The Gate to Stillness

In the heart of Umhlanga Nature Reserve, a humble wooden path leads toward a gate fashioned from repurposed slats, weathered, welcoming, and slightly ajar. Tall reeds sway gently beyond, catching the last light of day as golden beams filter through the canopy above. The ground is soft with sand and scattered leaves, and the overhanging branches frame the scene like a natural archway. This is a place of quiet passage, where footsteps slow, breath deepens, and nature opens its arms in gentle embrace. A portrait of simplicity, serenity, and the sacred rhythm of the wild.
