Semonkong
August 2015
After days winding through the Lesotho mountains we reached the small village of Semonkong in the south west of the country. From here we left our bikes for horses to explore the Thaba Putsoa Mountains.
This is the second part of our journey across Lesotho. Part 1 is here.
The change of transport was justified. With few rests, our horses climbed over mountain pass after mountain pass.
Careful not to let this one trot off with all our food
Philip, the son of the village chief who was to look after us for the night, guided us over the mountains
