About the area
Underberg is situated in the Southern Drakensberg far west of Kwa Zulu-Natal. From mountains to sparkling clean rivers and lakes and prolific birdlife, natural beauty abounds! Any visit to the Southern Drakensberg would be incomplete without a memorable 4x4 adventure up the world famous Sani Pass. Sani Pass is the only road link between KwaZulu-Natal and the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho and the only road that crosses the summit of the high Drakensberg. In summer wild flowers splash the road margins with colour and in winter iced falls sparkle under brilliant skies.
