In good news for snow lovers, earlier this week it was announced that Lesotho borders are now open for leisure and business travel. However, the roads are currently closed for 2×4 vehicles.
“We are very excited about the early snow and to welcome our guests and loyal snow enthusiasts back to Afriski in a few weeks. It might be a little different with COVID protocols in place but we will offer the same quality ski experience people have come to know,” says Peter Peyper, Afriski Managing Director.
Let it snow, let it snow, Lesotho! The Mountain Kingdom has experienced something of a blizzard overnight, with large parts of the country now completely draped in the white stuff. What’s more, this weather is now heading to South Africa.

AfriSki, the popular tourist resort locating high-up in our enclaved neighbour nation, received a substantial bulk of the snowfall. At least 10cm has settled here so far – and there could be more to come:
