Lesotho Holidays
Lesotho is a high-altitude country, where villagers on horseback in multicoloured balaclavas and blankets greet you. The 1000m-high ‘lowlands’ offer craft shopping and sights, but don’t miss a trip to the southern, central or north eastern highlands, where streams cross.
Lesotho offers a very different travel experience, with its natural beauty, rich flora and fauna, and captivating prehistoric and cultural heritage. Mountains, valleys, and rivers provide memorable scenery for travellers.
Basotho are a nation that has solid traditions, beliefs and customs. The annual Morija arts festival portrays the rich culture and celebrations that Lesotho is truly proud of. If you want to be part of these celebrations you will be welcomed with smiling faces. And in the villages, you will be offered the traditional porridge — Motoho. Come and experience a wealth of savoury food, natural attractions, and reserves.
