Tour Description
Sani Pass & Lesotho Day Tour From Durban
Leave on this Sani Pass Day Tour from Durban, for this epic full-day tour of the Drakensberg, Sani Pass and Lesotho. On arrival in Underberg, you will transfer over to a 4X4 vehicle which will be taking you up the mountain via Sani Pass and into the country of Lesotho. You will pass through the Drakensberg National Park (uKhuhlamba), a world heritage site.
This is due to its unique bird, plant, and animal species. But also the some 50 000 rock art paintings that are found throughout the mountain range in caves and over hangs. These were made by the San or Bushmen people the true indigenous people of Southern Africa.
You will need your passport as you pass through the SA border post and then drive on very rough off-road conditions up the mountain pass, eventually zig-zagging back on yourself numerous times and arriving at the Lesotho border post 2825m up. Enter the country of Lesotho and visit a traditional Basothu homestead. Your guide will give you some history and info about these hardened people and how they survive in such difficult conditions. Enjoy some homemade bread and beer, then it is onto the highest pub in Africa for lunch
