Judy at Sani Pass

Looking down into South Africa from Lesotho at Sani Pass you can see the road we came up on. We rode in a 4-wheel drive tour vehicle with Lucky, our Zulu driver and guide. The pass is the highest in Southern Africa at 2874 meters (9400 feet). The ride was extremely rough with huge rocks and fording streams. Passing other vehicles on a very narrow road with a steep dropoff and no guard rails added to the adventure. The scenery for the entire 45 km trip was outstanding. This is the only entrance to Lesotho from South Africa on the eastern side. Lesotho is a small country surrounded by SA.
