Lesotho is a small completely landlocked within South Africa. It’s one of only three enclave nations in the world and is a similar size to Belgium.
The entire country of Lesotho lies above a 1400 metres of elevation hence its nickname “kingdom of the sky”.
Lesotho’s climate is surprisingly cool for it’s latitude and it’s even home to one out of the only two skiing areas in Sub-Saharan Africa. If end up visiting Lesotho in the winter, make sure to visit Afriski.
Lesotho is also home to Africa’s highest pub, the Sani Mountain Lodge. Perched at 2874 metres on the South African Lesotho border, it is at the high-point of the only mountain pass linking the Eastern Side of Lesotho with South Africa.
Anyway, Africa’s highest pub is the perfect place to imagine being today because I’m finishing with a mini celebration…
