6 days in Maseru Itinerary

Founded in 1869 by the British, Lesotho's main city--Maseru--lies on the border with South Africa on a plateau surrounded by red hills.

Change things up with these side-trips from Maseru: Maletsunyane Falls Semonkong (in Semonkong), Mafika Lisiu Pass (in Pitseng) and Ha Kome Cave Houses (in Teyateyaneng). There's still lots to do: admire the engineering at Katse Dam, get a taste of the local shopping with Lesotho Co-operative Handicrafts, browse the different shops at Pioneer Mall, and take in the awesome beauty at Maluti Mountains.

In January in Maseru, expect temperatures between 31°C during the day and 20°C at night.
