Lesotho

Lesotho is an enclave country – completely surrounded by South Africa – and is the most Southern landlocked country in the world. Its largest town and capital is Maseru and is the main destination of most tourists visiting the kingdom. Lesotho is the most highly elevated country in the world, standing at 1400 m above sea level in elevation. For this reason, the kingdom of Lesotho is a popular destination amongst hikers and mountain climbers.

If however, mountain climbing doesn’t entice you this beautiful country, other activities such as horse riding and trekking, as well as bird watching and fishing are also popular. It is also a popular destination for cyclists, as they can train on mountains and be surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Due to the altitude, Lesotho remains cool throughout the year, regardless of its continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. Made up of mostly highlands, many of Lesotho’s villages are difficult to reach by road. Often horse-riding, trekking, or light aircrafts are the only means of reaching the smaller villages. Roads are however being built to make entering and leaving these small communities easier.

Lesotho is a relaxing paradise of mountains and bird life, promising to leave you relaxed and awe-struck by the majestic mountain ranges and views.
