The Lesotho National Museum is a must-visit for families looking to learn about the country's history and culture. The museum has a great collection of exhibits showcasing traditional Basotho crafts, dress, and ways of life, as well as more contemporary art.
A panoramic view of the 192m Maletsunyane Falls can be enjoyed on horseback, via cable car, or on foot. On the premises is the highest commercially operated abseil in the world, long and short zip-lines, a sunset deck, and lovely hiking trails suitable for children.
Taxis are the best way to get around Maseru. Fares depend on the distance, so it's important to agree on a price with the driver before the journey commences. Alternatively, families who want to explore the countryside can rent a car for around LSL300 per day.
Travel time from Moshoeshoe International Airport to Maseru is approximately 30 minutes, and the estimated cost of a taxi is LSL100.
If you have more time, be sure to check out the Caledonspoort Border Post for beautiful scenery and wildlife. Families with toddlers may find the hike to Maletsunyane Falls to be demanding – consider carrying them on a backpack.
If you have less time in Maseru, consider visiting the village of Morija. The Morija Museum & Archives is a fantastic place to learn about Lesotho's history, and families can take walks in the botanical gardens or the dinosaur footprints site.
Moshoeshoe International Airport (MSU) is located 18km southeast of Maseru, Lesotho's capital.
