Self-catering accommodation Southern Drakensberg, Sani Valley Lodge, accommodation at the 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. Please do not forget your passports, visas are not required. It is the gateway to the "Roof of Africa". A 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. 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.

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 and 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.

Sani Valley Lodge is the ideal accommodation for the adventurous type, but home comforts are still important. After a long 4 x 4 excursion coming back to a Jacuzzi and a full body massage is the best way to relax and plan your next adventure, maybe a quad bike ride, horse ride or possibly a quick flip on a Micro Light.
