Sani Pass Private Day Tour

About this activity

Journey from Underberg into the heart of the Drakensberg on one of Southern Africa’s most iconic Private mountain adventures. Travelling in a comfortable 4×4 with our expert guides, you’ll climb the legendary Sani Pass, a dramatic ascent of winding switchbacks, soaring cliffs, and breathtaking viewpoints, before crossing into the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. Enjoy time to explore local curio shops, visit a traditional Basotho homestead, taste warm bread baked on an open fire, and experience authentic Lesotho song and dance. Lunch is enjoyed either at the Highest Pub in Africa (subject to availability) or a lovely local restaurant, before we descend the pass and return to Underberg in the late afternoon.
