Description
We travel through to Underberg where we transfer into a 4×4 vehicle for a trip up the famous Sani Pass to the top of the Drakensberg and into Lesotho where we meet these mountain people living in a very harsh land. We will visit the Sani top chalet which is one of the most isolated pubs in Africa. It is certainly the highest. The area is renowned for its incredible scenery, flora and birdlife. This is the home of the eland, the largest antelope in Africa, duikers, baboons and the rare bearded vulture. Passports are essential for entry into Lesotho, and jerseys, jeans and binoculars are a must.

Great experience
Wonderful journey. Due to almost suspense of tourism at covid I was alone and all attention was for me like in personal VIP tour. Pickup and return on-time. Car and SUV were comfy. SUV driver is high professional in hard and dangerous mountain road. Zamani is knowing guide and also good driver. Both are great interlocutors. I saw some places in Durban and pleasant landscapes, towns and animals on the way. Sani Pass has impressionable mountains, gorges, rivers, waterfalls and plants. I watched the village in Lesotho with it's special countrylife and highest pub in Africa. And we were so lucky with our sunny trip just after that the weather changed to rainy. I'm extra satisfied! High recommendations! Many thanks! Ngibona kakhulu!

An outstanding event filled day.
We had a wonderful day from Durban out to the Sani Pass. The trip was fantastic and our guide Zamani was excellent. We would recommend this trip and in particular this tour company and look forward to doing something else when we return to Africa. Thanks again Scott and Dee from New Zealand.
