Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
The mountain kingdom of Lesotho is out-of-this world for its sheer mountain beauty. Combine that with its unique culture where the people have combined a 21st approach to certain day-to-day activities whilst holding onto their culturally unique way-of-life and it blends into an amazing experience. Our guests are often visiting Lesotho whilst on holiday in South Africa. We have perfected a 3-day tour which incorporates many of the top things to do in Lesotho, despite being on a time budget. Of course, Lesotho has even more amazing things to do and see, but we feel that this tour has become a favourite because it packs so much into just 3 days of overland in Lesotho! Sani Pass, Lesotho Cultural Immersion, Drakensberg Bushmen Paintings, Dinosaur Footprints, Modern-day Cave Dwellers and Semonkong.

I would recommend the tour wholeheartedly. Our drivers were very friendly and well informed. The game reserve was great. The Sani Pass and Lesotho were fabulous. Be careful if you might get altitude sickness. We did a hike across the plateau. Very special. The food everywhere was good. The organization went perfectly.
