Explore More About the Culture and Heritage of Lesotho:

Lesotho’s most ancient cultural heritage is preserved in the atmospheric rock overhangs that characterize the kingdom’s highlands.

In prehistoric times, these basalt-capped shelters provided refuge to San (Bushman) hunter-gatherers, who adorned the sandstone walls with rock paintings depicting their mysterious shamanic trance rituals.

Located 24km outside of the city of Maseru, Thaba Bosiu is a National Monument and Lesotho's foremost tourist destination, holding great historical significance as the birthplace of the Basotho People.

A group of Basotho women working together makes hand-spun mohair rugs with geometric patterns, wall hangings, beautiful and fashionable scarves, and handbags. Elelloang Basali (Be Aware Women) can be found in a building made of recycled cans by the main road in the north (Maputsoe) of the town.

Major Bell's Tower was built by the British at the end of the 1870s and is still largely intact. Visitors can see an interesting primitive statue of a European in front of a nearby local administration office.
