Once known as Basutoland, Lesotho, surrounded by majestic mountains, is the traditional home of the Sotho people of Southern Africa. It is one of the smallest countries in Africa, and most of Lesotho’s towns, including Maseru, its capital, are situated in the lowlands to the west of the country. To the east of the lowlands, lie the often inaccessible Maluti Mountains or Highlands which cover two-thirds of Lesotho. This area rises more as it continues eastward, ending in the magnificent Drakensberg Mountains which are often snow-capped. And, perhaps because much of this beautiful land is so mountainous, many rural folk still use the tough little Basuto ponies as a means of transport.
