Book with Mo the tour guide - A really great experience. The best part of the tour was our guide Mo, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. The views up the mountain were incredible and the pub at the top was a special place to have lunch.

Super Trip With an Excellent Company - My wife and I had a fantastic day on the extended tour into Lesotho. Going up the Sanni Pass was something we really wanted to do and we had made a special trip to stay in Underberg. Our guide Moiloa (Peter) was excellent, and it was great that he was born in Lesotho himself. Despite both of us being horse-riders, we were glad we chose the extended cultural experience, instead of the riding, as we gained a greater insight into rural life in the country. We were picked up and dropped off from our accommodation and, the next day, the company owner came back with my hat which I had left on the vehicle, having chased the vehicle part way up the pass. Such customer service was impressive, and I would fully recommend Roof of Africa tours. A brillant experience All round !

Top birding with Mo - We enjoyed a day of birding up Sani Pass and quite deep into Lesotho with Mo. He was great fun and knew his birds. We found pretty much all of our target species and the guiding was high quality

Not to miss!! - Amazing day trip to the Sani Pass from Himeville and into Lesotho. The views were just spectacular, the drive up the twisty dirt road very exciting, and we got to learn a lot about the Lesotho culture and people. And let's not forget a nice lunch in the highest pub of Africa! Our guide Sandile was an excellent driver, who always made us feel safe and taken care of.

BEST experience with BEST guide from the BEST Roof of Africa Tours - What a glorious day on the Sani Pass tour with Peter as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience! Peter was an amazing host, going above and beyond to ensure our family of five, including two elderly members (one with a walking frame), felt welcome and comfortable throughout the tour. His knowledge and passion for the region's history, culture, and natural beauty were impressive, and he presented it in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. Peter's patience and kindness towards our elderly family members were particularly noteworthy, making sure they could fully participate and enjoy the tour without feeling rushed or left behind. The scenery, of course, was breathtaking, and Peter's expertise brought it all to life. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a more enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this tour and Peter as your guide! 5 stars isn't enough - we'd give it 10 stars if we could!
