Discovering the Drakensberg and Lesotho

A trip to the Drakensberg Mountains and Lesotho is a unique experience that combines spectacular scenery, authentic culture and adventure. It's a chance to disconnect, immerse yourself in powerful nature, discover an unspoilt culture and experience an authentic adventure.

All year round
14 days - 2850€/pp from 5 to 7 people (plane not included)

  • Impressive landscapes

Drakensberg means "Dragon Mountain": a mountain range that surrounds Lesotho, made up of sheer cliffs, plateaus, green valleys and majestic waterfalls.

In Lesotho, nicknamed the "kingdom in the sky", the landscape is even more isolated and wild, with plateaus at altitudes of over 3,000 m.

  • Traditional culture
    Lesotho is one of Africa's rare kingdoms, with a deeply rooted culture: pastoral life, villages of round huts and a warm welcome.
    Meet the Basothos, a mountain people dressed in wool ponchos and traditional conical hats (mokorotlo).
    Local crafts, markets and a rural lifestyle far removed from modernity.
  • Rock art
    The Drakensberg is famous for its San rock paintings, evidence of an ancient culture over 3,000 years old.
