Maliba Mountain Lodge
This beautiful and picturesque country has long been attracting interest from pony trekkers, hikers and scenery lovers, but until now, no high quality accommodation has been available to host these travellers within the country's border. But all that has now changed with the opening of Maliba Mountain Lodge. Whilst offering the highest standards of service, catering, accommodation and envornment, Maliba is a warm, friendly and inviting place that does not stand on ceremony.
Maliba Mountain Lodge, pronounced ‘Madiba’ in Sotho, is the first 5-star lodge in Lesotho. It is located within the Tsehlanyane National Park, in a pristine sub-alpine wilderness valley deep in the heart of Lesotho’s impressive mountains. This is a protected area, with over 5600 hectares of very rugged wilderness mountain terrain, Maliba will soon boast the highest sub-alpine botanical garden in the world, designed by world-renowned South African botanist Elisa Pooley.
Maliba Mountain lodge is triving to achieve the correct balance between ecological and community sensitivity requirements.
