since Patsi introduced us to the White Mountain resort in the
Drakensberg it has become a very special place for the Safari
Sisters. To us it is a magical place and sort of a confirmation of
our bond of friendship. Vistas of White Mountain will always bring
fond memories and sometimes even make us wipe away a stray tear
whilst remembering the good times. I have no words to describe the
beauty, but hope that the photos on this page can convey some of it
to those of you who have not been there in person...
The way to White
Mountain took us through the wonderful Natal Midlands and past many
rural villages with a new vista en beauty around every corner. It
was a cloudy afternoon but that did not take away any of the
pleasure of driving through these valleys.

Arriving
at White Mountain

|
|
|
The
accommodation consists of thatched roofed rondavels and our rondavel
had a wonderful view of the fly-fishing pond and the far-away
mountains

You can
sit for hours just enjoying the view of the fly-fishing pond and
identifying the ducks and other birds. On this occasion it was an
early morning scene with the pond a mirror-clear image and some of
the birds still sleeping... |

Green
pastures (with COWS LOL!!) and an "ugly duckling" creating
the only ripple on the pond...

| The
next morning I was up early to enjoy the sunrise but I was not quite
prepared for the beauty that I met when I walked around the
rondavels to see what White Mountain looked like in the early
morning. Enjoy the view! |

One last look at the White Mountain pond panorama...
It was a beautiful day
and just perfect for the vistas that awaited us on that day in the
mountains as we traveled on back to Pretoria via the Drakensberg
Royal National Park and Mount Aux Sources |
