Sheba's Secret is tucked away on the eastern bosum of Sheba's Breast - a peak in the Ezulwini area of Swaziland.
Accessible from Mantenga Nature Reserve where there is a walking trail, or via Lidwala Lodge on the MR103 road, which also has a shorter, but brutally steep trail to the summit. Alternatively a more adventurous route would be wa hike down the length of the Lugogo ridge from the Royal Swazi Spa.
Sheba's Breasts is a very scenic spot with great views over the Ezulwini and Mantenga valleys below. The peak is dominated by large granite boulders spread across two distinct pinnacles, which when viewed from the south (Mlilwane or Malkerns) offer a distinctly feminine shape.
Sir Ryder Haggard, author of the classic King Solomon's Mines spent time in Swaziland in a room rented just up the valley from here and this peak features prominently in the tale.
The cache itself is well concealed, so feel free to take some clues from the hints below. It requires a little bit of rock scrambling to access the cache.
