Lesotho

Hidden within the South African borders,

Lesotho towers majestically above and is known as the

Mountain Kingdom or Kingdom in the Sky.

This destination can be combined as the peak of a holiday or in itself caters a host of tantalizing treats to choose from for those opting to dedicate a trip in entirety.

Your trip could include hiking waterfalls, mountain biking, horse riding and glimpses of ancient Bushman paintings.

Deep in the Maluti Mountains, Afriski offers skiing and is one of the only two ski resorts in southern Africa.
