Minibus taxis connect Maseru to larger towns; 4x4 vehicles are highly recommended for mountain roads; pony trekking is a traditional and effective way to explore remote areas; local buses are available but slow.

Cultural Etiquette

Greetings are important—'Khotso' (Peace) is a standard greeting; hospitality is a bridge; the 'Basotho Hat' (Mokorotlo) is a national symbol; always ask for permission before taking photos of people or their homes; use both hands when giving or receiving objects.

Internet & Connectivity

Mobile internet is available in Maseru and main towns via Vodacom and Econet; 4G is reliable in urban areas; connectivity becomes very limited to non-existent in deep highland valleys; Wi-Fi is standard in upscale lodges.
