All our tours start in South Africa in Fouriesburg, a small farming community on the South African – Lesotho border.
This tour will take you in three days (two nights) through the central and eastern Maluti Mountains. On the first day we travel through the Low Lands to the town of Leribe and carry on from there in South Eastern direction into the central Mountains. We will be driving through a breathtaking scenery of mountains, valleys, beautiful mountain streams and waterfalls and enter deeper and deeper into the central Mountains. Eventually we reach the beautiful Katse Dam and follow the western shore profits until we reach Katse Village. In Katse we will have a tour into the interior of the Dam Wall. The first night will be spent in Katse. On the second day we continue further in a south eastern direction deeper into the Maluti Mountains. Our route now takes us over the mountain trails that. We will pass the remote villages of Thaba-Tseka, Mohlanapeng, Taung, Linakaneng on our way to the old Trading Post Molumong, our destination for the second day. Before we arrive there we still have to cross via the mountain trail of the Menoaneng Pass at an altitude of 3030 meters. The second night we will stay in the old Trading Post Molumong.
On the third day we continue in the North Eastern and Northern direction. Our trail will take us over the rugged Eastern plateau to the little towns Mokhotlong and Mapholaneng. Mokhotlong used to be known as one of the most secluded settlements of Africa and even to day it is not a metropolis. The horses “parked” outside the little shops create a “Wild West” atmosphere. Via the Letseng Diamond Mine, the highest Diamond Mine in the world, we continue over the “Pass of Guns” (3240 meters) in the direction of the ski resort Afriski and we descent the Moteng Pass (2840 meters). This is one of the steepest mountain passes in Lesotho. During the descent we will have the most magnificent views far into Eastern Free State. Via Butha-Buthe we return at the end of the day in Fouriesburg. The tour can be extended with several days. During the extra days we will spent time at a village where we can hike and/or pony trek in the beautiful and unspoiled nature. The tour can also be combined with other tours we have on offer.
