Malealea Lodge

Ask at the park about pony treks, hiking and mountain biking tours through the area towards ancient Bushman paintings, the deep Pitseng Gorge and the rushing Botsoela Waterfalls, or organise your own trips to spots like the Gates of Paradise Pass (20 minutes’ drive), a location with far-reaching views over vast valleys. If you’re interested in learning more about Lesotho’s indigenous Basotho people, mosey over to the Morija Museum (an hour), which displays artefacts related to the group’s history. This whole region is remote, so for more sightseeing you’ll need to set off further afield. Head to one of Lesotho’s hiking highlights, like Lion Rock Mountain (an hour and a half), or saunter around South Africa’s Caledon Nature Reserve (two hours and 15 minutes) in search of zebras, wildebeest and springbok across the border.
