Red Cliff Lodge offers comfortable self-catering accommodation in a countryside cabin, situated on a farm outside Bokkraal in the Groot Marico District, North West Province. The region was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2018 and every effort is made to retain the environment and associated ecology. The cabin has been built in such to way create a private 'cabin in the woods' feel. It is completely private and secluded for those who want to really get away to rest and recharge. The valley is surrounded by red cliffs which glow a deep red in the afternoon sun, and are quite a spectacle. The cabin comprises 2 bedrooms and can accommodate up to 5 guests. The windows have been fitted with mosquito screens and there are fitted burglar bars to ensure supplies are not raided by resident baboons and monkeys. The cabin is completely off the grid in line with the Biosphere Reserve's environmental objectives to reduce the carbon footprint and, operates off gas and solar so no microwave, TV, hairdryers or toasters. The first bedroom contains a double bed and the second bedroom has a tri-bunk bed. Both bath and shower facilities are available. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge and an oven and stove. Guests have access to braai facilities and secure parking. STRICTLY NO PETS Splash tub to cool down in. Loungers and hammocks to relax.

I just love meeting new and interesting people. It is such an honor and privilege for me to share our little piece of heaven with guests. It is vitally important to me that guests feel that they are free to ask for anything during their stay and we endeavor to meet any needs. I am extremely passionate about nature and the environment and love taking guests on guided hikes as well as sharing some of the history of the area - of which there is a definite richness. Practically all of my guests leave here feeling rejuvenated and recharged and ready to face whatever challenges they may have.

Nestled in the heart of one of the most pristine areas in South Africa, lies the Marico Biosphere Reserve which comprises some of the most unspoiled and in parts untouched land in South Africa. One minute you will experience bushveld the next savannah and then wetlands which are situated along streams and the Marico river which flows into the Marico Bosveld Dam. Our family owned bush camp and eco lodge, is intimately located in the heart of the Marico district which is well known for its crystal clear rivers – arguably some of the cleanest water in South Africa. The Marico Biosphere Reserve (Marico BR), in the North West Province was designated by UNESCO in 2018. It covers an area in excess of 447,000 ha. The Marico Protected Environment was declared in 2016 in terms of the Protected Areas Act and is mainly situated along the head waters of the Marico River. The Marico BR is located on huge dolomitic aquifers i.e. underground lakes, and boasts a number of “Eyes”, of which the most famous is the “Marico Eye”, which is frequented by divers. The region is also known as the home of Herman Charles Bosman, and is most notably famous for its traditional alcohol – “Mampoer” that is brewed. Steeped in history across many cultures that is documented since the early 1800’s, it is well worth visiting.
