Armelle and Jonathan are wonderful hosts who are really invested in making your time at Semonkong as memorable as can be. Both of them were so informed about the area and were happy to give advice. Our contact with them via e-mail before we arrived was friendly and full of all the info we needed. Semonkong is worth the drive... More

To get the bad stuff out of the way first, my first and only warning about coming to this place is the road. In general it can't be helped as all the roads in Lesotho are pretty awful, but going to Semonkong (from Maseru) is abut a five hour drive on most unsealed roads. Often we thought that we were...

The place and the environment are worth per se, but Semonkong Lodge adds something more to your visit... More
