Review: Sani Mountain Lodge




Lesotho Sani Mountain Lodge

This place is very secluded and a wonderful hot spot to visit.

Unfortunately you will need to do border passport control to visit from the SA side. Then to proceed up Sani pass a wonderful windy gravel road which does not really need a 4x4 but for safety reasons should be done in a decent 4x4 high vehicle. I would not attempt it in anything else, although many have dome it in 2x4 double cabs. 

During winter higher up the roads become extremely icy and slippery. It is the border police prerogative to allow vehicles they don't see fit not to attempt the pass. They do this for your own safety and fighting with them will get you no where.


The lodge is spectacular and very accommodating with breath taking views. There isn't much to do except relax. Don't underestimate the chill from the mountain breeze at this altitude even in summer it's a little more than chilly. 





The staff are fantastic and everything was reasonably priced. The rooms were cosy and well looked after with a fire place being lit every evening. Bathrooms were clean but no door for those who like a bit of privacy while sitting on the throne.


 This place is a once in a life time destination, boasting the highest pub in Africa, Ask for a glass of their special brewed Glühwein you will not be disappointed.
