Lesotho: Thaba Bosiu Cultural Village

Max sitting on a horse.A small house with steps leading to the front door and a red, glowing figure above the door.The sun shines above a mountain that has small snow patches on it.A handmade wooden stick fence next to a round stone building. An outdoor seating area with chairs and tables next to a building.Lauren and Max stand in front of a sign that says "Thaba Bosiu Cultural Village".The sky and trees seen next to a small, brown house.A collection of round, stone houses with black, cone roofs.

Lauren poses with a horse and a tour guide. We stayed two nights at the Thaba Bosiu Cultural Village in Lesotho. Thaba Bosiu is a sandstone plateau located between the Orange and Caledon Rivers in the Maseru District of Lesotho. 

It was once the capital of Lesotho, and served as the residence and military stronghold of Moshoeshoe I, the kingdom’s founding father, throughout most of his reign in the mid-19th century. In 1967, Lesotho’s government declared the mountain a national monument. 

I hope you enjoy these photos of Thaba Bosiu and the surrounding area.
