Central Highlands
Spectacular lakes and landscapes
This awe-inspiring region has opened up to tourists by the development of the massive Highland Water Project that creates both new water and electricity supplies for Lesotho and much of the nearby regions of Southern Africa. New roads into the mountains have established better access, and the new dams are creating spectacular lakes that provide stunning new vistas and are home to increasing numbers of birds. The area is great area for pony trekking, hiking and trout fishing.
The best border crossings to reach this area are at the Maseru Bridge, Ficksburg or Caledonspoort. The main Mountain Road from Maseru takes you east via Molimo Nthuse to Mantsonyane and Thaba-Tseka, while from Hlotse the main Highlands Water Project road takes you past Pitseng and Ha Lejone to the Katse Dam Wall and Bokong.
