A luxury ride up the mountain - We had a group of 10 that wanted to see Lesotho during our group trip to South Africa. Angie was easy to coordinate with and really responsive to messages. Greg and Nathi were terrific guides who kept things running smoothly on a gorgeous but busy winter day.
The trip, despite being up a rocky mountain pass, felt like a luxury experience. The views were incredible, the treats were delightful, and the bread at the Basotho village was delicious. I'd recommend this tour to others.

Sani pass was awesome with the team - Prompt response from Angie who arranged the tour last minute for us smoothly. Dick was really friendly and picked us up on time. Transferred to our 4x4 up the sani pass which was comfortable. They prepared blankets, tea and cookies for our trip. David was an excellent guide who is knowledgeable and help us spot various wildlife like zebras, baboons and eland during our drive. Great team! Highly recommended.

Best day ever! - The day was absolutely fabulous! We started the early morning from Durban and immediately our guide, Dick, was welcoming and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip to Underberg comfortable, fast, and pleasant. That is where we then met our guide for Sani Pass, David. The transition was seamless! The moment we opened the door to the 4x4 we were greeted by the most amazing presentation. There were goodies and a welcome package to make our honeymoon special! Once on the road, David was able to answer any and every question we had. Beyond the breathtaking views, we were amazed by the freshly prepared tea time on a stop as we wound our way through the pass. The red velvet cookies were AMAZING! While in Lesotho, we learned a bunch about the Basotho people and had the privilege to be welcomed into their home. We enjoyed the bread prepared for us greatly before heading to the highest pub in Africa. While it was a very windy day at the top, we were quickly welcomed around the fires to enjoy a great lunch.
The way back down to Underberg, then back to Durban, took no time at all because we felt like we had known David and Dick for ages, passing the time quickly. They went truly out of their way to make the day one of the best on our holiday.
If you want a cookie-cutter experience to Sani Pass - this is not the trip for you. However, if you want a private, amazing day...look no further! We cannot recommend this trip enough.

Awesome experience! - Excellent tour! Both our transport driver from Durban and our tour guide for Sani Pass were excellent and taught us so much about the local culture and even quite a bit of history about South Africa. The experience itself of driving up Sani Pass is absolutely gorgeous and special, it should not be missed. Plus the homemade cookies we got along the way to the top were a huge bonus! Would book with these guides again.

Highly recommend - I can’t recommend this tour enough! Angie was very quick to respond to any messages and questions I had. Elizabeth and Colin picked us up from our hotel and spoke very knowledgeably about the history of Durban and the surrounding areas as we drove to the drop off point to start the Sani drive. Greg welcomed us with waters, blankets incase it got cold, home made muffins and cookies as well as some juice. The Sani Pass itself is a very challenging drive and Greg did an AMAZING job driving it. You could tell our safety (and his) was a top priority. He was very knowledgeable about the pass, the Lesotho people and their culture. The highest bar in Africa was a great stop with very good food and a wide variety of drinks. The views were stunning as well as the experience of the drive. If you are considering doing this tour, I would 1000% recommend using Angie and Greg.

Terrific experience! - I cannot say enough about David my guide (and now friend) who took me up the sani pass. David was superbly knowledgeable, gracious and professional. His personal passion for the region made for a superb experience. Angie (who organized the trip) was incredible communicative and helpful in the planning stages. She helped customize the trip to my needs. Superb org to use for a safe and interesting trip to Lesotho.

Stunning Day Trip - This was an amazing day trip from Durban. It was a long one, but well worth it. Communication with Angie was great. She was very accommodating since I was traveling alone and trying to do this tour from Durban. She arranged pickup and I met Greg in Himeville. The first part of the drive the roads were good, but after the border crossing in SA to the top of Sani Pass it is quite bumpy, but that is the experience. The Drakensberg mountains were stunning! You cannot even imagine how beautiful they are. Greg was funny and a great guide. And Angie packed snacks and made amazing cookies. Thank you Angie. I had such a fabulous time. The scenery was unlike any other and an experience I won't forget. Would highly recommend this company and tour. Loved it, thank you.
