If you are travelling by car, full it with petrol in Maseru (the only petrol-stations in the country). Even if you are going to explore for just a few kilometres (just in case, full the car of petrol!!!). Distances are unclear in Lesotho and while in your map it says 20 km, it can be 50!!!! and sometimes they run out of petrol in some petrol-stations... so sometimes you can not buy petrol just when you want...

The best advice would be to hire a 4x4 for getting around the country as the roads in Lesotho are on the whole quite rough. If you don't have a 4x4 vehicle you will not be allowed to drive up the Sani Pass from S.Africa into Lesotho. Our vehicles and drivers were hired from the Cape Town based "Just Done It" 4x4 tours company. Leave a Comment

Until Star Trek transporters come into vogue, the only way to get to Lesotho is by plane.
Combis (the Lesotho equivalent of a taxi.) are readily available, as were buses. The thing to keep in mind is that the objective of the combi drivers is definitely not YOUR COMFORT--this goes for the bus drivers as well--so don't be surprised that, on your next combi ride, that your packed so tightly that you would be envious of a sardine.

I hired a car in Johannesburg and drove through Lesotho. You can get around to some pretty neat places with just a two-wheel drive car (which I had) but that might limit you from remote areas.
There are also minibuses that run all over the country, which would probably be fine for anyone with the time to wait around an extra day or two if there is no bus.
Roads were generally good, and even the unpaved roads were fine in winter. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
