Leia Travels took a journey up Sani Pass, wrapped up in a Basotho blanket, enjoyed a drink at 2,874 metres, and reminded us that Lesotho is always worth slowing down for.

Thank you to Leia for visiting Sani Mountain Escape and sharing this beautiful video from the Highest Pub in Africa.

There is something special about seeing this place through a travellerโ€™s eyes: the winding road, the mountain air, the cold at altitude, the views, and that feeling of being Above It All.

Give Lesotho a chance. Come for the pass, stay for the mountain moments.
