When to go

Weather changes quickly at altitude; clothing for cool evenings is useful even in warm months.

Things to see and do

Discover local crafts and plan a separate excursion to cultural or natural places with suitable transport.

Practical tips

For mountain roads, check the weather, road conditions and your return before dark.

Getting there and getting around

Compare arrival through Maseru's airport with an overland route through South Africa; check the entry conditions of both countries separately.

Where to stay

A good transfer is convenient for the first night; mountain accommodation belongs in a separate stage of the journey.

What to try

Maize porridge, vegetables and meat dishes feature in parts of the cuisine; tea suits a warming break.
