Your adventure begins with an early 6:00 am departure from Durban, heading through the scenic KwaZulu-Natal Midlands towards the charming town of Underberg, the gateway to the southern Drakensberg. The drive sets the scene for the day ahead, with rolling hills, farmlands, and mountain vistas preparing you for the dramatic landscapes to come.

From Underberg, the journey continues in a 4x4 vehicle up the legendary Sani Pass, a thrilling mountain road known for its steep gradients, hairpin bends, and breathtaking views. As you climb towards the summit, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas of rugged cliffs, deep valleys, and the sweeping Drakensberg mountains. At the top, you cross into Lesotho, where you can visit a traditional Basotho village and enjoy the hospitality of the famous Sani Mountain Lodge, home to the “highest pub in Africa.” After soaking in the mountain beauty and cultural experiences, the tour begins its descent back down the pass and returns through the Midlands countryside. You’ll arrive back in Durban by late afternoon, filled with unforgettable memories of one of South Africa’s most iconic journeys — a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural splendor.
