The Drakensberg Mountain range is the country’s grandest and has its highest point, where it forms the border between KwaZulu Natal and Lesotho. The name literally means ‘Dragon’, derived from the breath-taking high jagged basalt cliffs bearing a similarity to the back of a dragon. The Zulu people call it the ‘Ukhahlamba’, (Barrier of Spears).

Day 1: Durban – Drakensberg Mountains – Sani Pass
Drive inland past Pietermaritzburg to the area of gently pastoral beauty called the Natal Midlands. We pass through grassy plains scattered with villages and lush farmlands where plump cattle and thoroughbred horses graze. Then further through Underberg, a picturesque little village situated in the foothills of the majestic Drakensberg Mountains. Now we set off to Sani Pass, named after the primitive people who lived in the area millennia ago, for a four-wheel drive with hair-raising bends and breathtaking views to the top of the mountain. Lunch is served at the top in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho some 3 000 m above sea level. We return early afternoon, change vehicles and set off to Durban.
NOTE: Please take your passport along as we enter Lesotho.
