Mount Sheba Cottages Has It All
Mount Sheba offers 14 different walks through the indigenous forest, up mountains to the lookout points and into deep valleys with crystal clear waterfalls and meandering streams.
Mount Sheba is situated in a declared nature reserve and promises to enchant nature lovers. Enjoy breath-taking walks with abundant birdlife including seldom-seen birds (such as the Knysna Lourie, Narina Trogon, Mountain wagtail and the majestic Verraux eagle), protected samango monkeys, and crystal-clear streams and waterfalls. Lookout points among rocky outcrops resembling the ruins of an ancient city provide for magnificent views of the surrounding landscape, while the dense, pristine rainforest offers botanists many hours of exploration. A variety of indigenous plants, trees, birds and animals are found. (See our bird list here and tree list here)
