What an awesome experience. Passport control was a breeze and it was an eye-opening experience to see how the people in Lesotho live. The visit to the highest pub in Africa is something never to be forgotten. The guide who took us on the tour was well-informed and a superb driver. This is the kind of stuff memories are made of.…

Review of: Sani Pass Private Day Tour
We had tried the Sani pass the year before and it was a tricky drive even with a decent vehicle and I found that the Diff-Lock needed to come down the steep declines caused a fair bit of wear and tear on my rear tires so I figured I would use the tour company for the next trip up. Sani Pass has been sanitized over the last year or so and is much kinder on vehicles and in much better condition but its still quite a challenging drive up and when you're the driver you miss the majestic view on the way. having a professional driver and letting their car take the knocks seemed a much better option and I got to see so much more. an amazing bonus was an arranged stop at one of the Lesotho homesteads where we were welcomed into local lady's home to experience Lesotho culture and then we got to sample the most amazing warm Pot-Bread. I bought another loaf to have back at the hotel that evening. The Tour is reasonably priced considering the amazing experience you enjoy and the fact that you can see so much more and there is no wear and tear on your own car to consider.…

The Sani Pass is not to be taken lightly, and certainly not if you have back or joint problems. We were picked up by 4x4 vehicles with 9 seats, and set off to conquer the pass! The first bit is on a road, then we hit road works where the pass is being upgraded to make it more passable. In a way that's a pity because the very rough terrain, being shaken from side to side and the squawks of horror at the lack of track we were driving over was the best bit. We were going up very steep, very rough tracks, and at the top we needed passports to get into Lesotho where we had a visit to a local village and lunch at a restaurant. The trip down was even more exciting as we could see the precipitous drops in front of us on the corners. Along the tracks are men whose job is to fill in holes so the vehicles can traverse it. There is no taxi service between one end end of the pass to the other (Lesotho) so the middle bit has to be walked by the locals, carrying the goods bought in the markets. We arrived back at our hotel, battered, bruised and thoroughly invigorated by our day out. Thank you to our driver Frank for getting us up and down safely. He does this daily 6 days a week!…

WIlson, our driver and tour guide from Sani Pass Tours, was excellent! Very attentive, informative and considerate in spite of the dense cloud on the Sani Pass! The pub is a little more 'up-market' than our previous trip 6 years ago, but again we were made to feel very welcome. The visit to Mohkotlong was very interesting and eye-opening! Thanks again Wilson - good job!!…
