The Drakensberg Mountain Range
What better way to experience an adventure tour through the mountains than on top of a horse? Pony Trekking is one of the most popular activities in Lesotho – allowing visitors to truly take in the beauty of the various landscapes. Trekking is available as both day tours and camping adventures.
Between June and August, the high altitude of the mountains brings snow fall. Many tourists use this opportunity to rent ski equipment and go down the slopes of the Drakensberg. This is great for day trips and adventure tours, especially considering that Durban and St Lucia, with their white sandy beaches and warm waters are just a few hours from the mountains.
For those that would like to travel the mountains at a slower pace, the walks and hikes are breath taking along Sani Pass.
