Dams · Mountains · Historic Sites
Founded in 1869 by the British, Lesotho's main city--Maseru--lies on the border with South Africa on a plateau surrounded by red hills. While there are not a lot of sites to see within the city, its geographical position serves as an advantage because you can easily cross the border or head into the highlands of Lesotho from here. Restaurants and bars here offer local cuisine and drinks. To arrange what you want to do in Maseru, use our Lesotho road trip planning app.
