Mokhotlong

Once known as the loneliest place in Africa, Mokhotlong sits atop the cold and windblown Drakensberg Ridge (which includes Southern Africa's highest mountain, Thabana Ntlenyana, at 3482m).

Mokhotlong means 'Place of the Bald Ibis', and the streaks of guano that stain the cliffs testify to the name's relevance. Reminiscent of Tibet or Mongolia, the stoical bleakness of Mokhotlong will either charm or scare you.
