This title is from the mists of Basotho legend - from the time of King Moshoeshoe. The tiny country of Lesotho is entirely surrounded by South Africa, yet it remains one of the most remote and unexplored areas in the region. The reason for this isolation is the mountains - row upon row of serrated peaks make this the country with the highest 'low point' in the world. But the mountains that give Lesotho its dramatic landscapes have also played a crucial role in creating a country with a unique history. It's a stirring story of courage and cunning, featuring remarkable individuals such as King Moshoeshoe - founder of the Basotho nation - who first gathered people together on the flat-topped hill Thaba Bosiu, the mountain of night. Today, Lesotho is an irresistible lure to adventurous travellers who want to head off the beaten path and tackle the mighty mountains. But Lesotho isn't as inaccessible as it seems. The country is bisected by a number of tarred and gravel roads and these lead the motorist on jaw-dropping drives through some of the highest mountains this side of Kilimanjaro. Small rural villages nestle on the slopes, much as they have done for over 200 years, and delightful lodges are tucked away in secluded valleys. All in all, it's a land of secret vistas and pristine scenery. This book is the first travel guide dedicated solely to Lesotho. It will give the traveller an insight into the remarkable history of the country. Suggested itineraries are included, along with accommodation options, leisure activities and other useful information for trip-planning.

Wilderness Journeys is an exploration of those areas that still represent the quintessential spirit of Africa. We have chosen 26 remote trails that are not easily accessible in a sedan car trails that take you on real wilderness journeys. They include the lakes of southern Mozambique, some of Africa's top game-viewing destinations in Botswana, the wind-swept dunes of the Namib Desert, the snow-capped peaks of Lesotho's Malotis, and the mountain desert of South Africa's Richtersveld. We enjoyed driving these routes.
