Due to the fact that it is quite high, we will have some hills to walk up.
We start off just below 3000m and end up at 3482m. Therefore, you can certainly expect some great views over the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. The first day of hiking is about 2 hours to where we camp by a lovely mountain stream. Read more about Lesotho here.
