Ah, Lesotho, the country so enamored with altitude it decided to sit atop the world--or at least, south of the equator. Nestled neatly within South Africa, it’s like an independent island that traded sea for scenic mountains. Endowed with breathtaking landscapes, it's like a secret pocket universe, playing an elaborate game of hide and seek. Known for its dashing Basotho ponies and vibrant woolen hats, Lesotho is the ultimate experience of high stakes... literally!
