{"product_id":"lesotho-sani-top-sani-mountain-escape","title":"Sani Mountain Escape","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou stay at Sani Mountain Escape atop the Sani Pass in Lesotho, at two thousand eight hundred and seventy-four meters — high enough that the air is thin and the stars are bright. The lodge is built in stone rondavels, traditional circular huts with thatched roofs, each with a fireplace against the mountain cold. Some sleep two, some sleep six; all have en-suite bathrooms with showers, and the larger ones have bunk beds for families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Highest Pub in Africa is here, serving Maluti beer and wood-fired pizzas to people who have climbed the pass by foot, by 4x4, or by motorcycle. The pub looks out over the Drakensberg escarpment, and the deck is the place to watch the sun set over the valley below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided hikes go out daily — four hours to Masoba-Soba viewpoint, nine to eleven to Thabana-Ntlenyana, the highest peak in Southern Africa. You can also ride Basotho ponies, the hardy local breed, on treks from fifteen minutes to five hours. The lodge is off-grid, generating its own power and conserving water, and the altitude means that hot water geysers sometimes freeze in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pass is the reason the lodge is here at all. It has been welcoming travelers for fifty years, and the pub has been pouring drinks for just as long.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lesotho","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932795535580,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/sani-mountain-escape-lodge-sani-pass-sani-top-lesotho-01.webp?v=1783214149","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/lesotho-sani-top-sani-mountain-escape","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
