Awesome - Overall experience, very knowledgeable guide, excellent driving skills, going the extra mile. Visiting the traditional homestead, tasting the home baked bread and beer was special and informative. Learning and experiencing the culture of Lesotho an added bonus to the Sani Pass. Thanks to Emile for a great day.

50th Anniversary Celebration To Remember - Thank you to Roof of Africa Tours for going out of your way to make our tour an amazing one. Picked up from our cottage. Sandile, our guide was great in his knowledge and hospitality. Stops for the views and fresh air, some fun facts and a small tea/coffee break on the way. We reached the top, had a tour at a small village with a taste of the home made bread. Lunch at the highest pub in Africa, good food and great company.

A great day experiencing Sani Pass with Family. - An amazing trip on Saturday from the time we as a family were picked up from our Cottage in Underberg until the time we were dropped back at our Cottage. Peter our guide was really professtional, explaining what the trip would entail as we had first-timers in our family group. He was always pointing out different types of Birds, Vultures and plants and flowers along the way. His talk at the village on how the peope of Lesotho wear their blankets and how they cook was very interesting, p;us more. The two kids we had in our group really took to Peter and were asking questions along the way both up and down the pass, plus whilst at the Village.
