Molumong Village Hiking Tours
Hike through spectacular mountain terrain from village to village without having to carry a backpack
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
These hikes can be 2, 3 or 4 day trips. They follow the same pattern as our Molumong Pony treks, but instead of riding, you traverse from village to village on footpaths. Since accommodation and food is provided in all villages, you only need to carry the bare minimum of luggage in a large day pack, making this an option for those not wanting to carry a large pack or pay for portered-type hikes. Enjoy soaring mountain scenery, picturesque and remote villages and friendly Basotho people! Open a window into a rich traditional lifestyle.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Experience Fair Trade in Tourism in action. Your tour price includes a contribution to the Sani Top Basotho community. Our ground-breaking approach to grass-roots tourism means that your tour price directly benefits a wide segment of the local community, preserving cultural dignity and ensuring fair remuneration for services rendered. “Sani Lodge is the Silver Award Winner of African Responsible Tourism Award for Poverty Reduction 2018. Sani Lodge and Drakensberg Adventures in the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa has made a major contribution to local livelihoods and poverty reduction over many years. By involving Basotho stakeholders, they have created opportunities for communities to proudly showcase their unique cultural practices, engaging with guests in an authentic manner, thereby earning their respect. They are the future of tourism in Africa". ~ Judges The Landrover is the vehicle which pioneered the Sani Pass back in the 1950's and 60's. We believe that for an authentic Sani Pass experience, it must be in one of our Landrovers!!
