Lesotho is a landlocked and high-altitude kingdom encircled by South Africa. This nation is crisscrossed by a network of rivers and mountain ranges including the 3,482m-high peak of Thabana Ntlenyana. Near its capital city, Maseru, you can find the Thaba Bosiu plateau with ruins dating from the 19th-century reign of King Moshoeshoe I. Thaba Bosiu is an impressive place that overlooks the iconic Mount Qiloane, an enduring symbol of the nation’s Basotho people.

Lesotho is regularly considered a safe country to travel to. However, even though it has served as a refuge from all the troubles that are hitting the rest of Africa pretty hard - Lesotho still has its issues with crime and poverty. But, that shouldn’t be an excuse to avoid visiting it.

What you can do to feel safe when staying in Lesotho is to avoid spending much time on the streets after dark. You should never stray off well-lit and busy streets as well. You should also be particularly cautious along the stretch between Maseru’s hub of hotels, as well as in the business district.
