A couple of hills, a couple of bends – Semonkong Lodge is where the road ends! We recommend your more rugged 2-wheel drive family sedan with height clearance. There is 65kms of rough gravel road.

Maseru to Semonkong is only 130 kms BUT A 3 HOUR DRIVE! It is advisable to fill up with fuel before departing Maseru. Distances in Lesotho must be judged by time and not kilometres!

For the more adventurous catch the local Semonkong bus daily from Maseru Central Bus Station.
