Leribe Hlotse

Named after the Hlotse river on which it is situated, Leribe Hlotse is one of Lesotho's larger towns. Slightly run-down but undeniably pleasant, the town is close to a South African border post and has a busy marketplace and quite a few shops, including the Leribe Craft Centre.

Leribe Hlotse was a British administrative centre during the period of the Basotholand Protectorate (1869-1966). Decaying colonial buildings are some of the town's few reminders of that era. A sealed road leads inland from Leribe over the Maluti Mountains to the shores of the Katse Dam and its enormous lake.
