Sani Pass Day Tour from Durban

Durban

Activity Description

The Sani Pass tour into Lesotho from Durban gives you the opportunity to experience an adventure of a life time – 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 colours. 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’.

Customer Reviews

Great trip. Professional guide who made the day interesting and enjoyable. Very safe driver. - marian


Tout s'est tres bien passe. Les guides ont ete tres bons. Belle excursion ! - Tony


This was an absolute blast! Definitely worth the price. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, the scenery was fantastic. - Ian


We enjoyed this tour from start to finish. Our driver on the 3-hour trip from Durban to Underberg, and back, was friendly and knowledgeable, giving us plenty of information about the changing landscape and the people, animals and birds that lived there. But the real tour began when we boarded our 4X4s to make the journey from Underberg through the Sani Pass to Lesotho. It's about 35 km from Underbeg to the South African border post, and less than 10 km from there to the Lesotho border post -- but those last 10 km are on some of the most rugged roads we have ever encountered, and through some of the most beautiful scenery. That part of the ride alone took 90 minutes with plenty of time to stop and soak in the views. Once in Lesotho, we enjoyed our opportunity to visit a traditional village of the Basotho People and later a chance to sample Maluti lager -- made from pure mountain water and available only in Lesotho. It was served at a restaurant that bills itself as the Highest Pub in Africa. It was a long day but packed with new experiences. We would highly recommend it. - Brian


Wonderful tour. The initial driver gave us a very informative ride to meet our second guide Mo. We switched to a 4 x 4 vehicle and had an amazing ride to the Kingdom in the sky. Had the pleasure of meeting the local people of Lesotho and seeing how they live. Ended with lunch and drinks at the highest pub in Africa. - Eddie
