Lesotho, a high-altitude landlocked kingdom surrounded by South Africa, is crisscrossed by a network of rivers and mountain ranges, including the 3,482 m peak of Thabana Ntlenyana. On the Thaba Bosiu Plateau, near Lesotho’s capital, Maseru, are ruins dating back to the 19th-century reign of Moshoeshoe I. Thaba Bosiu looks down on the iconic Mount Qiloane, an enduring symbol of the country’s Basotho people.
