Thanks Kagiso......wena ubuwa sesotho?

Sure can assist with the trip to Lesotho, in fact we planning a small trip into that country in April to the only National Park there called Sehlabathebe National Park. Apparently you can only get there by 4x4 and it looks awesome. Think the main thing you need to tell me is your planned entry/exit points and time you guys want to spend.....and I can try and assist from there.
