- Independence Day (October 4) celebrates Lesotho's independence.
- Moshoeshoe's Day (March 11) commemorates the country's founding father, featuring processions and cultural displays in Maseru.
- Learn basic Sesotho greetings (e.g., 'Dumela') to show respect. Address elders or people of higher status as 'Ntate' (male) or 'Me' (female).
