Christmas in Semonkong, Lesotho

Semonkong Travel Blog › entry 17 of 58 › view all entries

After 6 months of travelling many things have happened. I saw whalesharks in Mozambique, heard lions roaring in Serengeti, smelled exotic spices in Zanzibar. Froze on the way to the summit of Kilimanjaro and sweated in the deserts of Oman. Met Xhosa people with painted faces in South Africa, sipped black tea with Pakistani workers in the Emirates and walked with Buddhist monks around stupas in Nepal...

Christmas in Semonkong, Lesotho

I am back in Maseru, the capital of Lesotho. I stayed a full week in Semonkong in Lesotho. The lodge was great, many friendly travelers and a perfect Christmas dinner. Semonkong is situated above 2000m sealevel, in the shade were freezing cold temperatures. Maletsunyane Falls are really spectacular, have never seen anything like that. After a short training we abseiled down the 200 meter drop. Got totally wet, like in a washing mashine. Took a lots of photos... but cant upload them.... I will travel to Durban in the next days.
