What a brilliant brilliant tour. Alan our guide was absolutely fabulous and Sani Pass and Lesotho what an experience. The lunch in the highest Pub in Africa was delicious. I had a bunny chow which was the most delightful meal I had in Africa. The pass is breathtakingly beautiful and Lesotho is an eye opener. Definitely not a tour to be missed.

The trip to Sani Pass and Lesotho was our second one within as many years with Benson of Owomusa Safaris. As was with the first trip, what an epic experience and adventure it was! Benson was his usual cheerful and tour encyclopedia keeping us updated on key areas of interest. The interaction with the shepherds and the locals at the Highest Point in Lesotho as well as the pastor teaches you a few things about the locals and their traditions. Lunch at the Highest Pub in Africa was delicious, filling and warm on a cloudless chilly afternoon! My family informed Benson to slot us in for a winter snow experience this June/July and we are looking forward to another epic adventure!
