Enveloped by South Africa, Lesotho is the only country situated entirely above 1,000 m, earning it the nickname ‘Kingdom in the Sky’. Despite being nestled between Durban and Bloemfontein, this country within a country still marches to the beat of its own drum, with the Basotho Village showcasing Lesotho’s strong cultural identity. One way to take in the traditions of the locals is to join a highland trek on a Basotho pony, where you’ll pass by typical rondavels (round huts with a cone-shaped roof) and endless rolling countryside. Be sure to take in the stunning sight of Maletsunyane Falls near Semonkong – the highest waterfall in southern Africa. The country is also famous for its ancient sights, such as centuries-old rock paintings and dinosaur footprints in areas near Moyeni and Morija. Apart from hiking, you can enjoy canoeing and adventurous 4x4 excursions, as well as skiing in Oxbow in the winter season. The best selection of hotels and guest houses can be found in the capital city of Maseru, so its best to make this your base when you stay.

Guest review
I had an exceptionally pleasant stay at this hotel in Maseru. The location is excellent, situated in a very nice area, which made the overall experience even more enjoyable.
What truly stood out was the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. From the moment I arrived, I was met with warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality, which made me feel very well taken care of throughout my stay.
Another major highlight was the food at the hotel’s restaurant. The breakfast was magnificent, with excellent quality throughout. I also had dinner there on two occasions, and both meals were of the highest standard. The quality of the food was far beyond my expectations and a very pleasant surprise.
Overall, this stay exceeded all expectations, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Maseru.

Guest review
Well, the view! Then the cozy pub, the rooms which felt like true luxury in the middle of rugged nowhere. The buffet dinner and breakfast are excellent. We even got a special dessert made just for us that night (sorry everybody else!). Hot shower water when in the freezing fog is definitely a luxury!
