Lesotho
Lesotho sits entirely above 1,000 metres, making it the only country on Earth with such a high lower bound — a landlocked highland kingdom encircled completely by South Africa. Basotho herders on horseback move through grasslands and sandstone gorges, and winters bring genuine snow to the Maluti peaks.
About Lesotho
Overview
Known as the Kingdom in the Sky, Lesotho is a small, mountainous nation in southern Africa, bordered on all sides by South Africa. Maseru is the capital and largest city. Sesotho and English are the official languages, and the currency is the loti, which trades at parity with the South African rand. The culture is strongly shaped by Basotho tradition, including the distinctive woven mokorotlo hat and wool blanket dress.
