MASERU

Airlink connects you to Maseru with direct flights from Johannesburg.

Situated along the north-western border of South Africa, Maseru is the only city in Lesotho, and also the capital of the country. The streets of this bustling little city are lined with an unlikely combination of hat-shaped thatch huts, crumbling colonial buildings, concrete office blocks, and a sprinkling of restaurants and shops.

Lesotho is known as the "Kingdom in the Sky" and Maseru acts as a convenient stop-over point from which to stock up before heading out to explore the rest of this beautiful country. As one of the last truly rural destinations in the world, Lesotho offers travelers the opportunity to experience spectacular mountain-cliffs, vast horizons and endless hiking trails. While Maseru is most loved for being the perfect base from which to explore Lesotho’s wonders, it does have a few things worth seeing in and around the city, including The Lesotho War Memorial, and the Helang Basali Craft Centre in the St Agnes Mission, where you can see some of the world's finest tapestries.

For your return journey fly back to Johannesburg and travel beyond with Airlink to other key leisure destinations.
