The Lesotho Highlands are formed by the Drakensberg and Maloti mountain ranges. This offers some of the best off-road conditions you will find anywhere in Southern Africa.No less than nine mountain passes with spectacular scenery draw avid off-roaders and mountain bikers to the mountain kingdom from all over the world. The annual Roof of Africa off-road bike race is a testament to the challenges available for the adventurous on two wheels or four.
Skiing in Lesotho is just another reason to visit this landlocked country. June through August is the best time to make the most of Lesotho’s high altitudes and freezing winter temperatures. The ski slopes are only 3 hours from the capital of Lesotho, Maseru, high in the Maluti mountains in the Oxbow area. One of only two resorts in Africa, Mahlesela Hill is the longest in Africa at 2km long.
Abseiling
Lesotho is a country for setting many records. While its average elevation puts it in the record books, it also has the highest single drop waterfall in Southern Africa. Located in Semonkong, which literally translates to “place of smoke” named after the billow of spray visible from afar.
Maletsunyane Falls also holds the Guinness World Record for the highest commercial abseil point in the world. The spectacular 204m drop attracts daredevils from around the world. This is adventure travel at it’s best.
A fascinating village of cave dwellings carved underneath towering rocks. Past generations of Basotho fled to these caves to hide from cannibals who inhabited the area. Descendants of the original people who built the caves still live there, much as their forefathers did almost two centuries ago.
The Katse Dam, high in the Maluti Mountains was constructed as part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project. It is the second largest dam in Africa. The Mohale Dam, at 145m it is the second-largest in Lesotho and the highest concrete-faced rock-filled dam in Africa. An entire mountain was crushed to build this dam.The dams are the perfect place for a tour. Take a canoe or pony ride. Have a picnic or enjoy the majesty of this modern engineering feat.
