  We have begun our road journey to the kingdom of Lesotho 🇱🇸, a tiny gem surrounded by South Africa. We entered by land border crossing from Bloemfontein on the western side and will be exiting eventually through the Sani Pass on the eastern side. It’s going to be a scenic drive everywhere in Lesotho with its incredibly beautiful rolling hills, windy roads, and greenery. First stop? The iconic Basotho Hat in Maseru. This architectural marvel is not just a building; it's a symbol of Lesotho's rich culture and heritage, shaped like the traditional Basotho hat. This isn’t just any souvenir shop; it’s a two-story arts and crafts collective shaped like the traditional mokorotlo hat itself. Just outside of Maseru, we found ourselves staring at Lion Rock Mountain, a natural sculpture that stands proudly, resembling a vigilant lion guarding the city. Next on the list is the Kome Caves, a historical wonder that tells a story of survival, innovation, and community. These natural caves, turned into homes by the Basotho people, offer a unique glimpse into an age-old way of life. Lastly, the Liphofung Cave is a cultural treasure trove. With rock art dating back to the Stone Age and a rich archaeological heritage, it’s a profound glimpse into the past.

  It is not entirely what I expected. For me I was disappointed by the caves, maybe if we had opted for a guide we would’ve seen some interesting parts than the caves.

  What a let down! We arrived, to get a 'wrong' chalet and being told that we need to pay extra for an extra bed (showed booking for 6 people - insisted on right chalet). Then, there was no wifi, no seating, no hot tub (unless the mini bath counts), no kettle, not enough cutlery for everyone - all as was advertised! The balcony was a risk with holes in. The garden not mainted at all! The curtains did not hang properly, did not close windows properly. 🙈 Broken chair tucked in the corner. If this was advertised correctly, without over promising the setting and limited items it would still have been great! There was massive parties on the Saturday and Sunday night! Could not sleep! I have to, however compliment on the bed and pillows white clean and great bed! Also, manager did help with wifi. (Worked one day only)

  Very interesting if you know nothing about lesotho and can understand the guides accent.
