Afriski to Maletsunyane Falls, Semonkong | Explore Lesotho Ep.8

From frozen mornings at Afriski to the chaos of Maseru, this episode takes us deep into the heart of Lesotho. We leave the roof of the country in cold temperatures, battle electrical gremlins, descend through high-altitude passes, and navigate the madness of Lesotho’s capital before escaping back onto remote gravel roads. The ride leads us past rural mountain villages, across rugged backroads, and finally to one of Southern Africa’s most iconic natural landmarks, Maletsunyane Falls, home to the world’s highest commercial abseil. The day ends at Semonkong Lodge, known as “The Place of Smoke”, perched on the edge of the Maletsunyane Gorge. From quiet mountain roads to busy city streets, this episode captures the full contrast of riding in Lesotho, raw, unpredictable, and unforgettable.
