The Kingdom In The Sky
The mountain kingdom of Lesotho is totally land-locked by South Africa, and is known as "The Kingdom in the Sky".
With all its land lying at altitudes in excess of 1500m above sea-level; Lesotho is a land of dramatic views and exhilarating outdoor activities including skiing, abseiling, pony trekking and hiking.
Most visitors will only stop a few days as part of a tour of South Africa, but anyone planning on crossing the famous Sani Pass from Kwa-Zulu Natal to Lesotho should be aware that this requires a 4x4 behicle and a great deal of experience - not for the faint hearted!
