Explore Lesotho
Lesotho, also known as the ‘mountain kingdom in the sky’, is a landlocked country encircled by South Africa and situated in the Maloti Mountains. Most of the population in Lesotho are made up of the Sotho ethnic group (also known as the Basotho people) and Sesotho is the official language.
With little industrialisation, Lesotho offers visitors the opportunity to explore the vast landscapes, roamed by shepherds on horseback, and quaint rural villages. The ascent into Lesotho is via the iconic Sani Pass, which rewards travellers who dare to brave its’ bends with exceptional views of the Drakensberg Mountains.
For those looking for a genuine cultural experience in a remote land with glorious vistas, this is the destination for you.

What is the best way to handle finances in Botswana?
The currency in Botswana is the Botswana Pula, however the US dollar is accepted for gratuities. We recommend traveling with credit cards/ debit cards that can be used at ATMS. Not all banks charge foreign transaction fees but please check with your credit card issuer. Please also advise your bank prior to departure that you will be using your credit cards in Botswana. There will be the opportunity to withdraw cash at International Airports and this is a better way to manage your money safely rather than travelling with large amounts of cash on hand.
Is Botswana Safe?
Botswana is considered a safe country for travel, especially in remote tourist destinations.
