📣 Notas para viajantes

Lesotho is a landlocked country, often called the 'Kingdom in the Sky' due to its high altitude (lowest point above 1,000m). It is noted as an adventure destination with a resourceful population and climate.

• Independence Day (October 4th) celebrates Lesotho's independence.
• Moshoeshoe Day (March 14th) honors the country's founder. Maseru celebrates with a procession from the Palace to the Sotho Stadium, featuring traditional attire and performances.
• Learning basic Sesotho phrases (e.g., Dumela for hello, Kea leboha for thank you) is appreciated. Respect for elders or those in higher social standing is important; address them as 'Ntate' (male) or 'Me' (female). When exchanging items, use both hands and maintain a calm demeanor. It is customary to respond when greeted by locals.
