Tours Details
Embark on an exhilarating adventure to the majestic Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, perched high in the Southern Drakensberg Mountains—affectionately known as the “Kingdom in the Sky.”
Your Sani Pass Day Tour kicks off with a scenic departure from the quaint town of Underberg at 9:15 AM (Departure times may vary if you are being picked up from your hotel or guesthouse—in this case we will contact you directly to confirm your pick up time) Prepare for an unforgettable ride as we journey in luxury 4×4 vehicles through the rolling landscapes to ascend the legendary Sani Pass. Over approximately 2.5 hours, you will climb from 1,544 meters to a thrilling 2,876 meters. With stops at the two border posts: the South African Border Control at the base and the Lesotho Border Control at the summit – valid passports are of course essential.
The pass, known for its serpentine gravel road and steep inclines offers some of the most spectacular views as you wind your way through its hairpin bends, and offers many photo opportunities at the various view sites along the way. Once we reach the top, we’ll dive deeper into Lesotho’s heart for a truly immersive cultural experience. Be warmly welcomed into a Basotho home, where you’ll discover the rich history and vibrant traditions of the Basotho people. Enjoy freshly baked Basotho bread and hear captivating stories about the local culture and ways of life, after which you will get to relish a hearty lunch at the Highest Pub in Africa or an authentic Basotho restaurant, the choice is yours.
Throughout your journey, your guide will share fascinating tales about Lesotho’s history, its remarkable people, as well as its resilient fauna and flora, making the experience as enriching as it is thrilling.
As we descend the Sani Pass and return to Underberg around 3:30 PM, we have no doubt that you’ll be filled with unforgettable memories and a newfound appreciation for this extraordinary piece of Africa.

Lesotho On Track
It was wonderful feeling like tourists in our own country. Njabulo was a great guide and competent driver. We learnt a lot. Glad I wasn't white-knuckling the steering wheel, foh sho Thoroughly enjoyed our day. Love SA even more. Thank you ? - Mary
This was an excellent tour full of adventure. Thanks very much - Ricardo
I had such an amazing experience with Lesotho On Track on the Sani Pass day trip! The company even called me beforehand to make sure everything was sorted, which made the whole process feel so easy and stress-free. Our driver, Martin, honestly made the day. He's funny, super kind, and knows so much about the area and the Basotho people. He kept the drive entertaining, answered every question, and even offered to take photos for everyone. You can tell he really cares about making the trip special. The drive itself was breathtaking those mountain views are something else! Crossing into Lesotho was smooth, and with Martin guiding us, we got to experience the culture in such a warm, genuine way. The whole trip was well-paced, fun, and never felt rushed. If you're thinking of doing Sani Pass, I'd definitely recommend Lesotho On Track and if you get Martin as your driver, you're in for the best day! - Kiera.C
Overall we really enjoyed our time on your tour. The only dissapointing part were some other guests almost "rushing us" or making comments that we were keeping them late when on the website it said pick up time from 9am-9;30am. Maybe make it more clear to guests about pick up time etc. We understand you cannot control guests. We loved our guide and the tour. - Bridgette
Our family trip to Sani Pass was nothing short of amazing. Thanks to Martin for his driving experience getting us up and down the mountain pass safely. The terrain isn't easy to navigate and does require experience which we were certainly taken care of in that aspect. Lesotho on track is a very great company to use if you want a great experience. Thank you - Algin
