Discover Lesotho the Mountain Kingdom of Africa | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Lesotho is a small landlocked country nestled between the Drakensberg and Maloti mountain ranges and it is completely surrounded by South Africa. Officially a Kingdom, previously known as Basutoland, and a place that we left with the regret of not staying for longer.
Green valleys, sharp mountains, rivers, nature reserves and several national parks make Lesotho a natural wonder worth exploring by any traveler. We were surprised to learn that this country is one of the 3 remaining Kingdoms in Africa (the others being Morocco and Swaziland) even though it declared independence from the United Kingdom on 4 October 1966.
The name Lesotho stands for “mountain kingdom” and that’s not a surprise as nearly ⅔ of the country consists of mountains. This country is also the proud owner of the highest low point in the world which is estimated at 1,400 meters above sea level.
Enjoy the video!

In this episode I take you to the the Sky Kingdom of Lesotho, the highest country in Africa. This country has the highest low point on earth.
The entire country is 1000 meters above sea level. It's located about 7 hours drive south of Johannesburg and 5 hours west of Durban. For the next 72 hours I am going to be showing you what to see and do in Lesotho!
This is Semonkong the horse capital of Lesotho. It's located in the central part of the country. Right now we are going to walk around the market and buy a typical beanie follow me. Follow me lets go shopping!
After a bit of a negotiating I got three for 100 Rand. The beanies are made out of wool and it's the most traditional thing you can buy.
Welcome to Semonkong Lodge! If you're looking to explore central Lesotho this is the place to stay. They have a restaurant, 25 rooms and they are very close to Maletsunyane Fall's the highest single drop waterfall in the southern hemisphere. You can go pony trekking and explore Semonkong.
Next up we head to Maliba Lodge on the northern side of Lesotho. They have 6 chalets and 4 river chalets. A few different activities you can do in the area are horseback riding, village tour and a massage. They have heated floors, beds and wife.
We head out on horseback for a two hour trek in the mountains of Tsehlanyane National Park. After an incredible trek we head to the near by village of Hamadi to experience local life. At the local bar I tried some Lesotho beer which was bitter but traditional :)

Lesotho Daily Life
Lesotho (le-soo-too), officially known as the Kingdom of Lesotho is a mountainous, landlocked country surrounded by the Republic of South Africa. The first settlers were Bantu speaking people who called themselves the Basotho.
Beautiful, culturally rich, safe, and easily accessible from Johannesburg, Lesotho is a vastly underrated tourist destination. In comparison to South Africa, Lesotho's Basotho people are unique in culture, along with the highland terrain, which is a topographical extreme. The country's hospitable mountain lodges and trading posts will give travelers a refreshing perspective of Southern Africa.
Lesotho is essentially an alpine country, where villagers on horseback in multi-coloured balaclavas and blankets tread precipitous terrain. The hiking and trekking is often made on a famed Basotho pony, in order to enjoy the world class infrastructure of its three stunning national parks.
The 1000m-high lowlands offer craft shopping and sights, but don't miss a trip to the southern, central or northeastern highlands, where streams traverse ancient ground where dinosaurs flourished.
From Lesotho, we journey to a nearby fishing village just beyond the kingdom's peripheries, near Johannesburg.

Lesotho Mountains & South African Plains
In January 2020 we flew into Johannesburg looking for advneture. We visited our friends in Lesotho for a week and then spent the rest or our time as tourists in South Africa.
We witnessed breathtaking views, made new friends, ate lots of meat, saw some incredible wildlife, experienced gastro with our friends (bonding experience for sure) explored quaint towns, ate more meat, played with the local children, and hiked mountains.
Definitely one of our favourite places in the world! Can't wait to do it again.
Lesotho - Into undiscovered Land (2017) / AWARD WINNING VLOG / S01E03 #maximaCOMEPASS
After we had spent our first week as world travellers in South Africa, it was time for a little excursion to Lesotho. Lesotho is a country that we did not really know it existed and much less, where it is located until we started to plan our world tour. For some reason, we wanted to visit it and discovered an undiscovered land that we totally fell in love with.

The Highest Country in the World - Lesotho| South Africa Day 9
9/23/18 We crossed from South Africa into the country of Lesotho. We stopped to buy some food and water at the Pick N Pay mall location in Maseru and also grabbed some Barcelos to go. The roads to the Ha Kome caves were too questionable, so we ended up just going to get checked in at our airbnb. Our host literally hopped in the car with us, and we all went to see the Subeng Dinosaur Footprints. I was definitely feeling overwhelmed by the end of the day!

Lesotho is Crazy Beautiful
I'm on Instagram at
Lesotho is crazy spectacular. It's just one of those countries that suits me. It's full of incredible mountains, and lots of rugged landscape. There's this wild freedom to the country that just grabbed me right away.
But, Lesotho is also a challenge; especially as a photographer. There are so many amazing things to see and photograph in the country, but it's a bit of a challenge finding ways to properly photograph them. There's very little tourism infrastructure, and even the roads don't really have places that you can safely pull over to make photos.
Still, there is this energy to Lesotho that I really love. It has me back to feeling really good about travel. It has my spirits back up, and has me excited to explore. Lesotho even has me excited for a bit of mis-adventure, and I got some. On my second day driving around, I smashed into a rock and bent the rim of my tire. Luckily, I got some help and eventually continued on my way.
I ended the day at a place in Lesotho called Semonkong. I came here to photograph a waterfall called Maletsunyane. It's the number one reason I came to the country, and though it would be even more spectacular if the water levels were higher, it's still impressive.
Places to Visit and Things to Do in Lesotho

South Africa & Lesotho - Good Moments
Good moments in Africa and Lesotho representing much that Southern Africa has to offer: (pre)history, nature, culture and country life.
Alma is a small town situated south of Vaalwater in the Limpopo province of South Africa. The area is surrounded by green-gray bushveld vegetation and a few private game reserves are located in the malaria free area.
Marakele National Park is part of the Waterberg Biosphere in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Marakele is home to the big five as well as sixteen species of antelopes and over 250 species of birds.
The UNESCO listed Cradle of Humankind, about 50 km northwest of Johannesburg, contains a complex of limestone caves. The Sterkfontein Caves were the site of the discovery of a 2.3-million-year-old fossil Australopithecus africanus. Nearby, the Rising Star Cave system contains the Dinaledi Chamber in which fifteen fossil skeletons of an extinct species of hominin were discovered. However, ccording to existing archaeological and fossil evidence, the genuine Cradle of Humankind is the Afar Triangle in East Africa.
The Pilanesberg Game Reserve, located north of Rustenburg, has a rich array of southern African wildlife including the Big Five. Most of the animal species of southern Africa live in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve today, including lions, elephants, black rhinos, white rhinos, Cape buffaloes, leopards, cheetahs, Hartmann's mountain zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles and the Cape wild dog. Over 360 bird species were counted. The Pilanesberg is not in a location which the Big Five animals would naturally inhabit, however they have been brought into the 550 square kilometers of African bushland.
Hartbeespoort, the collective name of a few smaller towns situated around the Hartbeespoort Dam, is popular with visitors from the nearby Gauteng Province.
Krugersdorp is a mining city in the West Rand.
The bronze sculpture of former President of South Africa and anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela can be found on the Union Buildings grounds in Pretoria.
Potchefstroom is an academic city in the North West Province of South Africa.
Mtubatuba is a town north of Richards Bay close to the entrance of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park in KwaZulu-Natal.
The dinosaur footprints at Subeng are embedded in a sandstone slab in a small stream and rank among the most important sites of its type in Lesotho. Discovered in 1955, Subeng incorporates the footprints of at least three and possibly as many as six different species of dinosaur, some with five toes on their feet, and others with three.
