Lesotho

If you’ve ever heard of the Kingdom of Lesotho before, it’s probably because it served as inspiration for the depiction of Wakanda in the Marvel movie Black Panther. This enclaved country is located within the borders of South Africa, but it’s been fully independent since 1966, after almost a century of British rule.

Despite its Hollywood connection, Lesotho isn’t extremely popular with tourists, but those who do come here start their adventure in the capital city of Maseru. The natural beauty of this tiny country is also worth exploring, especially the breathtaking Maletsunyane Falls, Maluti Mountains, and the country’s highest peak Thabana Ntlenyana.

Eswatini

One of Africa’s smallest countries is located near the border between Mozambique and South Africa, and it’s also known by the name Swaziland. It’s best known for its wildlife and game reserves. Despite its tiny size, Eswatini is home to 107 species of mammals and 507 species of birds, and that’s one of its strongest suits.

Ezulwini Valley, Lebombo Mountains, and Malolotja National Park are some of the best places to explore the natural beauty of Eswatini. They’re all located in close proximity to the country’s top reserves, and the capital city of Mbabane is never too far away.

While it only has 2 million residents and not a lot of cities or towns to see, its mountain attractions attract climbers and adventure seekers who have been lucky enough to discover this small kingdom.

Only two ski resorts exist in all of Africa, and arguably the best one is Afriski in Lesotho. Containing a top elevation of 10,571 feet and a vertical drop of over 1,000 feet to its base, skiers will have a great time shredding the slopes at an unlikely place at this resort.

In the Southern Hemisphere’s winter is the Afriski season, which lasts from early June until late August most years. During these precious months of the year, various slopes on the open are there for shredding thanks to the region’s cold climate, occasional snowfall, and snowmaking machines.

Not only will you find the experience of skiing or snowboarding in Africa a thrilling possibility in and of itself, but you’ll also find other experiences in these mountains such as mountain biking and hiking.

There is truly no way for anyone to be bored at Afriski.

So, if you find yourself looking for a unique thing to do during the Southern Hemisphere’s winter or the Northern Hemisphere’s hot summer, why not plan a trip to go skiing in Lesotho?
