About Underberg

Underberg, deep in the southern Berg near Lesotho, is your jumping-off point for the legendary Sani Pass, a proper 4x4 route that climbs all the way up to the highest pub in Africa. Get there via the R617 through Bulwer or the R56 from Kokstad way. Popping to Himeville, just 6 km down the road, is an everyday run, while trips from Ladysmith or as far as Heilbron show how far people travel for this Berg getaway. One fast EV charger keeps things sorted for the trip.
