There is a border post on the SA side

Did you need passports for this trip ?

Yes you do at the SA border post, the road is okay up to this point.
There is nothing on the Lesotho side which can sometime make it difficult getting out again
if you run into an official with an attitude.

Jislaaikit!!!  :drif:

Thanks for sharing!

I am always amaized that so many riders make a big hype about Sani-pass ( it is stunning however ), yet they forget that there are a number of other awesome passes in Lesotho that rarely gets mentioned.

Ongeluks-nek is a good example as well as the pass up Ramatsiliso, the awesome Matebeng-pass and Jockstrap-pass to name a few.

Thanks for the ride report, Ongeluksnek can become a nightmare in the mud :thumleft:

Howzit Seb and the rest, just let me know when you want to come through, I am quite flexible and allways looking for an excuse to ride.

Can give you special rates in my Hotel, of course no obligation to stay with me.

Put your knoppiestyres on and let me know.

Sorry about the off's Stuart but at least it goes with a nice story.

Sorry about the off's Stuart but at least it goes with a nice story.

They were just fall overs but one was at a  bit of speed and the bike got hurt.
But now it's fixed. Welded up the spot bracket, made up a new plastic bracket the chain guard.
The rest was just loosen and straighten.
The DR650 is low tech just needs a shifting spanner and a hammer to fix.
Next trip end of April is a big one down to the Cape, lots of bucket list items to tick off there.

Thanks for all the info. Going past Lake Letsie in April and was looking for some confirmation that we could camp next to the lake. Looks like such an awesome spot

The two grandpa's did it today!
RR to follow when home.
The rain washed the sand from the rocks, so plenty dongas and spinning!
You need big brass ones for it at present.
We picked the bikes up plenty.
