Lesotho Pony Treks

Print Email

Detailed Trip Description

These outings range from 1 hour to six days or longer: tailor-made to your requirements. The treks are usually about 7 hours each day. No riding experience is necessary. The huts and horses are hired from the Basotho people in remote areas. The huts are very basic and are equipped with a gas cooker, cooking and eating utensils, and mattresses on the floor. On your trek, you will experience "THE REAL AFRICA." The trails traverse spectacular mountain passes and some of Lesotho's highest waterfalls exploring Bushman paintings and experiencing "Basotho culture." Basotho guides and a packhorse accompany the treks.
