MASERU: The Capital City of LESOTHO | 10 INTERESTING FACTS

Maseru, the largest city in Lesotho, is the capital of the Maseru District and is the only city. The name ‘Maseru’ is a Sesotho word meaning ‘red sandstones’. The city lies directly on the Lesotho-South Africa border, on the Caledon River. In the 2016 census, Maseru had a population of 330,760 people. Lying in a shallow valley at the foot of the Sehlabeng-Sa-Likhama foothills of the Maloti Mountains, Maseru has an area of about 138 square kilometers. In this video, we will discover 10 facts about this beautiful African city.

The border between Lesotho and South Africa is 909 kilometers long and forms a complete loop, as Lesotho is an enclave completely surrounded by South Africa. There are 11 fully functional road borders between South Africa and Lesotho. Maseru bridge is one of them. It is open 24hrs and is located in the town of Maseru which is in Lesotho. Passports are needed to enter Lesotho or go back to South Africa. They must be valid for a minimum of 6 months.

Other requirements(optional) are; Original vehicle registration papers, vehicle license papers, valid driver's license.
It is advised to have a red emergency triangle. You are not allowed to take plants out of the country. The toll fee for entering Lesotho is determined by the weight of your vehicle. Compulsory vaccinations should be taken for Yellow Fever only if coming into the country from an affected area. Recommended vaccinations include Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, Tetanus and Polio. All visitors must hold documents and tickets required for their return or onward journey and enough funds to cover their stay. Visitors who wish to stay longer than 14 days in the country, are expected to apply for extensions at the Lesotho Immigration Authorities within the initial 14 day period.

Lesotho’s parliament building is located on Mpilo Hill in Maseru. It was designed by China Northeast Architectural design and Research Institute and constructed by the China Yanjian Group. The parliament complex covers an area of 43,273 square meters. This includes a four storey building that houses the National Assembly offices, accessory buildings, parking lot, the debate chamber, open grounds, the reception checkpoint, and a retaining wall.

The parliament building opening coincided with a change in the Lesotho electoral system which introduced legislators chosen through a mixed-member proportional (MMP) representation. Due to the instability of the coalition governments, the building ended up being seen by most Basotho as the epitome of political dysfunction.

The building was inaugurated in 2012. The debate chamber roof is designed as a mokorotlo, the traditional Lesotho hat which is a distinctive national symbol. There are several hotels close to the magnificent building offering accommodation like, Avani Maseru Hotel, City Stay West, Scenery Guesthouse Stadium and Lapeng Ha Mamosa.

The Mokorotlo hat is a national symbol of Lesotho. This is a type of straw hat used for traditional Sotho clothing. It is made from an indigenous grass known as ‘leholi’ or ‘mosea’. An image of the Mokorotlo started appearing on Lesotho license plates as well as the country’s flag after independence. It is believed that the shape of the hat was inspired by Lesotho’s Mount Qiloane which has a conical shape. The hat is also known as ‘molianyeoe’ meaning, `he who executes judgment in court’ in Sesotho.

Adopted in the early 20th century, tribal chiefs began to wear the hat and sing a song called ‘mokorotlo’ at certain ceremonies. It was originally exclusively worn by males to gatherings. In 1950, new designs were made for women as well.

At Kingsway, Maseru, you will see a building shaped as a Basotho Hat. It offers a wide range of handicrafts like baskets and weavings produced in Lesotho. A very worthwhile stop in Lesotho to stock up on gifts and souvenirs. Free on-street parking is available in the area.

Tsoelike Pass, Lesotho - Mountain Passes of South Africa

This amazing and very steep (mainly) gravel pass descends steeply to the dual bridges over the Tsoelike River. The newer on is a concrete bridge already showing signs of flood damage, whilst the older, graceful suspension bridge spans the river well above the flood peak level, still stands intact and in surprisingly good condition, considering it was built in 1930 by German missionaries.

The pass is located in the southern quartile of Lesotho, fairly close to the border with South Africa. GPS S30.024641 E28.722584

The climb out to the northern side of the valley is much steeper and peppered with tight hairpins. The photo right at the end of the video puts it all into perspective.

Camping in LESOTHO, the kingdom in the sky | Overland Honeymoon: Ep. 5

Our trip continues through Lesotho - traveling from Thaba-Tseka to Katse Dam. We wild camped here, a few kilometers from the dam. It was a beautiful spot surrounded by water and corn fields.

The next day we traveled to Marakabei Lodge. We had the braai area for ourselves, wood, and clean bathrooms to use. The lodge dog and the cat kept us entertained while we enjoyed a rainy but lovely night's stay.

The next day we drove over the Mohale Dam. Clear skies made flying the drone possible, and capturing that view while we went over was STUNNING.

After a picnic next to the Jordan River and a wrong turn over a beautiful mountain pass, we finally made it to our 19th camp spot at Maluti Stay Lodge. In episode six, we head out to our final destination in Lesotho - SEMONKONG.

Quick Guide to Lesotho: Visa-free travel for South Africans

While most visitors to Africa come to view our rich wildlife and get a feel of our hot climate, the Kingdom of Lesotho offers a unique African climate for all travellers to enjoy

Lesotho, meaning the land of the people who speak Sesotho, was previously known as Basutoland.

Enclaved by South Africa and sharing the Drakensberg mountain range and highlands with our country, Lesotho is one of the few African countries boasting a winter wonderland under African skies.

No matter what the weather may be, this country offers holidaymakers remote countryside, varied natural landscapes and unique cultural heritage to explore.

Here's a look at this unique, high-altitude African destination and what you need to know should you want to visit:

Biker Boys - Lesotho Weekend

An adventurous weekend traveling on motorbikes and a car from Maseru to Thabatseka where we had an overnight stop and caught the rugby match that South Africa won against Wales. We also learnt about nyatsis, chocho and matakwan. Then from Thabatseka to Sani Hotel and down the legendary Sani Pass. Much fun was had. A lot of rough windy roads, whiskey and mountains. I hope you enjoy.
