"Beware: the sun is very strong at high altitude" Top 5 Page for this destination Lesotho Warnings Or Dangers Tip by CatherineReichardt

Again, a warning against something so obvious that I hesitate to mention it ...

As you will hear time and time again, Lesotho is the highest country in the world, and with altitude, the sun - and most particularly the UV component - becomes stronger. It's therefore essential to make sure that you take adequate precautions to make sure that you don't get surnburnt. The risk is especially high in the mountains, where the altitude is over 2,000m, and the coolness of the air tends to make you overlook how strong the sun is until the damage is done.

My son managed to lose his hat just before we went pony trekking at Sani Top, and thus we had to rig up this Heath Robinson 'sunsafe' outfit for him. He was absolutely chuffed with the outcome and spent the rest of the day playing Ninja!
