Lesotho

Do you want to experience a relatively undiscovered country with super friendly inhabitants? There is a reason why people are caught surprised by the raw beauty of Lesotho and come back after their first visit. The Mountain Kingdom has huge stretched out landscapes, is very peaceful, diverse and a truly amazing country to go to. It is known for its fantastic Drakensberg mountains and loving people. Ideal for relaxation and hiking. We arrange everything for you!

Safety:

The contrast between rich and poor in Lesotho is big if you compare certain neighbourhoods in the cities with the rural villages. The country is politically stable and the crime rate in Lesotho is quite low when compared to South Africa, but crime can still occur of course. No need to worry though, because we will make sure you will travel and stay in a safe area. However, like everywhere else in the world, we can’t give you 100% safety guarantee. The necessary precaution and alertness are recommended as always when travelling and staying abroad. Therefore, we will make you aware of all the do’s and don’ts in Lesotho during our specific safety meeting.
