Lesotho

Discover essential information about Lesotho

Lesotho is a small, landlocked kingdom entirely surrounded by South Africa. Remarkably, the entire country lies above 1,000 meters in elevation—making it the only country in the world with this distinction—earning it the name "Kingdom in the Sky." Its dramatic Drakensberg highlands are ideal for pony trekking, hiking, skiing, and experiencing the rich traditions of the Basotho people.
