The small plant (Aponogeton) in those ponds is found in very few places outside this area: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aponogeton_ranunculiflorus Decades ago i hiked in this beautiful area and took photos of those very special water lilies - beautiful and very rare.
Hi, nice video. I just returned from Lesotho a couple of days ago. I rode almost exactly the same route, just in the opposite direction. Sani Pass has been widened and fortified with gabion baskets. Matabeng Pass is still awesome and Sethlabathebe is stille beautiful although the lodge is gone and the ranger house a little run down. A new and much larger lodge has been built near the entrance.
No, not this time. I entered Lesotho at Tele Bridge and rode along the border to Sethlabathebe, up to Tsaba-Tseka, and out of Lesotho via Sani, up Lotheni road and over Lesotho via Golden Gate. I have video's on my channel if you want to compare conditions. My vids aren't as green as yours, sadly.
Hey great video !! I'm very keen on doing the exact route, two questions did you guys go down ongeluks nek? And when deciding where to camp where they at camping spots or just random ? Cheers !
Hey Raymond Yes we descended Ongeluk's Nek. It was actually the most difficult bit of the whole journey and I fell off several times. It was very rutted and I struggled to keep the GS out of them. Sani Pass, and Sehlabathebe we stayed in accommodation but un-booked. We simply just arrived. Lake Letsie we wild camped. It was a little unnerving but we survived without incident and I would argue that it's the best camp in Africa. I highly recommend that you plan a trip and go. Just keep in mind that that's four years ago now so things may have changed.
