The Sani Pass is one of the most dramatic roads in Africa — a heart-pounding 4x4 ascent up the Drakensberg escarpment from KwaZulu-Natal into Lesotho. The road climbs 1,332m in just 8km through hairpin bends, with sheer drop-offs and stunning views.
At the top, enjoy a beer at the Sani Mountain Lodge — officially Africa's highest pub at 2,874m. Visit a nearby Basotho village, meet the shepherds who live at this altitude year-round, and gaze over endless mountain vistas.
