Description

Discover the mountain landscapes and cultural heritage of Lesotho on this immersive overnight adventure from Durban. Travel beyond Sani Pass, entering the heart of the Mountain Kingdom to enjoy traditional villages and authentic local experiences.

Your tour begins with an early departure from Durban, crossing the KwaZulu-Natal countryside towards the Drakensberg Mountains. After reaching Underberg, meet your specialist mountain guide and transfer to a 4x4 vehicle for the ascent of the famous Sani Pass.

The climb into Lesotho offers dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and sweeping views. After border formalities, continue into the highlands, passing remote mountain communities and open landscapes rarely visited by international travellers.

The following day, choose from guided hikes, horseback rides, or cultural activities before returning. Descend Sani Pass again, with a lunch stop in Underberg, then continue to Durban, arriving in the evening.
