Lesotho

Although shunted to and from British and Boer control for almost 200 years, Lesotho's path to self-rule was comparatively smooth. Landlocked by South Africa, but distanced from it by huge mountain ranges, Lesotho is an often-surprising combination of rapidly-developing modernity and ancient culture.

Lesotho Weather

With pleasant temperatures, low rainfall and plenty of sun, even the cold winter nights yield to fresh 15-20°C (59-68°F) days. However, October to March are the best months to visit. The perfectly warm weather makes up for the odd patch of rain, with the sun out in full force for lovely 25-30°C (77-86°F) days.
