We took our American Family to Sani Lodge, on our travels around South Africa, as one of them wanted to experience a "BackPackers" Well what a lovely surprise.

We stayed 3 nights in camping in Sani lodge, and thought the place was just marvelous. A well equipped kitchen, good grass for the camping, great hiking trails just out the door, nice atmosphere and the fattest cat we have ever seen... Its a bit off the track, and the closest shop is 20 km away, so having a car... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and had pre-booked a package that included accomodation in a thatched cottage, all meals including packed lunch and two all day excursions with guide. Good value for £160 each. Watching the sun set over the Drakensberg with a beer in hand was something else. Meals were served in the local cafe by friendly staff... More

We stayed in Sani Lodge in July 2012. Have to say, it was the best place we stayed at in S.A. aside from tenting it in Kruger. Mathew was our guide, he was easily one of the nicest and most sincere people we met. Really great guide. Met some lovely lovely backpackers. The people operating the hostel were so helpful... More

A real top-quality backpackers. Comfortable, basic, accommodation, interesting people, lots of information, well-run - by a helpful lady called Scholar - and good location.

Behind a wall there was a rather basic but clean bathroom with hot shower. It didnt have a door so there was... More

Honestly, nothing to complain about. Tranquil setting, relaxed, informative, comfortable, clean. Would definately stay again! Wonderful veranda for sipping coffee or wine overlooking sani pass. Perfect location for hikes

Set in the picturesqueness Drakensberg, this backpacker offers everything you want and more! Very comfy beds, a warm communal area, plenty of showers and 3 levels of hikes on the doorstep. A stones throw away from the Sani Pass and Lesotho. I would recommend this place to anyone!
