Ambassadors, Jessica & Sarah completed the Rhino Peak Challenge this weekend.

Together, they raised over R40 000 for Wildlife ACT, Endangered Wildlife Trust, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and the Bearded Vulture Recovery Programme. This is all thanks to you 💕 Without your support and donations, they could not have done it and are incredibly grateful.

A special thanks go to Richard and Mouse Poynton, Elemental Roots, Kelly Stegen Coach, Pura Vida Hilton - Natural Skin Care Products, Esse Skincare, Miche Bakehouse, Irritech, St John's D.S.G. and all the generous donations and words of encouragement.

Overall, all the Ambassadors have nearly raised R1.1 million, all for endangered wildlife - how amazing!

Thank you everyone.

Remember to look up.

There is so much to discover at Cleopatra — and some of it is flying overhead.

Our unique mountain setting provides a wonderful home to an abundance of birdlife, making every day a little different.

Another little reason why Cleopatra is so special.

Staff Shout-Out Sunday.

Today we’re giving a special shout-out to Head Chef Princess Hlela.

Princess joined the Cleopatra family at just 21 years old and, over the years, has trained extensively and worked closely with Richard Poynton, developing her skills and becoming the talented chef she is today.

At 44, Princess is a wonderful example of dedication, passion and the wealth of knowledge that comes from years spent in the kitchen.

We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Cleopatra family, Chef Hlela.
