  • In 2019 I travelled solo from my home in Durban to Sehlabathebe National Park where I stayed for 2 nights. I continued my journey to Katse Dam via the scenic Matebeng Pass.
    This trip was a great journey of discovery and solitude, spending time alone and exploring some of the wonderful attractions of Lesotho.
    If you have not yet been to Lesotho, I highly recommend that you do.

    Hi Andre, thanks so much for this great video and all the detail of your trip! I've wanted to visit Sehlabathebe for a long time but I'm never sure how to book accommodation. Do you have any info?

      I've always found it difficult to make pre arrangements for accommodation at the park. You can try this number below however, their numbers change all the time.

    Great trip man and really great video and content. Nice to see you out and about - keep it going. This is a bucket list trip for me. Is Matebeng Pass doable in a 4x2 Hi-Rider in the dry season? How safe is Bob Phillips campsite for an overnight stop?

    • @ThrillSeeker
      @ThrillSeeker  Рік тому +1

      Thanks boet. Vehicle clearance is most important for driving Matebeng Pass. Even a 4X4 on std tyres might be susceptible to undercarriage damage due to the large rocks/boulders on some of the sections. But to answer your question, yes a 4X2 with high clearance and with a rear diff lock would be okay (although I don't recommend it as the weather at such high altitude can change within hours. Bob Philips camp site is community run and is very safe.

    This is a spectacular video! I've been to Lesotho twice before , with dirtbikes and 4x4s , using the Sani Pass route. A friend sent me this video and you had my attention from start to finish. Great video editing and camera angles as well. I'm definitely going to try out these routes. Thanks!
