I loved the scenery and how knowledgeable the guide was. He really knew the best spots to stop and a lot about geology. it snowed on top of the Sani Pass and in Lesotho, which was an amazing experience.

Full description

From the bustling City of Durban, Tour to Lesotho – “Kingdom in the Sky”
The Sani Pass tour into Lesotho from Durban gives you the opportunity to experience an adventure of a lifetime – a comfortable and exciting journey up this famous pass.

Starting off in Durban, our tour heads up through the KwaZulu-Natal midlands, to the picturesque town of Underberg, where the real adventure begins.
Our luxury Sani Pass tour snakes up the mountain and takes you through a scenic valley along a crystal clear river, making for a breath-taking experience. Your personal Tour Guide will fill you in on all you can learn about the history of the pass and the surrounding area.
Feast your eyes on the natural landscape that is dotted with many species of wildflowers, creating splashes of vibrant colors. The road itself is rough which is why only 4×4 vehicles are allowed to traverse it, but because of this and the hairpin bends, you are in for a fun and heart-racing trip.

Once you reach the top your senses will be filled beyond your wildest dreams – breathe in the fresh mountain air, drink in the sweeping vistas that are nothing short of majestic, and enjoy this unique African experience in Lesotho – ‘Kingdom of the Sky’.

Really great day trip! The tour spends 3 hours each way getting from Durban to Underberg, so there is a lot of time spent in the car, but this didn’t bother me and our guide shared a lot of info along the way. Once in Underberg, you board the 4x4 and cruise through the park and stop along the way for beautiful photos & wildlife spotting (baboons, various birds, etc). Sani Pass & crossing the border was a true adventure and really fun. Once in Lesotho, you visit a small village and then visit the Highest Pub in Africa for lunch & beer (at own cost). We learned so much about Lesotho & the Underberg area in SA—our guides were awesome. Really recommend this tour for anyone looking to get a small taste of Lesotho & that doesn’t mind spending a lot of time in the bus/4x4.
