Lesotho 2017.

In January 2017 I explored, with a botanical group, for three weeks a large part of Lesotho. We started our trip around Witsieshoek for a few days and then we drove into Lesotho. On the world map (see at home page) you are able to see the areas we visited. We traveled all the way by jeeps as some roads are just dirt paths. Our agent, who arranged all the transport, accommodation and food was Thaba Tours http://www.thabatours.co.za)
