Local weaving groups formed Abelanang Basotho which means lets share and they take the product to market for the weavers. They use local mohair from the farmers in the area and they work it all the way to the final product. Every product is done passionately by hand and they include wall hangings, tapestries, rugs, scrafs and cushion covers to mention a few. All of the products tell a story.

The Ha Kome Cave Village is situated at Pulane area in Berea district. The caves were a hideout for the Basia and one Bataung clans during the Lifaqane Wars and cannibalism. The cave is still inhabited by their descendants to this day. There are also faded San paintings in the cave which indicates that the San also occupied the cave some time prior to their arrival albeit briefly.

This family- and pet-friendly haven is your ticket to tranquility, just 15 km from Mooi River and 25 km from the charming Nottingham Road.

Now, let's delve deeper into the heart of nature's canvas by embarking on an enchanting kayaking experience. As you gracefully glide across the pristine waters of the dam, feel the gentle rhythm of your paddle creating ripples, echoing the whispers of tranquility that surrounds you.
Fort Nottingham Road
Roadtripping through South Africa will leave you speechless. Leaving The Fisherman's Cottage in Mooi River, we ventured into the heart of nature's grandeur in the Suzuki Jimny 5 Door. Gravel roads, mountain views, and 160 km of adventure with a view via Fort Nottingham Road and the Underberg! This is a route that you have to experience!
Sani Pass
Embark on an epic journey through the legendary Sani Pass, connecting KwaZulu-Natal and Lesotho in South Africa. Once a mule track, now a thrilling mountain pass between the Sani Pass Border Post in South Africa and the Lesotho Border Post. The elevation gains are incredible reaching 2873m. At this altitude, the views are spectacular. Traversing the famous Sani Pass crossing river beds and tackling loose rocky terrain, the Suzuki Jimny 5 Dorr handled the challenges in 4H most of the timewithout breaking a sweat. 4L was only needed on some of the steep rocky switch backs towards the top of Sani Pass.
Maliba Lodge, Lesotho
Exact location:
We discovered the charm of Maliba Lodge, Lesotho's exclusive 5-star ecolodge nestled in Tsehlanyane National Park. From luxurious stays to self-catering options, it caters to all, making it the ultimate retreat for families, friends, and couples. We stayed in the Mountain View Rooms for R1100 per night (for 2 people). The views are second to none! Nestled in the northern part of the Maluti Mountains, we dined at the restaurant, relaxed in the private lounge and soaked in the gorgeous Mountain View’s from the deck.
More than a getaway, Maliba Lodge embodies a vision of empowering local Basotho through eco-tourism, fostering community growth and contributing to education, economy, and society.
Maliba Lodge is situated only 48km from the Caledonspoort Border Post making it highly accessible for those travelling from South Africa.
We embarked on a soul-refreshing hike and would you believe it's just a short drive from Clarens, South Africa (less than 2 hours). Hiking through the enchanting Maluti Mountains at Maliba Lodge in Lesotho, the 4.7 km trail unveils breathtaking landscapes and leads us to the pristine Holomo Waterfall.
Lesotho (route from Sani Pass, South Africa)
We embarked on a breathtaking journey across Lesotho, the Southern African Mountain Kingdom. In the Suzki Jimny 5 -door, we conquered the Tlaeng Pass, the highest road in Southern Africa at 3240m, via the A1 from Sani Pass, South Africa.
Our adventure unfolded with lively dances among the locals, the sun tenderly kissing the towering mountains, weaving through picturesque villages, encountering sheep strolling the roads, and climaxing with a mesmerizing fire sunset.

David’s Been Here travels through Lesotho to explore what many call “the Kingdom in the Sky.” Lesotho is the only country in the world to be entirely above 1,000 meters above sea level. David’s favorite hotel in Lesotho was the Maliba Mountain Lodge in Tsehlanyane National Park, which he profiles in this video.
The lodge graciously hosted David in a luxurious chalet with double beds, beautiful vistas, wood burning fireplace, and handcrafted furniture. The Maliba Lodge has 6 mountainside chalets for couples and 4 river chalets that can accommodate up to 8 people.
People come to Lesotho to enjoy the natural landscapes and local culture. Maliba Lodge took David horseback riding, on a village tour, and gave him a much-needed back massage at the hotel spa.
Some of the features that make Maliba Mountain Lodge so great is the free Wi-Fi, heated floors, and heated beds (yes, you read that right). David then lets Daniel, the hotel’s Guest Relations Manager, say a little bit more about the property.
Daniel explains that the hotel is situated in the northern part of the country. It has two room types: the 5-star mountain chalets and the 3-star self-catering cottages. Activities offered by Maliba Mountain Lodge include: horseback riding, hiking, spa treatments, and cultural visits to nearby villages. Guests who want to horseback ride are sent with an experienced guide and all the necessary equipment to explore the trails of Tsehlanyane National Park.
Village tours are meant to familiarize guests with the local culture. Stops include seeing the local doctor, traditional mud huts, and the local school. The video finishes by showing us the landscaped gardens and unique architecture found at Maliba.
