Travel Tips for Lesotho

Lesotho is a country of many climates, so ensure that you are well prepared before arriving. The best time to go is during summer, as the weather is nice and warm and perfect for exploring the parks and mountain trails.

One of Lesotho's attractions is its crystal-clear springs which are fine to drink from when out hiking or bird-watching. If you are in the towns however, it is safer to drink bottled or purified water.

If you're looking to bring something home from your travels, then make sure to purchase a straw Basotho hat with its distinctive twirly top-knot.

Lesotho is best accessed from Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport, although you may fly directly to Moshoeshoe International.
