Geography and history

Sehlabathebe is a small village located in the Qacha’s Nek region of Lesotho. This little village is located on the outskirts of the country’s only national park. The name Sehlabathebe means “Shiled of the Plateau” and this name is a perfect description for the rolling grasslands, wild flowers and absolute silence. The atmosphere that is created by all these characteristics is one of complete isolation.

The Sehlabathebe National Park was established in 1969 and is well-known for its various types of grasslands. This park is part of the Maluti-Drakensberg Transfrontier Conservation Area.

This is the only designated national park in Lesotho. It comprises 6500 hectares at an average elevation of 2400m. The park conserves an area of high mountain plateau bordering on South Africa.
