Much activity took place here during the Anglo - Boer War and the pass was named after a cannon used by the Boer fighters. Leaving Leydenburg behind, the tour heads for another pass -Robbers Pass, where stagecoaches were held up during the gold rush era.

Overnight for the next two nights is at Mount Sheba Nature Reserve. This outstanding facility is nestled within a magnificent rain forest with several interesting walking trails. Dinner on this night is a set menu, prepared by award-winning chefs and accompanied by excellent wines.
