I had an incredible experience. On Sunday morning I was collected from my residence by Thabo, who had already picked up the American couple joining the tour that day. From the very beginning, Thabo was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He prepared us beautifully for what was to come, sharing rich history and cultural insight as we travelled towards Underberg. His storytelling truly set the tone for the experience. In Underberg, we were handed over to Mondli and wow. There is such depth, strength, and lived knowledge in him. You can feel that he has a real connection to the place. He grew up near the area, and as he guided us up Sani Pass, sharing local history, personal memories, and cultural context, it added layers of meaning to what we were seeing. We stopped at several viewpoints to take in the landscape, breathe, and reflect. Those moments I am deeply grateful for. Crossing the border into Lesotho felt like entering another world. The mountain landscape is striking and beautifully preserved, untouched by modern rush and noise. We visited a local home, tasted traditional bread, and were welcomed by Basotho women who shared aspects of their daily life and culture. It was an incredible experience. Later in the afternoon, we had lunch and met Sandile, another guide who carried the same spirit of great professionalism and warmth. We also met another traveller who had completed her overnight tour and joined us for the drive back to Durban from Underberg. Descending Sani Pass and returning to Durban felt like its own tour. Truly, the day felt like three tours in one. Rich, layered, and thoughtfully paced. By the time we reached Underberg again, I was overwhelmed by gratitude. I had dreamed of doing this tour but did not know how or when it would happen. It felt like God's perfect timing. Back in Thabo's care for the return to Durban, we shared stories, reflection, and laughter. The perfect ending to a perfect day. As a high school teacher, I was especially moved by the excellence that Mondli, Thabo and Sandile carried throughout the day. I found myself thinking about how powerful it is for young people to see adults work with such pride and purpose. Since public schools reopened on 15 January 2026 I have been talking about my experience to both my students and colleagues. Not only about the tour, but also about what excellence can look like in practice. I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed this experience. I am overflowing with joy, gratitude, and a sense of awe. Highly recommended. ?????

Your drivers/tour guides made our tour up and down Sani Pass memorable. Thanks for your professionalism all around.

It was an absolutely enjoyable and well organised tour. Both your guides (Hosanna & Aldo) were well informed, polite, friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the whole day. Safe drive by both of them, good and sincere conversation during the rides, breathtaking scenery (despite the mist and the drizzle in Sani Pass), excellent lunch in Masoba Soba. Scenery and staff are highly appreciated and rated.

The driver was very accommodating and the tour proceeded on time. The tour itself was a great experience as I was able to experience the majestic nature.
