Sani Pass is located in the western end of KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa on the road between Underberg and Mokhotlong, Lesotho it is a route that connects Kwazulu-Natal and Lesotho. It is a notoriously dangerous road, which requires the use of a 4x4 vehicle. This pass lies between the border controls of both countries and is approximately 9km in length[1] and requires above average driving experience. It has occasional remains of vehicles that did not succeed in navigating its steep gradients and poor traction surfaces, and has a catalogue of frightening stories of failed attempts at ascending the path over the Northern Lesotho mountains. While South African immigration at the bottom of pass prohibits vehicles deemed unsuitable for the journey, the Lesotho border agents at the top generally allow vehicles of all types to attempt the descent.
Sani Pass 4x4 trip. 3 MINUTE DRIVE NEAR THE TOP OF SANI PASS .
SEE SANI PASS BEFORE THEY TARMAC THE TRACK
A 3 minute clip up near the top of Sani Pass. A lot of 4x4 club members in the area have complained because the Lesotho government have scraped the surface down so it is now a lot easier for 4x4s to get up there where as before it was completely full of rocks and craters and extremely hard to drive up.
The local hotel/Guest house owners in the Himeville/Underberg area have all signed a petition to try and pursuade the Lesotho Government NOT to TARMAC the track upto Sani Pass as this will instantly kill off the attraction of going to the Himeville/Underberg area to drive up Sani Pass. They are also trying to pursuade the Lesotho Governement NOT TO BUILD A PROPER HOTEL up at the top of Sani Top. The owner of Sani Pass Pub has sold the pub to the Lesotho Government as they insist on Tarmacing the track up there and build a proper hotel at the top. Any of this info can easily be found on the web if you disbelieve it.
Driving the Sani Pass to Lesotho
The 9km drive up the Sani Pass is a 4x4 adventure drive along a rough road connecting Kwa Zulu Natal with Lesotho in the Drakensburg Mountains. The day we did it the weather was appalling! The reward for our endeavours was a cool beer in the bar of the Highest Pub in Africa, at the strategically placed Sani Top Chalets!!

A quick HD Video walk through Sani top chalet pub. THIS IS THE HIGHEST PUB ON THE ENTIRE CONTINEN OF AFRICA. Its located inside Lesotho. At 9429 feet it can be difficult to get your breath if you exert yourself due to the lack of oxegen in the air. The atmosphere inside the Sani Pass Pub is very relaxed with good drinks and food and the staff are really friendly. There is a small shop inside as well that sells the usual T-Shirts etc to say you were here.
