DAY 1

This tour departs from Durban. We will pick you up from your accommodation and head up into the mountains towards the scenic town of Underberg. Once we arrive in Underberg, we will grab a coffee and embark on our journey up into Lesotho.

Time to head up to the highest pass in South Africa, the daunting Sani Pass. We travel through Himeville to the World Heritage Site of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, following the Mkomazana River up the scenic Sani Valley to the South African Border Post (border formalities) and the Lesotho Border.

After the Lesotho border formalities at the top of Sani Pass, we climb even further into the Lesotho highlands, all the way to the top of the Black Mountain pass. At the top of Black Mountain Pass we get a chance to leave our vehicle, climb a short distance to a beautiful viewpoint of Thabana Ntlenyana.

Watch the sun go down on the top of Black Mountain Pass as we make our back to Sani Pass where our overnight accommodation awaits.
