Afriski Mountain Resort

Sharing the riches of the mountains

Closer to home but a world away from the stresses and strains of everyday life, Lesotho offers you a warm welcome – no matter how cold and snowy the winters may get. Explore the Maluti mountains, test your own limits on the slopes or discover the rich cultural heritage of the Basotho people – it’s all here for you.

Reflecting the diversity of Lesotho’s landscapes, Afriski offers experiences to suit just about everybody, no matter what season it is and what you’re into. Summer is trails time: MTB, Enduro, hiking and altitude training. And when the snow falls, it’s time to strap on your skis or snowboard and head for the slopes or Kapoko Snow Park.

The Kingdom of Lesotho

Lesotho offers incredible natural beauty and scenic splendour, plus warm hospitality and fascinating history. It’s a wonderfully uplifting country – quite literally, in fact: you’ll often find yourself at altitudes in excess of 3 000m above sea level.

Within Lesotho’s border are approximately 2.5 million people, incredible mountains and some of the best winter and summer leisure opportunities available anywhere.
On your drive to Afriski, you will experience much of what makes Lesotho special. Basotho huts with roofs modelled after the shape of traditional Basotho hats and the recalcitrant livestock standing in the roads are two of the first clues that you’ve arrived somewhere new.

Even while you’re zipping down the slopes or flying along the trails, it’s hard to escape the feeling that things move more slowly in Lesotho. There’s a timeless quality to the rugged peaks and dramatic waterfalls. The Basotho people – often clad in blankets and gumboots – have an uncanny knack for appearing as if by magic, and so too do their smiles.

These will be some of the first things that strike you about Lesotho… and then there’s Afriski.

Whether you’re here in Lesotho and at Afriski in winter or summer, you’ll find that you’re on a natural high from the moment you arrive. It’s a feeling that will last long after you’ve descended the mountain passes and returned home.

The magic of Lesotho never leaves you – it’s one holiday destination that will never let you down.
