Passports & Visas

Valid Passports are essential. No exceptions are made.

Visas may be required for some nationalities and can be obtained online.

Please check  http://www.evisalesotho.com/

What to Bring

Bring a small overnight bag with two changes of clothing.  Additional luggage can be safely stored with us in Underberg.

Bring comfortable warm clothing in case of cold and walking shoes.  

Don’t forget sunscreen and mosquito repellent (although there is no malaria in the area), sunglasses and camera’s.

There is little cell phone or internet signal in the country.

Small change for purchase of curio’s.

We provide all other refreshments

What is the altitude?

The Sani Pass is at an elevation of 2873 meters above sea level.

Black Mountain Pass which is towards the village you will visit is at an elevation of 3278 meters above sea level.

The Tlaleng Pass is the highest motorable Pass in Southern Africa.

Moteng Pass is extremely steep.

We have never experienced anyone who has had altitude sickness however how guides check continuously and we have a standby plan in place.

How long is the tour?

We leave by 8h00 in the morning.

You will arrive at Clarens by approximately mid-afternoon on the third day.

What happens if the weather is bad?

When it is raining, misty or snowing we still operate the tour as most times you rise above the clouds as you go up the Pass.

The only times when the tour will be cancelled is if the Pass has been closed by the border control due to being blocked by snow in the winter.  It can happen that the top of the Lowlands road before the Moteng Pass can be blocked but there is generally a quick solution and we would be informed of the weather prediction prior to the tour.

Please speak to us about cancelling if you are not happy.

Is the Pass going to be tarred?

Yes.  However according to the engineers involved this will only be in about 5 years.

There are a few road works but this is long before the South African border post.

Can I drive on my own?

Some do attempt to do this but unless you are very experienced it is not advisable.  Inclement weather conditions are dangerous if you do not know the road and can happen at any time even if it looks good in the morning.

You will not get to see Basotho culture as this is only provided through a guided tour and your views will be restricted if you do not have the freedom to watch as you pass.

In Lesotho the roads are good.  The challenge is driving at high altitudes can be daunting.  The second reason why a guided tour is necessary to see Lesotho is because it is remote, there are few signposts and no commercial stops along the way.  You will undoubtedly miss most of the attractions.  Should something untoward occur you may not be able to get help unless a guide is with you and mobile signals are very poor. Cross border fees with car rental companies are high.

We are geared to handle any problems, have roadside insurance and medical evacuation insurance.  We are also in touch with many of our personal contacts along the route.

You can however ‘Hire a Guide’ provided you have the correct vehicle the guide will accompany you in your vehicle for the duration of the tour.  Lesotho overnight costs R1800 per day to hire the guide. Hotel and meal costs will be added and all costs of the vehicle.  Please book in advance in order for us to secure accommodation.

Rental vehicles are not suggested as rental companies will charge for damage in the area even with full cover insurance.
