📍 Lesotho is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa, uniquely situated entirely within another country. It is completely surrounded by South Africa, making it an enclave.
Lesotho’s terrain is predominantly mountainous, earning it the nickname “The Kingdom in the Sky,” as it is one of the highest countries in the world by average elevation. The country is dominated by highlands and plateaus, with the Drakensberg Mountains forming much of its eastern border. Rivers originating in Lesotho, such as the Orange River, are important for water resources in the region.
Its high altitude influences its climate, with cooler temperatures and occasional snowfall in winter. Lesotho’s geographic isolation and mountainous terrain have shaped its culture, economy, and development.
