Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff

Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff Johannesburg rests high up on the rocky Witwatersrand (‘ridge of white waters’ in Afrikaans), a 56-kilometre-long, north-facing scarp in the middle of the city. The Westcliff is made up of nine villas, creating a space more like a hillside village than a traditional hotel, with luxurious decorations and modern amenities. Guests can enjoy relaxing on the terrace, sipping sundowners and admiring the fountains and gardens. Delicious meals can be savoured at Flames, and travellers can take a quiet rest at the hotel’s rejuvenating spa between exciting trips around the vibrant city.

Protecting Africa's Wildlife

Four Seasons supports a number of wildlife conservation projects set up to help protect the wildlife of the Serengeti Region. Through supporting the Rhino Conservation Project and Frankfurt Zoological Society’s Serengeti De-Snaring Project, Four Seasons is helping to prevent poaching and the further decline of these amazing creatures. By helping efforts to monitor and research these at-risk animals, Four Seasons is aiding the recovery of rhino populations.

‘In 2020, $14,000 was donated to these wildlife conservation projects to ensure the critical work continued at a time where funding was under threat from a severe reduction in travel.’

Supporting Vulnerable Children

In 2020, Safari Lodge Serengeti donated $9,000 to help more than 700 young girls who needed to stay at the Discovery Centre Fund Safe House in Mugumu which helps to protect young girls and women at risk of female genital mutilation.

Commitment to an Ethical Culture

Taking a stand against bribery and corruption, Four Seasons is dedicated to carrying out its business in a way that complies with the highest ethical standard.

‘Four Seasons is committed to understanding the risks that may compromise these standards and using all reasonable efforts to ensure that those who provide services to and for Four Seasons – including employees, contractors and agents – are aware of and share our commitment to an ethical and anti-bribery culture.’
