Fact file: Lesotho in South Africa

  • 3rd February 2009
  • Robert

Did you know that Lesotho has the highest mountain peak in southern Africa, the highest road in Africa, the highest pub in Africa (personal research there) and the highest single-drop waterfall in Africa? Its known as the ‘Kingdom in the Sky’, for obvious reasons.

The facts are:

  • Highest peak: Thabana Ntlenyana – 3 482 metres. You can climb right to the top and what a view.
  • Highest road: Tlaeeng Pass in northern Lesotho (part of the Roof of Africa route) – 3 275 metres. You can drive this one, still a great view.
  • Highest pub: Located on the Sani Pass – 2 874 metres.
  • Highest single-drop waterfall: Maletsunyane Falls – 200 metres.
