African wines included. The rooms even have the special coffee maker with pods..such an unexpected detail. The staff are exceptionally friendly and highly trained..from the game guide to the personal butler. We would highly recommend this venue and hope to return for a visit in the very near future.

We liked and appreciated everything.

We had the most friendly and efficient butler, Sello, went the extra mile to ensure we had a memorable stay. Tyrone, our safari guide, is fantastic at his job, has great hosting skills, and guarantees a good laugh. We stayed by number 1, the views are out of this world, and we had the swing as an added

The place is beautiful. However, they need to do touch ups to the property, repainting is needed on the walls... so a bit of maintenance work is a MUST. The food didn't meet up to the 5 star level, very disappointing.

The location and views are simply fantastic and service from Patric was just exceptional. Btw book unit 1 if you want the swing chair!!

I think the food at lodge could do with some improvement, very fancy named soups but it all seemed like was just "trying too hard", also not sure a mince and coleslaw between a bun made a great sloppy joe. I think the water system is from a septic tank so shower was fine but bath would not be as clear.

An absolutely beautiful lodge set, as the name suggests, on a clifftop with the most beautiful view, and overlooking a river. The food was delicious, our game ranger knowledgeable and friendly. The other staff, from the cleaners to the waiters to the chef, were exceptional, friendly, and so welcoming. The lodge arranged a special dinner for us on the night of our wedding anniversary, which was wonderful and so appreciated.

Everything was exceptional. No complaints at all.

The most amazing safari experience you could ever imagine. This amazing reserve comes the closest to hold a perfectly natural balance between all types of indigenous plants and animals. Every game drive in this reserve is different because of all the landscapes present and looking for the animals truly feels adventurous. The ranger had a very broad knowledge of all flora and fauna in the reserve. The staff overall is amazing and each and everyone is continuously making the stay exceptional and personal. The views over the valley were phenomenal and elephants can be seen walking by. You get spoiled numerous times a day with snacks, a la carte meals and good wines. Including during each game drive. Safety is extremely high and the staff will look after you all day long making sure everything is safe and unwanted encounters (e.g. baboons, elephants, etc) during the walk back to your room are avoided at all times.

The rooms are very well equipped with a nice spacious outside section that includes an outdoor shower, private plunge pool, space to sunbathe and also a seated area overlooking the valley. There is a Nespresso machine in the room as well as a milk frother. Lots of little touches like the staff waving you in, little book marks on your bed at night with stories and great turndown service makes this lodge stand out.

This is a lovely place to stay but there are a few things I’d suggest they do that would make such a difference as a guest. The first being a good coffee machine with a barista to make flat whites ☕️ The second would be to relook at some of the meals. We found the food wasn’t consistent: some meals were delicious and some were quiet average; which is saddening considering this is an easy fix at a 5 star lodge.

The location was good. The room was nice, comfortable enough and well-appointed, although it does need some maintenance. The food was mostly good.

Some of the staff need an update on their sense of humour and how maturely they interact with guests. Our butler was great; our game ranger wasn't great. Some lessons in deportment and decorum will serve management well.
