Full Day Sani Pass -The Southern Drakensberg, bordering with the East Griqualand area, is a world of majestic scenery and solitude. A landscape of cliffs and forested river valleys, rolling farmland and vast tracts of unspoiled wilderness. The mountains also contain thousands of Bushman rock painting sites, evidence of the small, primitive San people who practiced a prehistoric life style in the area long ago. The earliest of these paintings are about 800 years old, and the golden age of the painters was between 400 and 200 years ago. The paintings are mainly of people, their equipment and animals, wild and domestic. Wild flower enquiry
