Buckle up for one of South Africa's most exhilarating road trips — the legendary Sani Pass. This full-day 4x4 adventure takes you from Durban through the rolling green hills of KwaZulu-Natal into the dramatic Drakensberg Mountains, ascending the infamous hairpin switchbacks that zigzag up a 2,874-metre mountain pass.
At the summit, you'll cross the international border into the Kingdom of Lesotho — one of only three countries in the world entirely surrounded by another nation. Visit the iconic Sani Mountain Lodge, home to the Highest Pub in Africa, where you'll enjoy a warming lunch with panoramic mountain views stretching to the horizon.
Meet local Basotho herders tending their sheep and cattle on the vast highland plateau, visit a traditional Basotho village to learn about their unique culture, and marvel at ancient rock art and formations.
