Lesotho

The Kingdom in the Sky
Elevate your perspective in Lesotho, a high-altitude sanctuary entirely encircled by South Africa. Known as the "Kingdom in the Sky," this is the only country on Earth to lie entirely above 1,000 meters. Arrive via private airplane in Maseru or challenge the legendary Sani Pass by luxury 4x4. Indulge in premier accommodations ranging from high-end mountain lodges to the Afriski Mountain Resort, Africa’s premier high-altitude ski destination.
Experience a "pony safari" on the famous Basotho horses or trek to the thundering Maletsunyane Falls, one of the highest single-drop waterfalls in Africa. While landlocked, the country's "islands" of alpine peaks and crystalline streams offer a serene escape for the elite traveler. From the world's highest pub to ancient rock art, Lesotho delivers a prestigious and authentic mountain experience. Explore our exclusive gallery below to witness the roof of Africa.
