Mountain Splendor -The Kingdom of Lesotho

Durban, South Africa

Leave Durban and travel through the Natal Midlands to Himeville. Hop into a four wheel drive vehicle and enter Lesotho via the Sani Pass, where you will visit a Sotho Village and interact with the locals of this neighborhood. Travel to Sani Pass Top Chalet for lunch before returning to Durban after a full day of exploring.

You will make an early start, meandering through the rolling green hills of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and on to the little town of Himeville. Here you board a four wheel drive vehicle, the only means by which to tackle the steep Sani Pass. At the top lies a remote border post - passports are essential - and beyond that, the Kingdom of Lesotho.

You will visit a traditional Sotho village and then enjoy lunch at the Sani Top Chalet, which has incredible views of the pass, before making our way back down the mountain.

Please note: The four wheel drive vehicle will depart from Underberg. And a visit to magnificent Howick Waterfall will be included on the return journey (time permitting).

An amazing place appears out of this world. A trip on a harsh road but totally worths.

Sani Pass was amazing. The trip from Durban was a bit long but our driver Frank was great. The Cultural piece of this in Lesotho felt a bit forced in a seemingly staged town, but all in all not bad. Got to learn a bit of the history of the region which was good.

As a keen 4WD driver in Australia, I appreciated the different scenery and enjoyed this unique look at an unusual mountain pass and the people who live there. Most enjoyable and having been to the highest pub in Africa rounded off a very good trip

If you are in Durban don't miss this tour, its absolutely a must with excellent scenery and great experience going up(and down) Sani Pass. Our guide was very nice with great knowledge and we were very lucky with the weather, great views all the way
 

Review by:   Jay F,    January 2013 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
Worth doing once just because the place is so different than most places I've been. It is a long time in the van just getting back and forth from Durban. The road up into Lesotho is an experience in itself. Once in the country, it is pretty basic and you are done, off to the long road back home.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Lesotho experience._br/_ We had a competant 4wd driver and guide and residents at the village didn't mind us seeing their huts and taking photos. Would highly recommend trip

Highly recommended. This is a great opportunity to learn about natives, other than Zulus, and to visit their homes.

This was a great trip it does take 12-14 hours and the road is rough,but the scenery is wonderful you feel like you have been transported to another time when you reach Lesotho.

One of the most interesting travel experiences of our lives! - opened our eyes to how the shepherd tribes of Lesotho live. The travel up to almost 3000m is over beautiful mountainours landscape, many photo opportunities. The guide was very well informed and friendly.

I highly recommend this day trip from Durban, it's not as scary as you might read elsewhere and get in before they tar the Sani Pass. The Viator staff I dealt with via email were very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

The drive up Sani Pass was beautiful!! We rode but the pass is a Land Rover and it was a lot of fun, going down was a little sketchy in parts due to the clouds that rolled in but I felt completely safe with our driver. The driver was really nice and funny so it made the drive entertaining. We visited a small Lesotho village, I suggest eating the bread! It was very tasty. We ate lunch at the higest pub in Africa and it would have had a beautiful view if it wasn't so cloudy. I suggest this tour if you want to get out of the city and see some beautiful scenery.

Fantastic trip. The journey up was great and the guide really good. And at the top in Lesotho was superb too. Well worth doing if you're ever staying in Durban.

The trip is not for the fainthearted as it involves a 4 wheel drive trip up a steep mountain track, but it is well worth it for the experience at the end.
