EXPLORING LESOTHO ON TWO WHEELS

A windy lunch stop in Golden Gate Highlands National Park.
Camping in the Drakensberg.
Crossing the Woodstock Dam.
The foothills of the Sani Pass, our passage into Lesotho.
Reaching the top at sundown before making camp on the cliff edge of the pass.
Braving the morning frost to get the first round of coffee in.
Chinese local investment provided freshly laid, yet deserted roads.
Traditional round 'Mokhoro' huts built into the hillside
Cherry blossom, aloe plants and sunburnt hills.
On the road to the border, we stumbled upon a Bosotho horse race taking place in a small village. Racing ponies are trained to 'triple', a gait between a trot and a canter.
