Tourism
Lesotho has a reasonably big tourist industry, because it is such a beautiful country. There are so many amazing sights to see, so lets get started!
Maletsunyane Fall
The Maletsunyane Fall is a astounding waterfall located near the town of Semonkong, it has a whopping 192 metre drop and is 25m in length. It is probably the most famous sight in Lesotho. The waterfall formed on the Maletsunyane river, a branch of the orange river. You can abseil next to the falls - the tallest commercial abseil in the world.
Sehlabathebe NAtional Park
Sehlabathebe National Park is located in the Maloti mountains, Lesotho. It was established in 1969 and is 70km squared. The park is so stunning because of the mountainous surroundings, its waterfalls, rock pools, rock art and the tremendous ecosystem of plants, birds and animals.
AfriSki
AfriSki is the only ski resort in Lesotho. It is in the Maloti mountains and is 3222 metres above sea level. The resort has a 1km ski slope and a beginners ski slope.
