Lesotho Day Tour

Activity Description

Start your day with pickup from Underberg or Himeville and set off on a high-clearance 4×4 adventure toward the base of the legendary Sani Pass. Navigate steep switchbacks, rocky tracks, and mountain streams, stopping at scenic viewpoints for photos and fresh mountain air. Along the way, your expert guide shares insights about the Drakensberg mountains, local wildlife, and Lesotho culture.
At the summit, cross the border into Lesotho, a highland kingdom of rolling alpine grasslands, grazing livestock, and stone homesteads. Here, choose between:
Basotho Pony Riding: Ride sturdy local ponies along scenic highland trails, experiencing the landscape as locals do, with breathtaking mountain views.
Village Immersion: Spend extended time in a traditional Basotho village, learning about daily routines, local crafts, livestock farming, and tasting freshly baked bread.
Lunch is enjoyed in the highlands, either as a scenic picnic or at a local mountain eatery serving hearty fare. After lunch, descend the Sani Pass, stopping for final photo opportunities and reflecting on the day’s immersive experiences.
Return to Underberg or Himeville in the late afternoon with memories of a day filled with adventure, culture, and stunning scenery. This tour is ideal for travelers seeking both thrills and meaningful cultural connections in one unforgettable journey.
