About Sehlabathebe National Park
Sehlabathebe is Lesotho's oldest national park, on the high plateau of the southern Drakensberg at around 2,400 metres, on the border with South Africa's Bushman's Nek. It is a landscape of sandstone rock formations, tarns, alpine grassland and San rock paintings, inscribed with the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg as the Maloti-Drakensberg World Heritage Site in 2013. The Maloti minnow, a fish found nowhere else, lives in its streams. It is remote: a lodge and a campsite, reached by a long gravel road from Qacha's Nek or on foot across the border on the Sehlabathebe pass, and best in summer when the roads are open.
