Sani Pass
The
Sani Pass is a spectacular
mountain road that is a well-known entry point into Lesotho
from South Africa’s Natal Drakensberg
Park. It is the gateway to the ‘Roof of Africa’ scenic route that links the
spectacular scenery of the Drakensberg with the mountains of northern Lesotho.
The Sani Pass is the only border post between
Kwazulu-Natal and Lesotho. A 4X4 vehicle is necessary for this road especially
if the weather is bad. Never underestimate the changeability of the weather
in Lesotho. A common truth is that you can have four seasons in one day, so
be prepared. Have lunch at the top of the Sani pass at the highest pub in Southern
Africa. Sani Top
Once,
the Sani Pass was a rough mule trail descending the Eastern Highlands of old
Basutoland into Natal. Tough drovers brought wool and mohair down the Pass
on donkeys and mules to be exchanged for blankets … clothing … maize
meal … the essentials for life in a remote, impoverished country. And a
young man had a dream … of operating a motor vehicle service up this
fantastic Pass, using the 4-wheel drive vehicles he had seen on service in
World War II. His name was David Alexander and he founded this Company in
1955. It has operated on the Sani Pass ever since.
