MALEALEA - SANI PASS - SOUTHERN ROUTE. </font></b></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">These are quieter roads, very few tourists use this route. Spectacular
sandstone passes along the Orange River valley. Completely different to
the Central &amp; Northern routes of Lesotho. (This tour can be shortened
to a 4 DAY TRIP)</font></p>

Mpharane, Mohaleshoek - Seaka Bridge.</b> Just before Seaka bridge,
turn left and drive along a track for 92 kms to the village of
Nohana. On the left hand side lives Chief Nohana who will welcome
you to his beautiful village. Camping. Beautiful sandstone cliffs
and gorges. Trout fishing in the nearby Ketane river.</font></td>

<td width="91%"><font face="Arial" SIZE="2">You have to
back track to the <b> Senqu River</b>, but the views back are spectacular
and unspoilt. The historical <b> cave house</b> of Rev Ellenberger &amp;
his family is at the Masitise Primary School just before Quthing.
He established the Paris Evangelical mission in 1835. Here you can
view a <b> dinosaur footprint</b> embedded in the roof of the cave and the
local priest will tell you about the history of the families. Just
past the turnoff to Mt. Moorosi from Quthing are more Dinosaur
Footprints embedded in the rock. There is a Danish-government
sponsored complex at the sight alongside the road a few hundred
metres from the turn off. Drive past <b> Mt Moorosi</b> and up the nearby
mountain away from the main town. Introduce yourself to the chief
or head man and find a compsite. A spectacular view overlooking
the Orange or Senqu River.Here is the Mt. Moorosi mountain, well
known for the gun war of Chief Moorosi and the Cape Mounted
Rifles. (Old bullets are still found on the mountain &amp; Paul
Kruger&#146;s inscription is inside one of the caves.)</font></td>

<td width="91%"><font face="Arial" SIZE="2">Either
continue on the tar road to the <b> Seforong Gorge,</b> one of the most
spectacular sights, where two rivers meet in two canyons. At the
Ha Reeng School sign turn left into the first village and ask for
Paulus Thelang. This is difficult 4 x 4 track to traverse, but
full of excitment trying to get to one of the most beautiful sites
in Lesotho. Take a hike down to the confluence of the Orange
River.</font>
<p><font face="Arial" SIZE="2">Option to drive through the <b> Mokoaes
Valley</b>, turn off to Letsies
lake, backtrack and continue to Mphaki and onto Seforong. (You
will need an extra day, the variations are endless)</font></td>

my previous trip in April, 98, the original road had washed away
and we were diverted to drive along ariver bed for someway. A
perfect camping spot amongst poplar trees.</font></td>
