In One Country

DAY 10 | ZULULAND - DRAKENSBERG - LESOTHO

Jump into a four-wheel drive vehicle for a guided excursion up the legendary Sani Pass into the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. At the top, enjoy a drink at the highest pub in Africa before visiting a local Basotho village. You’ll meet the warm and resilient locals, see their traditional homes, and perhaps pick up a handmade woven basket or photograph the famous Basotho hat.

Your experienced mountain guide will share fascinating stories about Lesotho and its resilient people—the hardy Basotho of the highlands. You’ll spot the sure-footed Basotho Ponies, a vital part of local life, whose lineage can be traced back to the Cape Horse. Traditional beer and homemade bread may be offered on request.

After this cultural experience, you’ll descend the Sani Pass and return to Underberg in the late afternoon, typically between 16h00 and 16h30, depending on wildlife sightings along the way.

DAY 11 | CINSTA, SOUTH AFRICA

Travel south to Cintsa, the crown jewel of South Africa’s Wild Coast. Here, endless untouched beaches invite you to slow down and unwind. Feel the soft sand beneath your feet as you wander along the pristine shoreline, soaking in the natural beauty.

Whether you’re relaxing by the sea or exploring hidden coves, Cintsa promises a peaceful coastal escape.
