Nestled in the valley below the famous Sani Pass, Ripon Farm views the winding road up into Lesotho and on clear nights the Sani Top Chalet is visible on the skyline. The homestead is flanked by two generous, self-catering cottages situated on a north-facing slope with spectacular views of the Berg. While Ripon is a working farm, guests can walk freely amongst the Nguni herd (and stroke a tame calf) on the 187ha extent. Two farm dams with bass fishing are available and rods can be hired on site. The views of The Giants Cup and Sani Valley, within the uKhahlamba Maloti Drakensberg Park, are truly spectacular. We are living off the grid and are not affected by any load shedding interruptions. All our energy is green energy from solar panels. We can assist with booking of tours to Sani Pass as well as professional Birding Tours with an experienced guide. The Underberg area is an ideal Mountain Biking and Trail Running play ground, and guests have free access to the incredible Sani Spoors mountain bike trails. Visit their website for more information. Long quiet gravel district roads also provide ideal training roads for cyclists and runners. Himeville Museum is highly rated and a pleasant outing.
