Lesotho Maseru

Welcome to the Mountain Kingdom – Home to mountain-biking and pony trekking!

Very little is known about Lesotho, one of Africa’s best kept secret getaways. Our DMC and Tour Operator in Lesotho specialises in adventure excursions and expeditions. We organise mountain biking (own bikes required), pony trekking, hiking and 4×4 tours through the rugged Lesotho mountain landscapes.

This landlocked country is surrounded by South Africa with easy access from Durban or Johannesburg. Also known as Kingdom in the Sky due to its high altitude, Lesotho is mountain biking heaven! As you enter through Sani Pass, bikers get a panoramic view of Hodgson’s Peak and the Giants Cup. Every pass you cross opens up a new set of vistas. Here you will find hundreds of kilometres of top-notch mountain biking trails set between 10 000-foot peaks, along wild valleys, and through numerous remote towns. Our DMC in Lesotho has the local expertise to arrange a customised trail itinerary with overnight camping and guided by experienced Basotho tribesman.

We can manage your airport transfers from Maseru in Swaziland or Durban and Johannesburg in South Africa. We can also organise cultural tours, accommodation bookings and itineraries ranging from 1 day tours to full 15 day expeditions throughout Lesotho and the surrounding Maluti and Drakensberg mountains.

We offer business travel services for corporate or business delegations visiting the capital city Maseru and can include a social responsibility program that will positively affect the lives of the locals.

With 300 days of sunshine and the winter snow-capped peaks of the Maluti Mountains, this is a filming and photographer’s paradise. Lesotho is unspoilt and waiting to be discovered. The time to visit is now!
