Why Travelers Love This
Venture beyond the iconic Sani Pass to explore remote Basotho villages and historical sites. Enjoy intimate cultural exchanges with the locals, including visits to traditional homes, a meeting with a local healer, and the chance to witness ceremonial dances. Stop at Black Mountain (3,240m) to enjoy panoramic views of Africa's second-highest peak, Thabana Ntlenyana, and visit the secluded villages of Mokhotlong and Makhapung. Kindly Note: Prior reservations are essential in order to have lunch at the Highest Pub in Africa during the tour. Unfortunately due to the lodges limited capacity entry is granted only to guests that will be eating with them, this also means that the lodge is unfortunately unable to accommodate guests who wish solely to have a drink, use the WIFI, or restrooms. Alternatively we offer our guests the option of either having lunch at a lovely local Basotho restaurant, or feel free to bring along your own snacks and drinks for in the vehicle while on the tour.
