Lesotho is a small country entirely surrounded by South Africa. Its capital, Maseru, is a growing city situated on the Caledon River. Lesotho’s population is about 2 million, with Sesotho and English as the official languages. Lesotho is the only country in the world where all land lies above 1,000 meters, earning it the nickname "Kingdom in the Sky." The climate is mountainous, with cold winters, sometimes bringing snow, and warm, dry summer days.

The economy of Lesotho relies heavily on agriculture, mining, and remittances from workers in South Africa. One of the country’s main attractions is the Drakensberg Mountains, offering opportunities for climbing and skiing. Lesotho is also home to one of Africa's highest dams, the Katse Dam, which supplies water to both Lesotho and parts of South Africa. Lesotho is a land of unique culture and traditions, with a rich heritage passed down through generations.
