I happened to be the only person on the tour that day. My guide was very good and handled the rather treacherous Sani Pass with great skill. The day is filled with beautiful landscapes that change constantly with the clouds atop the Drakensberg. My guide was also excellent at spotting some of the wildlife on the drive. Lesotho is very unique as it’s at a very high altitude. It reminded me of both Iceland and Mongolia. The stop at Africa’s Highest Pub was a pleasant stop. Lunch is included and one can also pay for a drink from the bar. I’d recommend staying in Underberg instead of Durban so that you don’t have to endure a 3-hour drive before and after the trip.

We had a fantastic experience up the Sani Pass with Sani Pass Tours. Our guide, Njabulo was fantastic. He stopped frequently, telling us about our surroundings, allowing ample time to take pictures and skipped the queues at border control and getting our passports stamped in a record time. The vehicle was comfortable with a lot of space and big windows. We learned a lot about Lesotho and its people when visiting the Basotho hut & tasted their delicious homemade bread. Lunch was great, in buffet style and the kids meals were enormous portions. Afterwards enjoyed a drink or 2 at the pub. Great views! I would definitely recommend Sani Pass Tours. The only downside for me was the many field fires around us and burned down mountain slopes with smoke hanging in the air - but this is due to our timing (we went early Aug, winter in SA). I would love to do this experience again in summer, around Feb when the fields and mountain slopes will be lush green with clear skies.
