What to do in Lesotho

Lesotho, the "Kingdom in the Sky," floats above South Africa like some forgotten mountain realm that time overlooked. Adventure seekers will find paradise in the rugged Maluti Mountains, where hiking trails and horseback expeditions reveal landscapes so dramatic they barely seem real. Adrenaline junkies shouldn't miss Maletsunyane Falls near Semonkong – this 192-meter single-drop cascade provides the perfect backdrop for what might be Africa's most spectacular abseiling experience. History buffs can scramble up Thaba Bosiu, the flat-topped mountain fortress where King Moshoeshoe I outmaneuvered enemies and essentially birthed a nation. Perhaps most fascinating are the Ha Kome Cave Dwellings, where families still live in homes ingeniously built into sandstone overhangs, blurring the line between natural and manmade. The UNESCO-listed Sehlabathebe National Park rounds out Lesotho's offerings with its otherworldly rock formations, unique alpine vegetation, and ancient San rock art – proof that this high-altitude kingdom has been captivating humans for millennia.

Adventure

For all the vagabonds out there
You really can’t go wrong with a classic African safari, be it on the plains of the Serengeti or off-piste in Zimbabwe. But what if we were to tell you that you could clamber to the top of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro; join a private expedition in the deserts of Chad; or even trek gorillas and sleep on the rim of a volcano in the DRC? If afternoon siestas are not your bag, have a look at some of our adventure itineraries, guaranteed to satisfy even the most intrepid travellers.

Horseback riding

Get ready for the ride of your life
If you think you’ve done and seen it all, then how about swapping four wheels for four legs, and booking a horseback expedition through some of the world’s wildest places? Whether you’re an experienced equestrian or a nervous-but-keen beginner, there’s a riding experience out there for you. Of course, Africa is always at the top of our list for the sheer beauty of its landscapes but there is a myriad of other glorious spaces to explore from the pampas of Patagonia to the deserts of India. All that’s left to say is, giddy-up!

Active

Keep your heart rate high – Timbuktu style
While we’re advocates for some good R&R, we also believe in adding some adventure to any trip. Across our multitude of destinations, there is always the opportunity to get ‘active’ and explore on foot, bicycle, horse or camelback, hot air balloon or microlight (and many more). From treks through Chilean Patagonia to walking safaris in Zambia, kitesurfing in Zanzibar to canoeing around Halong Bay, there is an endless array of activities to dive into.

Family

Bring the whole troop
Seeing the world through the eyes of a child is truly magical. Everything just seems bigger, brighter, and altogether more exciting… And family holidays don’t have to mean stress, tears, or packing half the house. With a little Timbuktu magic, they become wild, wonderful, memory-making adventures that your kids will be talking about for years (and so will you). We’ve got top-notch family guides and activities ranging from archery in Kenya to surfing in Indonesia, private villas with swimming pools and enough space to tire out little legs, and chefs who can whip up pasta at the drop of a hat. So go on, bring them all!
