5.00Fantastic tour! Njabulo was such a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He expertly navigated the Sani Pass road and was a very considerate driver and the car was comfortable on the bumpy road! The Sani Pass itself is absolutely stunning, the views were magnificent and it was great to learn from Njabulo as we went along. We were lucky enough to be the only people on the tour that day, so we received a private tour! Going to Lesotho was great and it was interesting to learn about the culture. Sam at the Lesotho On Track office was also great to deal with and was really helpful ahead of the tour. We would highly recommend the tour to anyone wanting to see the Sani Pass and to visit Lesotho :)
Excellent service from Lesotho on Tracks

5.00The Sani Pass tour hosted by Lesotho on Track was nothing short of exhilarating. Sam made our booking so easy and was so pleasant to deal with. The 4 x 4 taxi was neat and modified perfectly for the sani pass. Martin, our tour guide was exceptional. He was so patient and knowledgeable and made us feel safe. Of course, seeing snow at Black Mountain and witnessing it snow at the highest pub of Africa, was our highlight. Thank you, for helping us make special memories

5.00Perfect from start to finish. We were picked up at our hotel, shared the 4 wheel drive with 3 others and began our adventure. The tour guide NJAbuio was excellent and very knowlegable. The weather was clear and sunny on the way up and the views were spectacular. We stopped plenty of times for photos. The border procedure was smooth and we were soon enjoying the cultural experiences of Lesotho. We had lunch at the highest pub in Africa ( recommend chicken pie) and then the mist came up the valley, the temperature dropped and we experienced an atmospheric descent !! I have not got a head for heights but felt very confident with our guide driving......
Great operator for Sani

5.00We had an incredible experience with Njabulo on our trip into Lesotho. From the moment we started he made us feel welcome. Njabulo was extremely knowledgeable about the history and cultural of the area. He stopped whenever we asked him which was a lot, as we love taking photos. He also has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this tour operator and Njabulo as your guide. The Fortuner was luxurious and comfortable. Thank you Njabulo for making this an unforgettable day.
Great tour
