Known as Africa’s Mountain Kingdom, Lesotho is one of the most challenging road cycling destinations in Africa, if not the world, but it has yet to be uncovered by international cycling fans. With soaring mountain passes and gradients reaching an eye-watering 30%, Lesotho cycling holidays are not for the fainthearted, but if you love to climb and dream of cycling roads that few have cycled before you, this could be the perfect destination for your next cycling break.

Conveniently situated within the confines of South Africa, Lesotho is easily accessible from Johannesburg Airport, and as it is just a short hop from major attractions such as Kruger National Park and Cape Town, it combines perfectly with a safari, city break, or even South Africa’s most iconic sportive – the Cape Town Cycle Tour!
