Immersive Lesotho Day Trip, exploring the “Kingdom in the Sky”

This tour will take you up Sani Pass and further on into a village in the Mountain Kingdom, called Mokhotlong, allowing you to explore more of Lesotho in just a day!

It’s the perfect mix of nature, culture and history – enjoy Lesotho’s natural flora and fauna, driving past the highest peak in Southern Africa; dive into the culture of the Basotho people at a historical trading post and take a peek into history by getting to see the old buildings that pack lots of history into this small village.

Why go further into Lesotho?

Our top-ranked Sani Pass tour is very popular as it explores the Sani Pass summiting into the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho! However, if you have more time, it’s really worth your while going on our full-day tour into Lesotho. With the extra time that we have, we get to travel beyond Sani Top and into the more populated areas of Mokhotlong. Experience real Basotho-life!

We summit some of the highest peaks south of Kilimanjaro! Black Mountain pass is an incredible sight at 3240m ASL – it often sees snows in Winter and sometimes even in Summer. As you descend into the valleys below you start seeing the remote villages around Mokhotlong.

Great Value Immersive Experience into the heart of Remote Lesotho

We pack coffee/tea, snacks and a hearty lunch while overlooking Lesotho’s Mountain Vistas.

Included in the price is Basotho Pony-Trekking in the foothills near Mokhotlong with your guide – who lives in and loves this area and shares stories about rural life in the mountains OR an immersive cultural experience – a short hike brings you to the heart of a homestead where we learn so much from these friendly and warm people who have been living the same way for many years.

Please Note: Many of our guests would love to see the Highest Pub in Africa. As this tour is extended and goes further into Lesotho we usually pack a picnic lunch, if you would still prefer to visit the pub, please contact us and we can customise this tour for you.

All of these activities are much longer than what we could offer on our shorter tour.

To keep this amazing experience unique and intimate, we usually take only small groups on this tour – often only your booking.

When booking, please let us know which activity you would prefer and if you have any special dietary requirements, this will help us to plan for your tour.

About Mokhotlong

This village in Lesotho is a picturesque hour and a half drive from the Sani Pass Border Post. Mokhotlong started as a small police outpost in 1905 and over the years it developed into a remote trading hub for the people of the Highlands region. Since Mokhotlong is so remote, it was preserved from the development that other cities in Lesotho underwent. Mokhotlong gives tourists the opportunity to experience a truly traditional village in the ‘Kingdom in the Sky’.

Lesotho is the only country in the world that is in its entirety above 1000m in elevation, making this an experience that you cannot enjoy anywhere else in the world! This tour ticks all these boxes – nature, culture and history – all in Lesotho, all in one day.
