The paradise of Lesotho is situated completely surrounded by its only neighbouring country, South Africa. This small nation’s chief attraction Sani Pass lies near the border of the Drankesburg Mountains. However, if you are on a journey to explore Lesotho, the African fun “adventure land”, you ought to know more about what the land has to offer you.

If in fact, you are planning to come down to Lesotho, you might want to stay over in a Lesotho hotel to garner that firsthand experience. Accommodation options such as AVANI Hotels & Resorts make ideal bases from which to discover the very best this land has to offer.

Lesotho is known for its network of caves that are quite ancient. Home to dinosaur footprints and rock paintings that are about a millennium old, these caves bear explanations to the many mysteries of the unknown primitive ages. Every year, the Basotho people, the native inhabitants of the nation of Lesotho, make a pilgrimage to these caves to commemorate their ancestors.

These caves are where these native Basotho people hold their ceremonies. The religion of Lesotho is a fusion of Christianity and indigenous religions, and anyone is free to visit these ceremonies and pray. If you wish to only be a spectator, you may watch the natives of Lesotho decorated with body paint, praying and chanting amidst the sound of drums.

The rock paintings of this network of caves are said to signify spiritual dimensions. You can take delight in the paintings of strange figures of animals and creatures that depict a hunter-gatherer way of life. Hike your way up the Sani Pass through its numerous trails such as Giants Cup Hiking Trails, Drakensberg Grand Traverse or Giant’s Castle and submerge yourself into an indigenous way of life.
