Afriski Winter Day Tour

Activity Description

A FULL-DAY LESOTHO ALPINE ADVENTURE.

Experience Lesotho in its winter wonderland on this unforgettable full-day adventure from Underberg to Afriski Mountain Resort. Available exclusively during the winter months (June – August), this tour combines a scenic 4X4 journey over the iconic Sani Pass with time on the snow-covered slopes of Afriski, a rare and exhilarating experience in Southern Africa.

Departing early to make the most of the day, you’ll travel deep into Lesotho’s highlands, where dramatic mountain scenery, crisp air, and snow-dusted peaks set the scene. Upon arrival at Afriski, enjoy a thrilling 2-hour bum-boarding session (or snow tubing for kids) on the ski slopes, followed by a relaxed lunch at the Highest Restaurant in Africa, with time to soak up the views and atmosphere before the return journey.

This is a long but rewarding day designed for adventure lovers looking to experience Lesotho at its most magical.
