What you can expect

Day 1Pickup at Maseru airport and be transferred to Lodge. After lunch at lodge a local guide will take you on a +- 3 hours horse riding to view San Rock Art Paintings. Arrival back at Lodge in time for local dancing and the local band, which have hand-made instruments. Dinner back at Lodge.

Day 2 – 6-7 hrs.
After signing the indemnity forms and getting your helmets whist the guides strap your bags to the packhorses, you will be given a short briefing about how to ride the horses. The terrain is rough with a steep descent, river crossing and steep ascent and once you’re on top of the first valley, the going gets easier. After a few hours, you will get a chance to rest and have a picnic lunch and then it’s only a few more hours to the village, your first overnight stop. The Falls have been in full view for the last hour, and we are looking forward to seeing them from close up.
Overnight: Rural Village – village huts.

Day 3- (6 – 7 hrs.)
This morning is a tough uphill where you go from 1850 metres to 2600 metres via the top of the Falls. We stop here for a break and to admire the view. This pass was aptly named “Slide Your Ass” by the Roof of Africa Rally bikers, which was part of the route until, because of the erosion, it became suicidal impossible to negotiate. it is practically downhill all the way for about three hours, to (Georgina’s village) where you will overnight. In the afternoon, you can do a short hike to view the Waterfall and Gorge, a 122m drop – about 2 hrs.
Overnight: Rural Village – village huts.

Day 4 - (6 hrs.)
World Record the other fall. This is the longest commercially operated single-drop abseil in the world as stated by Guinness World Records. (204m). Today is a gentle ride/hike via the spectacular Falls. The Falls is 204 metre high – the highest single drop falls in South Africa. You can order drinks from the bar and good, wholesome food from the restaurant.
Overnight: Lodge – en-suite lodge accommodation and Hot showers-WOW!

Day 5- (5 hrs.)
After a hearty breakfast and collecting our packed lunches, we head back to the village. The route is spectacular – even if it’s the same route, you experience different views pony trekking in a different direction. Georgina welcomes us back to the village.
Overnight: Rural Village – village huts.

Day 6 - (6hrs).
The ride takes about 6 hours. It’s an easy ride as you the route takes you along the top of the mountains.
Overnight: Rural Village – village huts.

Day 7- (7hrs).
PLEASE NOTE: When the Makhaleng River is in flood, we have to use the bridge which will add about 2 hours to the ride. You descend into the Valley of Paradise, where you are welcomed with hot showers and the comforts of the Lodge. You can enjoy a hearty home cooked meal and much camaraderie round the fire in the evening. Paradise Pass (2001m).
Overnight: Guest Lodge.

Day 8- (Depending on departure flight!).
Depart Lodge after breakfast, for Maseru airport.
