Sani Pass – KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

The Sani Pass at the South Africa-Lesotho border is located in the Drakensberg Mountains and reaches a dizzying elevation of 9,400 feet. The main attraction of the pass is the beautiful green and rocky landscapes surrounding it. According to the Trip Advisor user ‘Kirk_and_Jo-Anne,’ it takes 90 minutes to travel through the route.

However, the trip is bumpy and only suited for an SUV. But travelers can take multiple stops along the way for breathtaking photography, and the summit is home to South Africa’s highest pub, Sani Mountain Lodge. Despite some repairs and renovations, an average sedan is still not the best choice on this path.
