The first quarter flew past at Motebong Lodge
It is not so long ago when we were saying bye to spring hello to summer and already we are almost saying hello to Winter. As the saying goes; ‘time flies when you are having a good time!’ As we celebrated the end of the year, we also hosted one of the biggest hiking groups
Into spring & leading to Xmas & New Year
As spring sets-in, we are treated to a variety of colours and pleasant smells as trees flower. Motebong is particularly proud of its peach trees which are usually the first clear sign that the seasons are changing from winter to spring and then summer. More importantly however, these flowering trees remind of the fruit feast
Hiking & Bird watching Motebong Lodge
We are emerging from a winter that did not give us much snow and the thrills that go with the snow, but all is not lost! As the trees start threatening to show early shoots and the birdlife starts to make its presence felt with the early-morning wake-up calls, the highlands have other pleasures
Snow season 2017
Our snow season is normally from June to August. This year we had unusually early snow falls in April and some light snow in June. Forecasts show some additional light snow falls in the first and last weeks of July and possibly the first week of August
Driving tips for Lesotho
WINTER DRIVING: Be mindful of slippery conditions (black ice) when driving early morning or evenings, especially in shaded areas in the highlands. Snow can hamper driving and absolute care should be taken when driving in snow – avoid experimenting with 4×2 rear wheel drive vehicles in snow. Plan to reach your destination well before sun-set
