The Sani Pass Hotel, Kwazulu-Natal South Africa - In Pictures

This is the Sani Pass Hotel.

It is situated at the foot of the world famous Sani Pass which links South Africa to the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. The pass can be dangerous and so a 4X4 and an experienced driver are essential.

The hotel is close to the towns of Underberg and Himeville, only a few hours from Durban by road.

For details about what the hotel offers go to the Sani Pass Hotel website.

Below are some pictures of the hotel and the surrounding area. 

The pictures were taken by a guest who has often stayed at the Hotel.

The Sani Pass Hotel is not just an overnight stop on the way to the Pass, it is a wonderful holiday destination in its own right. Enjoy the pictures.

Good News: If you have Google Earth, search for "Sani Pass, South Africa". The satelite pictures of the Hotel, its grounds and Golf course are really good. Enjoy!

Most of the pictures were taken during April 2009.

The chalets 

The chalets are right next to the hotel and part of it.

Tip: Book a chalet overlooking the bowling greens. The view is spectacular.

One of the many chalets overlooking the mountains.  

The front chalets have their own balconies.

Very quiet and peaceful.

The terrace in the late afternoon. 

The chalets start about 40 yards from the terrace.

Early morning next to the dining room. 

It takes less that a minute to walk from the chalets to the dining room and lounge.

The food is excellent and there is plenty of it!

The pool and entertainment/wellness center. 

If you come in the summer, the pool is very enjoyable.

Beautiful walks and hikes. 

A river that flows past and through parts of the golf course.

When the winter snow melts these rivers become dramatically swollen.

Twenty minutes walk downstream is a breath-taking waterfall.

Is there a hint of snow in the clouds over Lesotho?

The Sani Pass area has a genuine autumn "fall".

These trees were photographed in April just outside Underberg about half an hour from the hotel.
