Transport

A number of buses travel between Maseru and Thaba-Tseka, leaving during the morning from both ends. The journey takes 6-8 hours. The road carries a reasonable amount of traffic, so hitching is an option. Mission Aviation fly between Maseru and Thaba Tseka. Phone them to check on details.

Options from Thaba-Tseka

The first option is to go north from Thaba-Tseka to Katse Dam. The second option is to travel east, following the road into the Senqu valley, across the river at Koma Koma Bridge, and up again to Makunyapane, (also known as Taung). From here, continue north-east, through the villages of Linakeng and Linakaneng, over the Menoaneng Pass at 3030m and down via Molomung Lodge to Mokhotlong or Sani Pass.

From Thaba-Tseka, buses and taxis go to Makunyapane and on as far as Linakaneng. From here, you'll have to hitch over the pass as far as the village of Janteu, from where buses run past Molumung Lodge and on to Mokhotlong. The road over the pass has been upgraded so there should be a reasonable amount of traffic.

The third option branches south at Makunyapane. A four-wheel drive track heads south down the Senqu valley and passes the St. Theresa Mission and Mashai store to reach Sehonghong.
There is no public transport on this route past Makunyapane and traffic is sparse. Patience is required. From Sehonghong you can take the road to Sehlabathebe or the flight to Qachas Nek.
