SANI PASS road from South Africa into Lesotho
- Images from left to right:
The drive up the road to Sani Pass is dirt and
steep, extremely steep!!. But the scenery is some of the most spectacular we
have
ever seen. At the top is the Lesotho border and the highest pub in Africa.
The boys just have to have a beer.
The country of Lesotho is high and mountainous
and breathtaking. Below is a typical village in the area from Sani Pass.
Horses in this part of the country are invluable and well used to help herd
the cattle and sheep.

hot; Macca on the roof of Fred's vehicle, predator (lion)
