Sleepily tucked away amongst the mountains, above the historic mining town of Pilgrims Rest, is Mount Sheba - the ideal Mpumalanga getaway. The thatched hotel is surrounded by indigenous forests with various recommended walking trails - all well signposted. Many of the trees have been numbered for identification.

Alternatively, enjoy a game of squash or tennis, hook a trout, or relax in the sauna or pool. The hotel also lays on game-viewing and nature drives.

Mount Sheba's en suite rooms all have fireplaces to warm you on chilly winter nights and the five course dinners, served in the stately dining room add to the luxury and exclusivity of this fine country hotel.
