Experience one of the most beautiful and remote countries in Africa with Semonkong Lodge.

Hiding away in the magnificent Maluti Mountains of Lesotho, you will discover the gem that is Semonkong Lodge, built on the banks of the Maletsunyane River using only local stone and thatch, offering just the right balance between civilisation and rustic elegance; a perfect base to explore this area on the iconic Basotho pony, mountain bikes or dare to take on the highest commercial abseil in the world.

Just down the river from the lodge, the mighty Maletsunyane Falls is one of the highest single dropping Falls in Africa, creating a haze of smokey mist as the water plummets with savage splendour. This is how Semonkong, The Place of Smoke, got its name. If you are visiting us, you NEED to add our Guinness World Record abseil to your bucket list. We dare you to step off the 204m high ledge of the Maletsunyane Falls and experience the ultimate adventure. www.semonkonglodge.com/
