Mondli, as our guide was excellent, informative, entertaining and a real pleasure to spend the day with . We cannot recommend him and the tour highly enough
It has always been a bucketlist item for me to go up Sani Pass. This was an amazing experience. Our guide Peter was knowledgeable, kind and professional. The visit at the Basotho village was very informative and the food at the restaurant was very tasty. I am so glad I came across this tour as I would never have been able to do it in my own vehicle. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Just had the amazing trip up the Sani passing .Greg our driver was excellent,punctual ,and a very good driver.He made this trip with his vast knowledge and easy going manner. The pass was challenging but in the comfortable 4 wheel drive provided it was enjoyable. Certainly recommend this trip as well the personal touches of flowers, home made cakes ,biscuits, coffee and fudge. Thank you for a great day out.
