Southern Drakensberg & Lesotho

 We arrived at our campsite on the farm Khutso late afternoon on 26th May. This is a working farm, but it has a nice secluded campsite & we were the only people here during our four night stay.

The next day we visited the lower reaches of Sani Pass, up to the SA Border Post. It proved to be a frustrating morning, as we spotted a Forest Buzzard, but we failed to get a photo! Then we spent a long time looking & eventually finding a Barratt's Warbler. I glimpsed the bird twice, but Delana failed to get on to it & it would have been a new bird for her! The afternoon was spent in camp.

The big day dawned. It was the 28th May & the day we drove up the Sani Pass & into Lesotho. The drive is a 4x4 track, with a few switchbacks & sheer drops. We stopped several times along the way.
