My first trip up Sani in 1979 and many times since. There were only gravel roads and the pass itself followed a slightly different and steeper route in the 70/80's. By the way, it is pronounced "Lesoothoo" with an emphasis on the "H".

Apparently they are going to tarmac the actual pass this year too. The tour guides we spoke to were disappointed as less people will rely on them. Appreciate the tip. I bet your trip in the 70s was wild!

They have been talking about tarring for years, the opposite view is it will facilitate trade between the two countries and uplift the local Basotho in the eastern part of the country. My fastest time up the pass (from border post to border post) was 9 min 58 sec during 1982 Roof of Africa. My slowest time was 42 minutes on a Vespa scooter in 1987. Around '87-'90 I rode a Honda 500 to the Thabana Ntlenyana peak about 2km north of Sani (tallest peak in Africa south of the equator). Hope you have fun in Southern Africa!@@davidandchloe

What's the difference between Lesotho and Switzerland? The people.
