Area Info
Thanks to its high altitude of the Drakensberg region, where Sani Valley is located, enjoys great seasonal contrasts making it wonderful to visit, at any time of the year. Sani Valley is located in the Southern Drakensberg. The closest villages are the twinned villages of Underberg and Himeville. The road which links The Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal passes by Sani Valley through the spectacular Sani Pass. A 4x4 and passports are required to visit the top of the Sani Pass, where the well known highest Pub in Africa is situated and beyond it the beauty of the Lesotho highlands.
Spectacular gorges and valleys
Most of KwaZulu-Natal's major rivers rise here and plunge down into the steep-sided gorges and valleys below. Sani Pass is only a 30-minute drive from Himeville and 15 minutes from Underberg.
A vast protected area
Almost the entire Drakensberg area is a protected park, a paradise of trails, rivers and dams, with an abundance of wildlife and rare plant. Rivers and dams are well stocked with trout, making fly-fishing especially rewarding. Sani Valley borders the Sani Pass and the National Nature Reserve.
A fascinating ancient culture
The Bushman San hunter-gatherers lived on these mountains from about 8000 years ago until the mid-1800s and left behind a priceless legacy of rock art. These fascinating paintings tell the story of their stone-age culture, rituals and spiritual beliefs. Take a walk into the uKhalhamba Drakensberg Park to see these wonderful paintings, which are some of the finest in the Drakensberg.
