The legendary Sani Pass stretches between South Africa and Lesotho. Embark on this challenging & rocky journey with me solo on a fully loaded motorbike.
Today I'm heading to the legendary Sunny Pass and I'll be crossing to Lesotho today
So this is the sign from this point onwards only four by four vehicles are allowed
That of course includes chili so it should be fun ride let's do it
How you going?
I can clearly see how this road can go really badly on a wet day
So don't do it when it rains for sure
So I guess this is the border, South African border, passport check and all
Right here?
Hello, morning
How are you?
Boat from the border up it's a bit different there's no roadworks anymore but it's
More narrow and rocky here
And I've got around five k's to go to the top of the Sunny Pass and apparently here
From now on the road will be much harder and and just rough and twisty so let's see
All right let's do it let's do the last bit chili behave everything is under control
Rocky road take me home to the place I belong
How's my singing?
It relaxes me
Wow this is pretty
I just don't like these clouds
It can't right now
It's supposed to be sunny all day
Oh
Okay I'm very
What I've got a new suspension
You know what on a road like this the most important thing is
Just keep going
I need to see how the corner goes
Bloody hell look at this
I'm here
Oh wow
What's your name?
Kinga
Okay I'll be honest I'm really tired
I think there's like this one and the next one and then I should be out hopefully
Pretty but tough lots of sharp corners and big rocks lucky I've got the weather
The only thing about it is lots of cars coming
Down
So I'm stopping every now and then to let them go
Are we there yet?
Good
Waiting for yeah
No, no, no need break
It's good
I think I've got one, two
Should be
I should finish soon
Stop
Don't scratch my bike
Good waiting for the cars to come down
Lots of you coming down today
Are you going down also?
Up
But you did a wonderful job because you are here
I know it's been a tough ride
Most people they just fall as down as the South African board
Have a nice time
See you
Bye
This is hard work
Okay this is worst case scenario
The bike is
Down
And it's
Downhill
This is going to be very tough
Tough one to actually lift it up
Yay!
I'll actually stop for a picture and I dropped it
But it's sort of downhill so it's hard for me to
To pick it up
It's down, it's on
Yeah, yeah it's on
Just a second hold on I'll help you
Get ready
All right
Ready?
Okay
If you don't mind hold it for a second
Sit down
Okay
Now
The car is coming
You're a legend!
Thank you so much
I wouldn't pick it up by myself because it was sort of like being downhill
But I made it!
This is a tall sign
Oh there it is
Made it!
So pretty
