01
HOW’S THE VIEW?
Lesotho offers incredible natural beauty and scenic splendour, as well as friendly hospitality and fascinating history. It’s a wonderfully uplifting country — quite literally. In fact, you’ll often find yourself at altitudes in excess of 3000m above sea level!
02
AN INCREDIBLE LANDSCAPE FILLED WITH INCREDIBLE PEOPLE
Within Lesotho’s borders are approximately 2.5 million people, incredible mountains, and some of the best winter and summer leisure opportunities available on the African continent. The Basotho people — often clad in blankets and gumboots — have an uncanny knack for appearing magically, and so too do their smiles.

We (father/daughter) stayed at Backpackers, very economical. Clean and practical accommodation. The staff from the entrance Gate, reception, lift and restaurant were exemplary. Looks like they really appreciate the clientele. It's amazing to have this opportunity within 5 hrs of driving from Johannesburg.

Enjoyed great food and entertainment at the Sky Restaurant, the highest in Africa. It was cold, but that's to be expected! All in all, I had a great time with the family! An excellent alternative to going to a ski resort overseas!
