Higjland Drinks and Birds in Africa: Lesotho

Just Beyond Sani Pass, Lesotho

As we climbed up to the Sani Pass, we passed through Lesotho immigration and crossed from South Africa into neighbouring Lesotho. Just across the border is the famous Sani Top Chalet, the highest pub in Africa. The back veranda of the pub provides great food and great birding, we watched a pair of Drakensberg Rockjumpers bounding around behind the pub, a Sentinel Rock-Thrush standing to attention on the roofs of the round Lesothan houses, and observed Drakensberg Siskins hopping around on rocks behind the chalet. Cape Buntings sang from boulders alongside the pub, while deeper into Lesotho we found the rare endemic Mountain Pipit performing display flights, and found a small group of Southern Grey Tits.
