Lesotho

Where towering mountains meets dinosaur fossils deep in the ground

Lumela, and I hope you’ve brought your hiking boots. Lesotho is one of the most beautiful alpine countries in the world, unique in all of Africa. With a local Besotho guide, resplendent in multicoloured balaclava, you’ll explore the highlands of this rarely visited country on the back of a Basotho pony. There’s a snake park where you can spot huge anacondas, local crafts, and beautiful villages to explore, but the mountains will always be your main reason to visit. So whether you enjoy exploring the Ha Kome Cave houses, or want to find dinosaur footprints down by the Subeng River, VISIT LESOTHO!
