Lesotho

LS

Where the mountains are higher than the expectations of visitors who don't bring a map.

Lesotho: Where the ponies are faster than the speed limit, but the roads are slower than a Sunday afternoon.

Lesotho: Where the Basotho people are more welcoming than a warm hug on a cold day, but also more stubborn than a mule on a mission.

Lesotho is the only country in the world that lies entirely above 1,000 meters in elevation.

It is an enclave country, completely surrounded by South Africa.
