Overview

Lesotho

It is so small that it is easily forgotten! Lesotho covers 11,583 sq mi in the southeast of Southern Africa. Independent since 1966, it has come a long way! The whole country is about 3,280 ft above sea level. Hikers love trekking along the Maluti chain to end at the peak of Thabana Ntlentyana, the highest point in Southern Africa.

pros

  •  Its untouched, wild nature offers you spectacular views.
  •  ? It is possible to swim in the rivers (there is no risk of bilharziasis as there are no flatworms in the water).

cons

  •  Mountain footpaths are unmarked: a compass and a map are essential when you go hiking.
  •  There is no railway network in the country.

Lesotho Lesotho, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

If you wish to camp close to a village, or take pictures, politely seek the village Chief's authorisation (which is generally easy to do).
Do not miss pony trekking; the ponies tread very smoothly over steep ridges and they're very docile and gentle, even with the worst riders!
