We ( Nissan Club) are trying to arrange a trip up Sani, to Afriski, and down to Clarens for a long weekend trip.

We did this.... well tried to last year, but All the passes and many roads in SA around the area was closed due to snow!! This year we are looking at Underberg to Sani Pass, up to Sani top and have lunch. Then drive to Afriski area ( still checking regarding accommodation in the area - Afriski way out on pricing), then next day play in the snow at Afriski, sleep somewhere nearby and then drive down to Clarens for breakfast and drive home later.
Regards
Cedric

Yes I would also like to go. I have been on RSG4x4Klub's event but did not realy enjoyed it because of too many vehicles (35). Well I loved it but SWAMBO wanted to take photos but everything was too rushed. This is their itinerary for this year http://www.rsg4x4klub.co.za/Lesotho%202013.html

Cedric,

Do you think it will realize this year? I really do hope so. It sounded like you and Grant had heaps of fun.
I would really like to go with. Count me in.

Cheers.

Schalk,

Yes a similar one, but not mine. There is a tour company that operates out of Underberg that has about 6 of them. I saw them parked at the top, by the pub.
