South Africa’s DRAGONS MOUNTAIN 🏔 [S5 - Eps. 13]

In this episode I intend to ride from Howick to Sani Pass. But, the day turns out differently. Very differently!! Instead of attempting to scale Sani Pass, I find myself on horseback, galloping towards the 'Drakensberg', or the Dragons Mountain. This is just another slice of South African paradise for you!
