Lesotho is a world without fences. Breathtaking scenery abounds and every season has unique attractions. Malealea is situated in a remote part of Western Lesotho and is run by the Jones family. Here you get a chance to experience traditional Basotho life. Various Basotho Children"s choirs and a Local Basotho Band, using their local home-made instruments, entertain the guests in the evenings around a campfire. We offer pony trekking and hiking trails ranging from 1 hour to 6 days and there are excellent 4x4 & mountain biking routes. Malealea has a wide variety of accommodation catering for various needs and budgets.
