Lesotho - The Kingdom in the sky

by MikeAtSea - last update: Oct 5, 2005

The Maluti Mountains
With a land area of approximately 30,000 km2 no part of the Country is below 1000 metres and much of the land consists of high mountains that reach their peak at Thabana-Ntlenyana, at 3,841m the highest point of Southern Africa.
Because of the altitude, the climate is well described as invigorating. Clean mountain air, spectacular blue skies, and brilliant sunshine for more than 300 days each year provide a wonderful climate that will restore even the most jaded traveller.
Map of Lesotho
Summer extends from November to January and is usually hot, while winter lasts from May to July and brings snow to the mountains (although snow can fall on the highest peaks at any time of the year). Autumn days are long and warm, and are great for hiking and pony-trekking, while in the springtime (about August) the mountains are covered with alpine flowers and the valleys are decked with peach blossom and mimosa.
The majestic Maluti Mountains and the spectacular Drakensberg Range offer a magnificent backdrop to a near tropical destination that can provide a wide range of outdoor holiday activities.
