It is here, in the heart of Lesotho that you can visit some of the most picturesque landmarks and fully immerse yourself in nature. The beautiful surroundings will provide you with some of the most Instagram worthy pictures, creating memories that might last you a lifetime.

Surrounded by the beautiful country of South Africa, these are some of the most breath-taking places to visit when you find yourself in Lesotho.

Kome Caves

Close to the village of Makata and 20km away from Teyateyaneng is where you can find the Kome Caves. According to travel website Roxanne Reid these beautiful cave dwellings appear to be in the form of igloos rather than traditional huts. They are sculpted from mud and a vast rock overhang.

Maletsunyane Falls

If your aim is to be swept off your feet then you will be in awe when you visit the Maletsunyane waterfall. According to travel website Laurewanders this is considered to be one of the highest waterfalls in the world. Those who visit this spot partake in several activities including abseiling.

Skiing and Snowboarding

Because of the high-altitude Lesotho experiences lots of snow. This allows for fun family activities where you can have a feel of Europe by going snowboarding or skiing in the white layers of ice. According to travel website Roxanne Reid, the north eastern highlands are usually the best place to experience this. Here you can enrol for some lessons and hire some equipment. The best time to do this is between June and August during the annual winter season.
