Khotsong Lodge

Lesotho


Lesotho's premier (read: only) wildlife lodge is just a 10-minute drive from Thaba-Bosiu, and though it may look a tad run-down, it offers a rare opportunity to bask in the presence of ostrich, blesbok, wildebeest, zebra, duiker and springbok. A range of accommodation is offered, from standard rooms to basic chalets, and a dining hall serves passable African cuisine.
