Lesotho: Cave dwellers vow to stay despite hardships • FRANCE 24 English

The Kome Caves in Lesotho have been occupied since the 19th century, when tribes fleeing conflict and drought took refuge there. Two hundred years later, a handful of families, many the descendants of those original tribes, are still making a life in the simple mud dwellings despite daily hardships that include problems with their water supply and frequently finding themselves cut off from the outside world.

I bet if they could rent some of the huts out, people would go there for a vacation and to "really get away". Fascinating lifestyle.

[@lauralafauve5520]

Hopefully news pieces like this one will help bring in a few more tourists.
Blessings on them!

Tourism would absolutely destroy their way of life.
They chose to remain and live this style of life, so be it. Struggles are different everywhere 🙋🏼

Hardship even in the big city.... Helloooooo

[@jimmybritt9537]

If you choose that way , then live that way and quit complaining 🇺🇸

This is life. I love the indigenous way of life and I would choose it over civilized life if I had a choice.

[@jerrymiller9039]

You do have the choice. Move there

[@raeallyn7030]

What is UNCIVILIZED about anything you see here? 👀

[@TemplarX2]

That's not a cave though but an escarpment.

[@chicargowest]

I'd rather be there then in the city
