ONLY GOOD VIBES
Our cozy common room area provides a laid-back environment in which to connect with fellow adventurers. It has been the starting point of many a great story, berg exploration and friendship. Whether you'd rather catch a tan next to the pool, kick back with something interesting from our book exchange, or simply sip a cold beer by the braai whilst the sun sets on another stunning African day, Sani Lodge Backpackers is the perfect setting. For those seeking a bit more, we have lovely self-catering cottages which are perfect for a family getaway or group of friends.

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

LESOTHO TOURS
Sani Lodge Backpackers is situated at the foot of the legendary Sani Pass. This places us a mere 16 km from the South African border with Lesotho. Drakensberg Adventures is our partner tour company which operates a variety of tours ideally suited to the backpacker's sense of adventure, itinerary and budget.
SO MUCH TO DO
Our fantastic location on the border of the Drakensberg World Heritage Site National Park means there is no shortage of outdoor activities on your doorstep. Some of the favorites are self guided hikes to crystal clear mountain waterfalls, Yoga with a view and fishing in what is a renowned trout fishing region. After all that exertion, why not treat yourself to a well deserved massage from a certified massage therapist in the comfort of your room.
GIANTS CUP CAFE
Our on site cafe offers a variety of affordable home made food, placing an emphasis on local produce from ethical sources. We offer comprehensive breakfast options, a daytime menu and a three course set menu dinner each night.
MAKING YOUR WAY HERE
Sani Lodge Backpackers is located 20 km from Underberg in the Southern Drakensberg. We are accessible to all vehicles by a tar / sealed road.
Our stay was amazing. We will be returning again.
