Lesotho is known as the Kingdom in the Sky, with every part of the country lying above 1,000 metres in elevation. It offers winding passes, mountain views, waterfalls, dams and unforgettable road-trip scenery.
The famous Sani Pass is one of the highlights, with steep climbs and breathtaking views. During winter, snowfall can transform parts of the country into a true winter adventure.
Lesotho Travel Tips
- Pack warm clothing because mountain weather changes quickly.
- Bring sunscreen because the altitude increases UV exposure.
- Fill up regularly because fuel stations can be far apart.
- Download offline maps before entering remote areas.
- Remember your passport for the border.
- Check tyres, brakes and coolant before mountain driving.
