Top Underberg Culture

Journey from Underberg into the heart of the Drakensberg on one of Southern Africa’s most iconic Private mountain adventures. Travelling in a comfortable 4×4 with our expert guides, you’ll climb the legendary Sani Pass, a dramatic ascent of winding switchbacks, soaring cliffs, and breathtaking viewpoints, before crossing into the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. Enjoy time to explore local curio shops, visit a traditional Basotho homestead, taste warm bread baked on an open fire, and experience authentic Lesotho song and dance. Lunch is enjoyed either at the Highest Pub in Africa (subject to availability) or a lovely local restaurant, before we descend the pass and return to Underberg in the late afternoon.

For those who want to go further! The Sani Pass is only the beginning. This full-day guided experience takes you 60km beyond the iconic ascent and deep into Lesotho’s remote highlands, where life unfolds slowly and landscapes stretch endlessly. If you want more than a scenic stop at the top, this is your tour. - Immerse yourself in Basotho culture. - Stop at Black Mountain to admire Thabana Ntlenyana, Southern Africa’s highest peak. - Explore the remote village of Makhapung & meet a local healer. - Discover the historic town of Mokhotlong. - Enjoy lunch at either the Highest Pub in Africa (subject to availability) or a lovely local restaurant
