"The Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho"
High up in the mountains of Southern Africa is the
unique Kingdom of Lesotho, a country not much larger
than Belgium, that provides spectacular scenery
and offer the chance to enjoy Africa's majestic
beauty, the simplicity of a mountain people and
a gentle way of life.
"The Sani Pass 4 x 4 route"
Nestled in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg is the small
village
of Himeville from where the Sani Pass 4 x 4 drive trail starts
to climb into the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, This spectacular
Pass was once nothing more than a vague footpath used by "Bushman",
later the Pass became the main trading route for the early traders,
missionaries and travelers. The Pass climbs to an altitude of
2874 m and zig - zags upwards beneath towering cliffs, buttresses
and waterfalls. On reaching the Lesotho border post you can have
lunch at the highest pub in Africa. Today the Sani Pass
is a protected Wilderness area populated by eland, unique flora
and bird life.
