Ts'ehlanyane National Park, one of only two national parks in Lesotho, spans 56 square kilometers and sits at altitudes ranging from 1940m to 3112m. This sub-alpine park, located in the Maloti Mountains in Leribe District, is known for its indigenous forests, caves, cliffs, rivers, waterfalls, and natural ponds. The park offers accessible hiking trails, from short day hikes to a 39 km multi-day trek to Bokong Nature Reserve, making it a fantastic destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. The best time to visit Ts'ehlanyane National Park is from March to April and September, when the weather is pleasant and skies are clear. The park is easily accessible via a well-maintained 30 km road off the Lesotho A1 route, just 175 km from Maseru. Visitors can drive or hire a private driver, with public transport options available for the more adventurous. Entrance fees are 50 LTL per person and 30 LTL per car, paid once upon arrival. Don't miss the chance to hike to the stunning Black Pool, Cascade Pool, and Rock Pool, where you can also enjoy a refreshing swim if you can brave the cold waters.

Lives of villagers around the park has become very difficult since the establishment of the park. The park is not fenced to retain wild animals within its premises. Wild animals such as monkeys destroy the crops of villagers at the nearby fields. The response of the authorities of the park on this issue is so disguting. They say the villagers should stay at the fields day and night to scare of the animals. They say they are not intending to fence the premises because they want wild aninals from outside to enter. This was said by the top most official on Moafrika FM radio on 12th June 2024.

My husband and I live about 1.5 hrs from the Park and LOVE it. We come here at least once a month. If you have a chance to come here I would highly recommend it. There are numerous hikes of various level, all really well marked. There is a guest house you can stay at that the Park rents. It is very basic, but also very inexpensive and has 3 bedrooms, meaning it can accommodate a number of people. If you stay there bring your own dishes, towels, toilet paper and some spare light bulbs.

This is such a peaceful and tranquil place, so far away from the busy Maseru. You definitely want to put this place up on the list of TODOs when you visit Lesotho. Also, Be sure to reserve a day if you plan to drive to the national Park, from Maseru.
