best places to visit in lesotho
Maseru
Maseru is the capital and largest city of Lesotho. Stable, small, and on-the-up, Maseru might just be something of the odd one out when it comes to African capitals.
Slowly being reconstructed after a period of upheaval in the late 90s, the town is now a charming and characterful place to spend a few days in. The most noticeable landmark has to be the appropriately named Basotho Hat, which is actually a gift shop selling traditional Basotho arts and crafts. Aside from that, there are a few great tailors and international eateries, not to mention a fair amount of backpacker traffic in the bars.
Bokong
Set between the dramatic mountains just to the west of Katse Dam, the little hill town of Bokong is a great place to wax up your walking boots and hit the trails of central Lesotho.
Visitors will be able to discover the likes of the Lepaqoa Waterfall, crashing over the eroded rocks that define Lesotho’s highlands. The surrounding Bokong Nature Reserve is also a real draw. Complete with winding hiking trails and maintained campsites, it’s a great place for horse riding and trekking, and even running.
