St John's at 24 Rivers is just one of the places to see in Vaalwater, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? While you're in the area, wander around the parks.
The Clifftop is like walking into heaven. The staff are amazing and the views are incredible. The food was great as well.
Greg was our guide and he is the best. Absolutely worth the 4:30 wake up call. We saw some incredible sites including a cheetah chase, elephants having a bath and escaping a crocodile, lion cubs playing with their Dad, a leopard, the list goes on.
It was an unforgettable experience and I want to go back already.

The resort is fantastic, the unit was clean, comfortable and well maintained. All the staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The restaurant food was excellent and we cannot recommend your resort enough. Thank you for a fabulous few days.

The tents were stunning, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. Always felt safe, and spotted so many animals on the game drives. Would recommend!
