THE SANI EXPERIENCE

Drakensberg ~ The Dragon Mountains – the most widely known name for this mountain range.
The Zulu’s have the most romantic name of Ukhahlamba – the Barrier of Spears.
The Basotho people know them as the Dilomo tsa Natala – the Cliffs of Natal

ITINERARY
Day 1: After an early pick up in Durban we drive up to the Southern Drakensberg. On arriving in Underberg, we meet up with our 4 x 4, for the drive up Sani Pass. On arriving at the top we enjoy a tour of a Lesotho home where we learn about the way these people of the mountains live. After this, we drive back to the Sani Top Chalet and settle into our rooms. The afternoon is left for us to enjoy lunch and have our first drink at the “Highest Pub in Southern Africa”. Chalet (L,D)

Day 2: After breakfast we collect our lunch packs and start our hike to the Hodgson’s Peaks. These peaks are 3244m and 3256m in height and form the sides of the Giant’s Cup. After enjoying lunch on one of the peaks, we head back to the chalet for the night. Chalet (B,L,D)

Day 3: This morning after breakfast we do a short and easy walk to Phinong, to stretch the legs and enjoy the scenery. We return to the chalet for lunch and then are collected by 4 x 4 for our trip back down the pass and from here, we make our way back to Durban, arriving about 8pm. (B,L)

Due to the fact that Sani Pass is a high altitude pass and is gravel, there are 2 – 3 weeks during the year when this pass is impassable due to weather conditions. Adventure World and its affiliates reserve the right to postpone or cancel a trip should the pass be closed to the public, during these times. Please remember your passport will be required for this trip as we will pass through the South African / Lesotho border post.
