Great Tour - This was a remarkable tour. Freddy, our guide was the best. He allowed the tour to be "ours." We were able to stop and capture beautiful moments along the way and had an amazing adventure.

Great tour - Great tour !!! I liked everything, the Drakenberg mountains, the village and the highest pub in Africa !!! On the downside, it seems the few villages behind the border get too much used to tourism and the highest pub in Africa doesn’t serve draught beer

Excellent birthday experience - I had an excellent day which happened to be my birthday driven by a very skilled and kind Thami. From being picked up from the hotel, comfortable trail truck and the majestic views, my experience exceeded my expectations . I would recommend this experience to everyone, you will not be disappointed.

Great trip! Would recommend! - This was a great tour. The views along the way are beautiful, but they really become stunning when you get to the pass. The tour guide, Frederick, was very knowledgeable and nice and was a great driver! The trip into Lesotho was good and the pub certainly not to miss!

Family tour to Lesotho via the SANI pass - We really enjoyed the experience, l will go back there anytime with Zulu safaris. They are amazing, the tour guides took their time to explain about the different places we went to. We took lots of photos, went to Africa’s highest pub and the cultural village.

The highest point=lowest satisfaction - From pick up at The Oyster Box the disappointment kept coming. We were told an extra R400 to be picked up there (it was on the included list) to my husband and I being separated in 2 different vehicles to having to buy our lunch at a grocery store instead of eating lunch at the highest point pub. The actual climb up the pass and the view were amazing as promised Customer appreciation was none. The driver of my car was on the phone the whole time making new reservations for the next days. I would not recommend this tour guide.
