Lesotho

Water and diamonds are Lesotho’s largest natural resources. Dams provide water throughout the region and diamonds mines dot the landscape. Due to its mountainous terrain, Lesotho is a sought after location for serious hikers.

Sesotho is the official language of Lesotho and is spoken by the largest ethnic group in Lesotho: the Basotho. 90% of the population practises Christianity.

When travelling to Lesotho, remember to always respond when spoken to and never get angry. Both are seen as highly disrespectful.
