Somehow linked with South Africa, the economy of Lesotho is based on agriculture, livestock, manufacturing and mining. However, the manufacturing industry is now the leading sector in the country with the export of clothing, textile, and leather. Lesotho is grateful in natural resources water and diamonds, are both extracted and is exported. Even if the mining and energy sector does not have a developed industry, Lesotho is a source of diamond and among the country’s export. However, the tourism industry is an expanding sector, with the national parks, the panoramas and natural activities it offers, Lesotho as a dream destination.
Lesotho is home to the highest altitude pub in Africa at 2874 metres above sea level. It’s located right at the border with South Africa, and the end of the iconic Sani Pass (or the beginning if you come from Lesotho). A cold beer is very welcome when driving this scenic pass starting in South Africa and to top it all off, you’ll have an amazing view from the top (while sipping that cold beer).
