I guess a subtitle for this blog could be ‘mixing business with pleasure’. I had been working for a while on this project for a diamond mine in Lesotho so was very excited when I had a chance to go and visit the site high up in the mountains of that country, at around 3100m!

Sani Pass

February 3, 2008

The entire track going from Mokhotlong to Sani Pass is very scenic, but that section between the highest point at 3200m and Sani Pass (2875m) is just amazing. The only people that I saw were a couple of friendly shepherds looking after their sheep.

I arrived at Sani Pass around 11.30, before the organized tours bring small groups of tourists from the South African side. They will take you up here in 4x4’s from Underberg or Himeville and it is possible to stay for the night at Sani Top Chalet.

It wasn’t long before my car was surrounded by 4x4’s. I thought that was quite funny, but I wasn’t going to laugh much longer…
