Lesotho horse riding gives the tourists the widest opportunity to explore and enjoy the spectacular mountains and wilderness of the country riding on a horse. Lesotho horse riding is also one of the major modes of transportation in the country. With a rugged terrain of stony mountains, Lesotho hardly has any well constructed and maintained roads. As a result, the horses are used as a mode of transportation in the Kingdom of Lesotho.
The roads and the railways of the country of Lesotho are not excellently developed to form the best ways of communication between two distant villages. Hence, riding on horseback in Lesotho is one of the best options to reach the villages lying far apart. Even the Sehlabathebe National Park, the only official national park in Lesotho, can be reached comfortably only by availing hired ponies from Bushman’s Neck in South Africa. The national park also provides the visitors with the opportunity of hiring ponies inside for exploring all the corners of the park.
Horse riding in Lesotho provides the tourists with an exciting experience of going back to the days of wilderness. The ponies and horses are rented in different major tourist places of the country. The Basotho ponies are said to be the most trained, sure footed and tough. No prior experience of riding is necessary to take the saddle. However, novice riders can avail of special guides on request. Horse back safari tours are very common among the travelers visiting Lesotho. The address to find these ponies is the Basotho Pony-Trekking Center.
