Lesotho’s appeal to travellers lies in its mountain ranges and rivers which are sights worth capturing. This country in the South African region is often admired for its natural resources and is popular among nature lovers as a travel destination.
Travelling
Getting around the country from hotels in Lesotho is not as simple as it sounds. While you may be lodged at Avani Lesotho Hotel & Casino, the land’s elevated nature and potholes may make the journey around a bumpy one, regardless of a fine carpeted road. The further inwards one travels from the country, the more rugged the roads become as they may still be under construction.
History and Geographical positioning
A weekend in the mountain range of Lesotho deserves a glimpse into the country’s history and geographical positioning. Picture the inner circle of a doughnut; this is Lesotho, encircled entirely by South Africa. Therefore, the country’s history is closely tied to that of South Africa. Due to its high altitude, Lesotho sits at least one mile above sea level.
A Visit to a Village
Semonkong village is an old-fashioned village that appreciates the simple way of living. While the locals will be dressed in traditional attire in this little village, you are likely to discover them riding on horseback, while children play around with sheep and cows, away from modern civilisation, appreciating the simplicity of life.
A Stunning Waterfall
A weekend in Lesotho will not be complete without a visit to one of its stunning waterfalls. Semonkong stands out as the provider of one of the most ideal abseiling spots in the world at a height of 204 metres. This adrenaline-rushing experience can be savoured right next to the largest single-drop waterfall in Africa, Malesunyane Falls.
