​
36 Days into the Covid19 Lockdown in South Africa our neighbours from Lesotho remind us that we are slowly moving into winter,  they have had their first snowfall already.  Whilst they had the joy of playing in the snow,  we found ourselves feeling the cold that accompanies this white wonderland in Johannesburg.   

​

Lesotho with its majestic mountains, people, waterfalls and silence make for a wonderful getaway.  In 2012 I found myself in Semongkong  to abseil 204m (670ft) down the Maletsunyane waterfall, 50 story’s of pure ecstasy.

​
Lesotho left its mark in my heart , with its kind people who scale mountains as if they are walking on flat land I vowed to return to this beautiful part of the world.  Whilst we wait for the lockdown to end our conversations around travel continue and this past week we chatted to the Mosotho Prince himself  Zondi Tsatsi Mohlatsane the founder of Love Your Destination (LYD) Travel.  He shares his story with us and take us on journey that will leave you inspired.
