Best Insight you can get into Lesotho

Reviewed December 15, 2014

We spent the Last days of our South Africa trip in the Drakensberge, staying at Karma Backpackers (huge recommendation by the way...) and followed the advice of our host to contact Zee for a Lesotho tour. One of the best experiences... Very capable educated super funny guide, she showed us Lesotho without the typical tourist vibe and one could really see that the villagers liked here and were happy to show you their homes, share their meals, stories and home brewed "beer"... We also saw some cave drawings, amazing mountain views, played pool with the locals and had an "interesting" ;) ride in one of the famous taxis... We really enjoyed our day with Zee, her taking on very small groups (we were 3) let us have a great experience we can highly recommend!

The 4 of us have just come back from a great holiday in South Africa. One of the great highlights was the 2 days we spent in the Drakensberg Mountains (at Witsieshoek Lodge). We hired Zee to take us to the top spots and we had a great time in her company. On Day 1 she took us to the Amphitheatre, Sentinel Peak and Tugela Falls via the pretty scary chain ladders (see http://www.witsieshoek.co.za/activities/hiking-trails/chain-ladder-via-sentinel). One of us has a pretty bad head for heights but Zee's calm but firm approach gave her the confidence to scale the 2 ladders - it was a real relief and confidence booster having her there. On Day 2 we went into Lesotho, drank some home brewed beer, visited a local primary school (which Zee helps fund), climbed another bill hill and looked at the San rock art. To finish off we stopped by in a local township to have a couple of beers.A great day out on many scores. Throughout our time together we found Zee to be great fun, knowledgable and not afraid to talk honestly about what actually goes in South Africa (e.g. the apparent separation between blacks and whites). We have no hesitation in recommending Zee. John & Sue, Nick & Ceri (from the UK).
