After the scenic drive from Oak Ridge to the Sani Pass SA border, enjoy venturing up the Pass, to the Lesotho/SA border and enjoy a drink or hot chocolate (depending on the season!) at the 'highest pub in Africa'! Travel either on your own (4x4's only...they will turn you away at the border if you don't have a 4x4!) or with one of the local tour companies based in Underberg who specialise in San Pass tours. Don't forget your passports!
