Without a doubt the Sani Pass is one of the most spectacular and scenic mountain passes in Africa.  This tour is a must if you are travelling to Kwa-Zulu Natal.  The Pass winds steeply through the summit of the Drakensberg and through the Lesotho border post.  Many adventurous travellers from across the world include this on their itineraries in order to traverse the breathtaking natural scenery this precarious mountain has to offer.  The guided tour does not require any physical fitness and therefore encourages people of all ages.  You will collected at 6:00 from your accommodation in Durban and return at approximately 18:00 depending on weather and traffic. The tour packs a big punch with unforgettable views.  You will leave having conquered the highest and most iconic pass that Southern Africa has to offer.

We were with a travellers group. In 4 jeeps the very skilled drivers drove us through the Sanipass and told us about the flora and fauna in the surroundings as well as the history in that place. Seeing nature changing the higher we drove was extraordinary. Never felt and tasted such cold and fresh water from the mountains. The views were amazing and being in Lesotho was beautiful, again experiencing another culture within a culture.

We had an amazing day with our guide Elias. He was a wealth of valuable knowledge. The drive up the Sani Pass was gorgeous. Don’t leave Lesotho off your itinerary! It makes for a very long day if you’re coming from Durban, but it’s worth it and completely doable!
