Unforgettable day at Sanipass and Lesotho! - We were exploring the Sanipass and Lesotho with our guide Sandile. We had an excellent time with him and another couple. He told a lot about nature, fauna and culture and was also interested in our culture in Europe. We had a beautiful weather to see magnificent views. Sandile was an experienced driver. We loved to do this tour with Roof af Africa!

Awesome tour! - Our very nice guide could tell us a lot about the nature and the culture of both South Africa and Lesotho. During the tour he always made an effort to explain and show us the animals and nature of the sani pass. He payed a lot of attention to our personal interests and adapted the tour accordingly. We arrived in Lesotho smoothly due to his safe driving and preparations for the border control. In Lesotho we visited the highest pub in Africa and a village, where we learned a lot about their culture and enjoyed the great view of the Drakensberg. Our guide was also very flexible with our dietary requirements and prepared a delicious vegetarian lunch for us.

Beautiful Land, Beautiful People. - Beautiful land; beautiful people. Husband arranged the Tour which started on time as Mondli picked us up from our accomodation, at the furthest, most remote address in Underberg. Warmed to Mondli straight away and this continued as the day progressed. Knowledge of the area, of driving the pass, settling us into each part of this adventure -.wonderful. We stopped to enjoy the views and learned a lot about this land. Passport control was dealt with efficiently and we journeyed to the Highest Pub in Africa. Good toilets/facilities and the aroma of pizza welcomed us. The journey on into Lesotho included visits to two villages In the first, we had songs and dancing and got to know the residents. In the second, John sampled the locally brewed beer. We had a nice picnic lunch, cold drinks and a second cup of coffee. We dropped into the pub again, this time for drinks. Mondli was a wonderful guide. He helped us out as we had lost our travel adaptor, and kindly stopped on the way back so we could buy essentials- everything needed for a braii. He was a brilliant representative for his community and an incredibly nice and intelligent person. John enjoyed their conversation. I would recommend this trip to anyone and would do it again anytime.

A trip worth taking with a reputable company - The day was well planned. The vehicle was clean and well maintained. Our guide, Elias was amazing, a real raconateur, recounting historical battles and facts about the area with great skill. We enjoyed the coffee stop on the way, and the cultural experience. It was a trip worth taking. We would highly recommend it.

Fabulous & Scenic Tour up Sani Pass !!! - THANK YOU EMILE for the excellent tour up Sani Pass. The tour was thoroughly enjoyed, and your 'entertaining knowledge sharing' , your patience and your superb driving skills was impressive. We commend you for your high level of service which makes Roof of Africa Tours highly recommended. Having fun in the snow was the highlight (this is now ticked off from my wife's bucket list ). We commend you for your service excellence and certainly look forward to another tour with you in the future.

Sani Pass in four season 👍 - We would like to thank Peter for the very informative tour and bring us down safely . He is so polite and patient. With tour guides like him we could definitely increase tourism here and be proud of people like him to fly our flag. He’s a gem take care of him. Kids also loved the ride with him. He was also glad and happy to receive info from my daughter whose an engineer and knew about the construction works at the pass. So was a good day for all 🙏💝Thank you Roof of Africa

Sani Pass At Its Best - This is something to savour as this famous Pass is being tarred. Soon it will no longer be the same hair raising ride that so many like. The whole tour is very professional and well worth doing.

Awesome mountain views, interesting fauna and a small peek into the lives of the Basotho people - The tour was great! The views were beautifully scenic. We passed through a smaller town and experienced a performance of Basotho women in a village. Our guide Mondli (or Moe) clearly explained the region's history and geography. We enjoyed him pointing out the flora and fauna along the way. We are especially impressed by his knowledge and bird spotting ability where he points out local and interesting species that we would have definitely missed.
