Itinerario
Este tour es para todas las edades y niveles de condición física. La duración de este tour es de aproximadamente 6 horas con un traslado de aproximadamente 2,5 horas desde Durban y el mismo de regreso. Saldrá a las 6:00 de su alojamiento en Durban. Si se hospeda fuera de Durban, comuníquese con nosotros para confirmar si es necesario un recargo. Por favor traiga su pasaporte válido y es recomendable traer una chaqueta abrigada, una botella de agua adicional, protector solar, binoculares y su cámara. Durante su viaje desde Durban, pasará por la histórica ciudad de Pietermaritzburg y luego saldrá hacia las montañas del sur de Drakensberg. A medida que vaya conduciendo hacia las montañas, pasará por pequeños pueblos rurales pintorescos y vastas tierras de cultivo. A su llegada a Underberg, será recibido por un guía profesional de Sani Pass y será trasladado a un vehículo 4x4. Pasará por tierras de cultivo y las estribaciones de Drakensberg hacia el control de la frontera de Sudáfrica. Entonces el tour comienza en serio. Subirá 1000 metros por un camino de grava durante 8 kilómetros a través de un sitio del Patrimonio Mundial y un paisaje magnífico hasta el puesto fronterizo de Lesotho. En la parte superior alcanzará una elevación de 2840 metros. Durante el ascenso por el paso puede ver una gran variedad de aves, eland, babuinos y pequeños. La fauna y la flora endémicas son abundantes a través de este sitio del patrimonio mundial. Después del control fronterizo de Lesotho, se dirigirá a las remotas tierras altas de Lesotho. Incluso puede ver a algunos de los esquivos pastores de Basotho cubiertos con mantas tradicionales y vistiendo atuendos tradicionales. Visitará un pequeño pueblo que fue construido originalmente para ayudar a los pastores locales y ver sus casas de piedra. Su guía le dará una explicación de su forma de vida y rituales diarios. A partir de ese momento, se dirigirá hacia el pub más alto de África para el almuerzo y las bebidas (a su propio costo). Encaramado en el borde de la Escarpa, tendrá excelentes oportunidades para tomar fotos desde las cubiertas delanteras del Restaurante. Después del almuerzo, regresará por la frontera y se relajará a través de las asombrosas curvas de Sani Pass, que es una de las escenas más espectaculares de África. Con un estómago lleno y muchos recuerdos, su conductor lo recibirá para su traslado de regreso a Durban. Una oportunidad real para ver no solo la magnificencia de este pase, sino también un país diferente

Amazing experience!! A super smooth ride from Durban to Sani Pass + Lesotho and back all in the same day in a comfortable vehicle! Everyone was so nice and the pictures of Sani Pass do NOT do the Drakensburg justice.. the landscape blew me away and it was truly the highlight of the entire trip even though everything else we saw on our trip was amazing! As mentioned, everyone from the organizer to the guide to the driver were super friendly and gave us lots of good insight and history and background along with the experience itself! Would love to travel with them again!!
Thank you for this amazing review Michael. We are delighted that you had such an amazing experience. We hope to welcome you back in the near future :)
I made this reservation at the last minute, and I worked with Yolanda on the phone. She was able to put together a very last minute trip for me and my friend, and coordinated a ride from the cruise terminal in Durban with Xolani to Underberg, where we changed vehicles and did the Sani Pass trip with Patrick. Patrick was excellent, and gave us the history of the area. We crossed the border into Lesotho, and drove to a village and met with the villagers, who shared their culture and dance/songs with us. The weather wasn’t perfect, but the day was, and we got to see so much in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend Major Adventures for this trip!
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Allen was extremely knowledgeable about both South Africa and Basotho and masterfully drove up the difficult pass. We saw baboons, danced with Basotho locals, and got some breathtaking views.
Good afternoon Samuel. We love hearing back from our Guests on their tour with Major Adventures. People definitely underestimate the Sani Pass drive, but with our long standing Guides they are well equipped with experience to tackle that terrain. Thank you for your feedback and we are very proud it was a successful Major Adventure with us! Take care xx
The expirience was amazing. Driver was very expiriences, the people that we met were international young students and they were fun to be with. We helped each other. Lesoto people were great. Defenately a warm jacket was useful and needed. I would advise that people bring actual cash as we had an u ha memoment when we just finished eating and the card machine declined all our bank cards from different banks😁
Good Afternoon, some very great feedback for those thinking of doing the Sani Pass Day Tour. Lesotho can get up to 10 degrees cooler than South Africa. Jackets, Sunscreen and Cash is always advised to travel with. Loadshedding plays havoc in our Country, including Lesotho, and we are very sorry that this impacted on your trip. Thank you for your review and trust you will all return one day! The Major Adventures Team
Warren the tour guide was fantastic!He was so knowledgeable about everything and real’y took his time to make sure our tour was flawless.We did have a pick up from Durban which was not organised that well so we would suggest confirming this with Major adventures the night before!Other than that,get a tour with Warren!He is the BEST!
Hi Alexandra. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your Sani Pass tour into Lesotho with Warren. Regarding the transfer from Durban - we depend on clients providing us with the exact pickup address in Durban. While Cameron gave us a pickup address, this is not where the driver eventually found you both. It was a good thing that Bradley had your South African mobile number which he could give to the transfer company. Thank you again for visiting the Southern Drakensberg, and experiencing the legendary Sani Pass. We wish you a happy Christmas and wonderful 2023. Gardi Major
We were with a travellers group. In 4 jeeps the very skilled drivers drove us through the Sanipass and told us about the flora and fauna in the surroundings as well as the history in that place. Seeing nature changing the higher we drove was extraordinary. Never felt and tasted such cold and fresh water from the mountains. The views were amazing and being in Lesotho was beautiful, again experiencing another culture within a culture.
Dear Marloes. Thank you very much for the great review, and the tons of beautiful photographs taken of your trip with your mother. Apologies for the late reply. Wishing you a snowy but cosy Christmas foryou and your family in the Netherlands. Bradley
We had an amazing day with our guide Elias. He was a wealth of valuable knowledge. The drive up the Sani Pass was gorgeous. Don’t leave Lesotho off your itinerary! It makes for a very long day if you’re coming from Durban, but it’s worth it and completely doable!
Wow, thank you Sarah for a delightful feedback. The trip is so worth it, the views are breathtaking and Elias parts with such knowledgeable information, it makes one just feel part of the peoples culture! We are thrilled you had a great trip and look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to SA!
