Lesotho is an independent country landlocked within South Africa, to the southeast of Johannesburg. It is a mountainous country known as "the kingdom in the sky". It is one of the few countries in Africa with natural boundaries created by tribal demands rather than those imposed by colonial decree. There are few natural resources, and population pressures have decreased agricultural potential, but the country has an almost overwhelming natural beauty coupled with welcoming, generous people.
Lesotho is a perfect destination for anyone wanting to get out into beautiful, remote lands where there are no fences, very few roads, and miles upon miles of mountainous scenery to explore on foot or on horseback, with the addition of the hospitality of the Basotho people to make this experience particularly special. Explore the highlands, Basotho villages, San Bushman rock art, and even dinosaur footprints.
Most people visiting Lesotho combine their trip with locations in South Africa.
