Have a drink at the highest pub in Africa

The "highest pub in Africa" is located in the clouds at the summit of the Sani Pass (2,874 meters above sea level). A beer can be had, and you may even spend the night in the sky. Even though getting there is a hassle, once you arrive, you will enjoy one of the most well-earned cocktails of your life. The highest pub in Africa, Sani Mountain Pass Bar offers nothing less than an epic drinking experience. Even though it takes some effort to get there, once you do, you'll be enjoying one of the most well-earned beverages of your life while gazing down at the pass from which you just came and eager to leave and explore more of the surrounding area. Having said that, the pub has other intriguing features besides its elevation.

You could notice the surrounding air becoming a little foggy and wet as you and your group finish your cocktails and discuss the mountain adventures you'll be having the following day. It's possible that when the clouds roll in, they will surround the lodge rather than just hover over it. You are literally above the clouds where you are. But because of this, it's strongly advised to drink moderately. If you've ever indulged in a few drinks while skiing, you're probably already aware of the negative effects of drinking at high altitudes. Basically, the amount of time it takes to feel buzzed at sea level is reduced by half by the time you reach 10,000 feet. After only one drink at the Sani Mountain Lodge, even experienced drinkers could feel a little queasy.

But at least you'll be satisfied because the lodge has a chef who makes hearty high-altitude meals in the bar to keep you grounded, including lamb stew and mountain sausages. Simply arrange to be driven up or down if you have a reservation at the lodge. During the colder months, the cozy bar offers homemade "glühwein," and delicious lunches can be had for as little as R55 ($3.5).
