Lesotho is a country with one of the highest altitudes in the entire world and exploring this country is not only exciting but also quite thrilling. While you are in Lesotho, here are some things you can do to make lasting memories.
If you love the idea of enjoying a chilled beer sitting at a pub that is enthusiastic and lively, you will love the Sani Top. The winding gravel road leading to the top is only for 4x4 vehicles and it is not an easy drive as you will climb 1500m in less than 20 minutes.
Lesotho may be small, but it is full of adventure, and if you are someone who likes to drive, you should take on the adventure of driving down the winding roads of Lesotho. While this may seem enticing, it is definitely not a location for a speedy driving test when you are driving in the Mountain Kingdom.
If you are fascinated by dinosaurs, you will love exploring the dinosaur footprints in Lesotho. Due to the number of dino footprints in the country, there is even a dinosaur named after the country, the Lesothosaurus Diagnosticus, which is said to be an omnivorous lizard that is about 2 metres long.
Being a landlocked country, Lesotho does not have a coastal area and waterfalls are its main waterbodies. The Maletsunyane is a major attraction as it is a stunning 204-metre-high waterfall. If you love hiking, you can make your way to the top, but this is not an easy trek.
No matter where you are staying, be it at Avani Lesotho Hotel & Casino or any other property, you should make time for Semonkong as this is one of the main things to do in Lesotho. The location is filled with different activities that you can try. For example, you can go hiking, mountain climbing, trekking, ride on a pony, go biking, and enjoy nature in many different ways.
The dam in Katse is a beautiful creation and one that you must visit when you are in Katse. It is 185 metres in height and supplies hydropower to Lesotho and South Africa. This is a double-curved dam, which means the dam is curved from top to bottom as well as left to right.
This garden is worth your time when you are in Katse. You will be able to see the Lesotho National Flower, which is a Spiral Aloe, and so many other plants and even a rock garden.
Located about 25 kilometres from Maseru, the capital of Lesotho, is the UNESCO Heritage Site Thaba Bosiu. It is considered the birthplace of the Basotho nation, which is unaffected by modern development and technology.
The Sehlabathebe National Park, which is located in the Maloti Mountains located towards southeast of Lesotho, is not an easy location to get to. But when you do, you will be rewarded with a stunning view.
