AI generatedSani Pass
Lesotho · Mokhotlong · 2877 m
Short description of Sani Pass
The Sani Pass climbs the Drakensberg wall from KwaZulu-Natal in a series of hairpins so steep that the South African post turns back anything without four wheel drive, and the border itself sits at the top at two thousand eight hundred and seventy six metres. Day tours out of Underberg bring up most of the foreign visitors who ever set foot in Lesotho at all. The lodge at the summit sells itself as the highest pub in Africa and now takes bookings even for lunch. The road on the Lesotho side is tarred and easy.
