AttractionsLadybrand, Thabo Mofutsanyana The pretty town of Ladybrand, sometimes spoken of as a sleepy border town, is surrounded by the undulating hills of the eastern Free State, almost midway between the towns of Hobhouse and Ficksburg virtually on the edge of the border with Lesotho. For this reason, and the fact that many of its residents commute daily to Maseru, Ladybrand is often lovingly referred to as the 'capital' of Lesotho, and is considered its gateway. Maloti Drakensberg Route The Maloti Drakensberg Route is an innovation to span the mountainous border between South Africa and the Kingdom of Lesotho which rub shoulders with some of the most scenic parts of the Eastern Cape, Eastern Free State and Ukhahlamba Drakensberg. Site: www.malotiroute.co.za Activities in Lesotho (The border post is only 12km from Ladybrand) Outdoor There are good walking trails in Maseru, along with many craft markets, but without doubt the biggest attraction in Lesotho is hiking. However, make sure before you set out that you use either a guide or compass and map, obtainable at the Department of Land, Surveys and Physical Planning on Lerotholi Road Maseru. For birdwatching enthusiast, Lesotho is renowned for its large raptor population, including the Cape Vulture, the rare Bearded Vulture, the Steppe Buzzard and the Black Eagle.
