Experiences around Lesotho
The ultimate Wild Coast & Lesotho
The Kingdom of Lesotho is an enclaved country surrounded entirely by South Africa. 2 million people call this 30 355 km2 home. They speak Sesotho and English and the capital city is called Maseru. Lesotho is a kingdom high in the sky. The entire country is higher than 1000m above sea level! Snowy mountain tops in the cold winters and the summer thunderstorms in the warm summer, make this is a most special travel destination.
A bird enthusiast’s paradise, there are known to be 339 bird species in Lesotho, including 10 globally threatened species. And of course, Lesotho is where the Basotho pony finds its origins. The Basotho pony is a fearless and fast horse, still used to trek through the mountains.
Lesotho is a fascinating country, with many of her people still living in traditional houses and traditional dress, the Basotho Blanket, worn by men and women. Some of the most fantastic homestays can be found here, with friendly and kind families welcoming you into their homes. Lesotho is the best destination for multiple day hikes, pony treks and adventure.

South Africa is often described as a Rainbow Nation, the phrase used by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela. It reflects on the many beautiful skin colours and cultures one would find when travelling through South Africa. Not just in our people you will find a rainbow, also in our landscape. Our soil is the most gorgeous deep red colour, our sunset the most beautiful hues of orange and pink, the fruit on the trees is yellow, our rolling hills any shade of green, blue is the colour of our two oceans, our birds are the most amazing colour of indigo blue and our Jacaranda trees make our cities covered in violet petals everywhere you look. There is indeed no place like it on earth.
