Why Visit Lesotho?

Known as the “Kingdom in the Sky,” it is the only country in the world entirely above 1,000 meters in elevation. With its high altitude, Lesotho offers breathtaking mountain landscapes and a cool climate, making it a refreshing escape from the heat of the plains.

Explore the majestic Drakensberg Mountains on thrilling hikes or pony treks. Marvel at the towering peaks and cascading waterfalls that dot the landscape. Discover the traditional way of life in Lesotho’s remote villages, where friendly locals welcome you with open arms. Take on the challenge of conquering the iconic Sani Pass, a legendary mountain pass that offers breathtaking views and exhilarating off-road experiences.

Begin your journey to Lesotho from Johannesburg or Durban. And if you’re craving more adventure, why not extend your trip to include neighboring Eswatini? Explore our handpicked Lesotho tour packages below, or connect with one of our Africa Safari Experts to craft a personalized itinerary tailored to your travel preferences and budget.

What Our Travellers Say

★★★★★

Excellent super friendly service

I have been using this travel agency for booking all of my Southern Africa overland trips for 10 years now and once again I can only speak very highly about them. The new manager James is - just like his predecessor Rob - super friendly, very professional and proactive to offer you the best. The whole booking and payment process from abroad couldn't be easier and more secure. Thumbs up!

LOVED our tour & Detour Africa

I did a lot of research online to find a company that was affordable and also had good reviews. I was not disappointed! Detour Africa was a great company. Communication was always prompt with the travel agent. We were set up in nice accommodations. The food was so good and the staff at the lodge where we stayed were so friendly... I would definitely recommend Detour Africa for Safari tours.
