"Known as the 'Roof of Africa' the mountains of Lesotho are the most important watershed in southern Africa. The Maletsunyane falls at Semonkong are the highest straight drop falls in Africa and Thaba Ntlenyane is the highest mountain south of the Congo. The Basotho are the only Africans to have adapted to living part of the year in snow. In two-thirds of this rugged mountainous country horses, donkeys and light aircraft are the only means of transport. Despite this, the Basotho have the highest literacy rate of any African tribe and are known for their cheerful hospitality." .
