A traveller drapped in a Basotho blanket enjoys views of snow coverd mountains in Lesotho.
Why spend thousands flying to Europe when you can experience snow, skiing and spectacular mountain scenery just across the border?
Every winter, Lesotho becomes one of the most sought-after destinations for South Africans looking to enjoy a snowy escape without the hefty price tag of the French or Swiss Alps.
Between June and August, the Kingdom in the Sky transforms into a winter wonderland, complete with snow-covered mountain passes, frozen waterfalls and the famous Afriski Mountain Resort, where visitors can ski, snowboard and enjoy alpine adventures in the heart of Africa.
As the only country in the world entirely above 1,400 metres, Lesotho is also the highest and coldest nation in Africa, making it the continent’s premier destination for snow lovers.
