Walking in the mountains of Lesotho

With SA easily accessible to Batswana, it has become my playground, as I have been able to visit quite regularly, both for leisure and work trips.

My trip to Lesotho was not necessarily a planned one. Nevertheless it was just a spontaneous decision after one Gabohane Gabohane, fondly known as GG, shared a flyer inviting people from Botswana to participate in the Moshoeshoe Walk in Lesotho, a walking adventure covering 116 kilometres over several days. The three-day journey aims to re-kindle the spirit of unity among Basotho as it is embodied in founder, King Moshoeshoe I's legacy. Each year, walkers from different SADC states join Basotho in the walk and this year I jumped at the opportunity, despite knowing the 'challenges' that come with the first month of the year, January.
