Welcome to Sani Lodge & Cottages!
Soaring mountain vistas, secluded waterfalls, ancient rock art as well as a unique ecosystem of fauna and flora.
On this 3 day tour, let us show you the wonders of Lesotho’s oldest national park, the high plateau country of Sehlabathebe. The centerpiece of these tours is the oldest National Park in Lesotho, Sehlabathebe National Park which was created by Lesotho’s first Prime Minister, Chief Leabua Jonathan. The park is a little known, secret jewel!! Explore the hidden gems of this park: soaring mountain vistas, secluded rock pools, waterfalls, rock dwellings, massive overhangs, rock art, rock arches and a beautiful and unique ecosystem of plants, birds and animals. The tours end with a unique way to cross from one country to another, via a border post which has a road coming into it from the South African side, but only a path on the Lesotho side.

By involving Basotho stakeholders, they have created opportunities for communities to proudly showcase their unique cultural practices, engaging with guests in an authentic manner, thereby earning their respect. They are the future of tourism in Africa". ~ Judges
Sadly, the historic Park Lodge where we used to stay has been closed to the public. We therefore stay at the basic Mabotle Lodge in the nearby Sehlabathebe village which is currently the only option in the area.
