Hotels in Maseru, Lesotho
Maseru is the capital region of Lesotho, sitting in the foothills of the Maluti Mountains, known for its traditional Basotho pony trekking and vibrant craft markets like the Setoto Market. The climate is temperate, with mild summers averaging 25°C (77°F) from December to February-perfect for hiking the nearby Qiloane Falls-and cold winters dropping to 5°C (41°F) from June to August, when you can ski at Afriski, the kingdom's only ski resort, just an hour's drive away. Want to save cash? Visit in the shoulder months of October or April for cheaper lodging and clear trails for pony rides through the mountain passes.
