This tour will take you through the 8 mountain passes that is part of the New England Wartrail and borders right against Lesotho. Our country holds very beautiful areas, but this is a tour that everyone has to experience at least once in their lifetime. We’re sure that you will fall in love with this place. Although we will be traveling a total of 1550kms, it’s not even going to feel that much. All accommodation (inside lodges or guesthouse with nice and soft beds), breakfast and dinners have been catered for. You will be responsible for your own cool drinks, alcohol and snacks during the day. We will be stopping along the routes each day so there will be ample time for taking photos, stretching legs and taking in the beautiful scenery this area has to offer. During the day’s we will also indicate where the petrol/diesel stops will be, and it is recommended to fill up during these times.
