Southern Berg - Sani Pass 4 x 4

"The Sani Pass 4x4 old trading route" - This spectacular Pass pierces the Drakensberg Mountains through a narrow defile cut by the mKomanzana River.
Nestled in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg is the small village of Himeville from where the Sani Pass 4 x 4 drive trail starts to climb into the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, This spectacular Pass was once nothing more than a vague footpath used by "Bushman", later the Pass became the main trading route for the early traders, missionaries and travelers. The Pass climbs to an altitude of 2874 m and zig - zags upwards beneath towering cliffs, buttresses and waterfalls. On reaching the Lesotho border post you can have lunch at the highest pub in Africa.
