This mountainous kingdom has a myriad of jaw-dropping scenery that will urge you to satiate your  wanderlust. The beautiful views of Maseru district include the beautifully chiselled mountain, by  God,  to look like a lion and the views from atop Thaba Bosiu with so many table mountains.  It is home to the highest pub in Africa, the highest lowest point in the world and lastly the highest mountain in Southern Africa. This kingdom in the sky  will afford you an experience  to ski on snow in Southern Africa ( https://www.afriski.net/ ).
