Underberg Lesotho Day Tour Adventure

The tour ventures past the iconic Sani Pass, traversing rugged terrain to explore remote, authentic Basotho villages and historical sites that many other tours overlook. Guests enjoy an intimate cultural exchange with the Basotho people, including visits to traditional homes, a meeting with a local healer, and the chance to witness ceremonial dances, providing unique insights into Basotho traditions and daily life. The tour includes stops at Black Mountain (3,240m) with panoramic views of Africa's second-highest peak, Thabana Ntlenyana, and visits to the secluded villages of Mokhotlong and Makhapung, which remain largely untouched by modernity. Travelers have the flexibility to dine at The Highest Pub in Africa (with prior reservations), enjoy an authentic Basotho restaurant meal, or bring their own refreshments, catering to various preferences.
