Magical Mount Sheba Family Getaway

After three years away, it was such a joy to return to one of our family’s most special places – where we got married in the truly magical forest of Mount Sheba, perched high above Pilgrim’s Rest.

Always such a treat for the family & our souls, soaking in the vibrant forest energy, bird calls, and sounds of the waterfalls, while hiking the varied lush forest trails.

This time we were treated to the best morning shows ever by the local Samango monkeys, while they fed, played, and groomed each other in the bush, just on the edge of our lodge!

Up close with the rare South African Samango monkeys!

Evenings were just as magical – a glass of wine by the crackling fireside while the hotel took wonderful care of us with hearty, delicious 3-course meals to end the day. What better way to end the day..

Exquisite wine pairings featuring the Dry Land Collection's 2021 Joseph's Legacy and Nederburg's Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, complemented by a rich soup, fine steak and a decadent chocolate dessert
