Lesotho, the highest country in Africa, is a paradise for off-road travel. With its dramatic mountains and adventurous trails, it challenges you to explore untouched paths.

From festivals like the Basotho Festival to the diverse cuisine with traditional dishes - every trip here is a delight! The best time for off-road adventures is between October and March, when the landscape blooms. Start your adventure with OVERCROSS and experience Lesotho in all its splendor.
Lesotho Travel and Vacation – Good to know
German citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 14 days in Lesotho. For longer stays, you must apply for a visa, which is available online or through the embassy. Check the latest entry requirements before your trip, as regulations may change. Keep your passport and return ticket ready when you enter.
Moshoeshoe I International Airport in Maseru is the best airport to fly to Lesotho. There are frequent connections from Johannesburg. Also check the arriving flights to ensure a smooth transfer to your destination. From there, you can continue by rental car or taxi to explore the stunning scenery.
The local currency in Lesotho is the Loti (LSL), which is tied to the South African Rand (ZAR). Cash is needed everywhere, while credit cards are only accepted in large cities. It is advisable to carry enough cash, as ATMs are rare in rural areas. Exchange money at the airport or in banks for fair rates.
Travel vaccinations are recommended for Lesotho, including Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus. A travel insurance is strongly advised that covers medical emergencies and evacuation, as it can significantly reduce costs. Check your policy and make sure it is also valid for off-road travel.
For driving in Lesotho, an international driver's license is required, in addition to your German driver's license. This way, you can rent a vehicle without any issues. SIM cards can be purchased at telecommunications stores in urban areas. Have your passport ready for registration. Be sure to choose a good data package for your off-road adventures.
