📣 Notas para viajeros

Lesotho is a landlocked kingdom, often called the 'Kingdom in the Sky,' surrounded by South Africa. It is known for its high altitude, vibrant culture, and resourceful people, appealing to adventurous travelers.

  • Moshoeshoe Day on March 14 celebrates the country's founding father.
  • The main procession in Maseru features people in traditional attire, sometimes carrying sticks or performing dances.
  • The procession typically moves from the Palace to the Sotho Stadium.
  • Military and police parades are also held at the stadium.
  • It is appreciated to learn basic Sesotho greetings. Address elders or people of higher status as 'Ntate' (male) or 'Me' (female), and use both hands when giving or receiving items. Maintain composure in social interactions, and avoid wasting food or eating while walking.
