Epic Sani Pass Ascent: Lesotho's Kingdom of the Sky

The tour was absolutely amazing! Our driver, Patrick, was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable — he shared so many fascinating stories and insights along the way. The car was very comfortable, and Patrick’s great driving made the journey up and down the hills both safe and exciting. We saw a lot of beautiful sights, had lunch at the highest pub, and even met a lovely local woman who told us a wonderful story that made the day even more special. I can’t recommend this tour enough! The experience was worth every penny — great value for what you see and learn.

Dear Aldo / Roof of Africa Tours Jaco & I wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible Roof of Africa guide tour at Sani Pass! Your expertise and passion for the region truly made the experience unforgettable. The breathtaking views, fascinating history, and warm hospitality made it a day we will always treasure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with us. Best regards, Jaco & Elsie Steyn

Great day out. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The visit to the village in Lesotho was very well done. The journey along the Sani pass was an amazing experience

We were picked up before 9am, got our forms for the Lesotho border in order, then set off up the Sani Pass. Our guide, Tsebo, was exceptionally knowledgable, telling us about the history of the area, and of the Sani Pass, as well as all about the flora and the fauna on the way, so we could take photos. A coffee and crunchie stop half way up. The road is fascinating, all the hair-pin bends, carved into the mountain sides, and the views are outstanding. Visiting a Lesotho village at the top and learning more about the history of the people there was great, and they dressed up my daughter Lesotho style! You can buy crafts and warm Basotho blankets there too. We were then taken for a warm buffet lunch, and then visited the highest pub in Africa! What a treat! This trip will appeal to anyone loving adventure, nature, history, good scenery, or just someone who is wanting to do something totally different. You get 4 passport stamps in your passport that day, and Lesotho requires 6 more months on your passport before the expiry date. We were back at our hotel at around 4pm. I would definitely highly recommend this trip!

Wonderful experience going to Lesotho via the stunning Sani Pass from Durban with two amazing guides, Hossana and Peter. Lesotho is an extraordinary country. It looked and felt more like the steppes of Mongolia than Africa. The tour took me to villages where we met local people, learning about their unique culture and way of life. We also rode horses through the arid landscape, took a hike, and had lunch at the highest pub in Africa. The accommodation was perfect with a private garden and delicious food. The team at Roof of Africa were so easy to communicate with when organising the trip from Australia. As a solo traveller, Britney was very accommodating, providing options and advice to suit my interests. I highly recommend Roof of Africa. A very professional tour company focused on their customers.

We were picked up at premier resort sani pass by Sonandla . He was informative , friendly , funny and the best most careful driver ! That road of no man’s land is very scary but we felt totally safe with him . He gave us such a fantastic day . I would say this tour was one of my South Africa highlights

We had an anazing guide Peter who was very passionate about all the flora, fauna and history of the places we saw on our way, we had an amazing coffee/tea break on our way and then the visit to a village in Lesotho was very interesting and amazingly presented - there was an amazing sense of humor and positivity throughout whole trip and most importantly we felt very safe as passengers - Recommended for everyone to experience - a must have experience when around Himeville

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it! Peter, our guide and driver, was helpful, funny, and very knowledgeable. The little extra touches, like stopping for coffee and cookies, were such a thoughtful addition and really appreciated. We also loved the delicious lunch at the pub before our journey back down the pass. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish!

An enjoyable day outing, lots to see and learn. Guide super knowledgeable and friendly and excellent driver. Highly recommended.

Was a very easy , smooth experience from Booking with Britney to the actual trip , our tour guide was professional. Friendly and very knowledgeable and we felt very taken care of , a definite must especially in winter to see the snow on black mountain and learn about the Basotho culture.
