Welcome to Lesotho
Next time you visit Southern Africa, include Lesotho in your itinerary.
Some 80% of Lesotho lies above 1800m, with the highest point at 3482m, so it’s no wonder it’s known as the Mountain Kingdom. It’s a place of steep passes, clear streams and waterfalls, tiny rustic settlements of stone and thatch rondavels clinging to the mountainsides, and blanketed shepherds watching their flock.
There are so many Lesotho attractions and fun things to do in Lesotho that I’d recommend you don’t try to cover too much distance each day; rather leave time at points of interest to make the most of activities in the area.
Below are some of our favourites.
