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.
There are some excellent tar roads and some of the dirt roads are good and can be negotiated by a sedan vehicle. To explore and see more of Lesotho a 4x4 or high-rise pick-up with differential lock is recommended. For the more adventurous a mountain bike is the answer to enhale the clean crisp air. This is real off-road motorcycle country.See Lesotho Travelogue.
Don't miss a pony-trekking in the beautiful mountains. Sometimes it is incredible that horses can walk in that mountains... See more information in must to do activities. It is absolutely breath-taking.
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...
Fly to South Africa, then Drive into Lesotho via Free State Province, or maybe from KwazuluNatal via the Woreld Famous Sani Pass.Ponies are the answer,but if you're really in a hurry, tey what in the photoo

THE SANI PASS IS FOR FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES ONLY. I HAD TO PARK MY RENTAL CAR AT THE TOWN BELOW, AND PAY 75 RAND FOR A DRIVER TO TAKE ME UP, AND SHOW ME AROUND A BIT. HERE IS THE DRIVER CHATTING WITH ONE OF THE MANY SHEPPARD BOYS SCATTERED AROUND THE HIGH PLAIN. THIS ONE TALKED MY DRIVER OUT OF A CIGARETTE...
From the USA, fly South African Airlines into Johannesburg then take the Lesotho Airlines into Lesotho.Walking, rental car and what they call a taxie which is the back of a pick-up truck. They do have a bus system but don't be get comfortable with the idea. Its' not like in the USA. Although not a bad form of transportation for .25cents.
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 enter Lesotho via Sani pass, the border check was matter of few moments and then we could just continue up the road.
