Discover Lesotho the Mountain Kingdom of Africa | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2018
- Lesotho is a small landlocked country nestled between the Drakensberg and Maloti mountain ranges and it is completely surrounded by South Africa. Officially a Kingdom, previously known as Basutoland, and a place that we left with the regret of not staying for longer.
Green valleys, sharp mountains, rivers, nature reserves and several national parks make Lesotho a natural wonder worth exploring by any traveler. We were surprised to learn that this country is one of the 3 remaining Kingdoms in Africa (the others being Morocco and Swaziland) even though it declared independence from the United Kingdom on 4 October 1966.
The name Lesotho stands for “mountain kingdom” and that’s not a surprise as nearly ⅔ of the country consists of mountains. This country is also the proud owner of the highest low point in the world which is estimated at 1,400 meters above sea level.
Enjoy the video!

Very marvelous Lesotho. Our continent is wonderful, huggs from Mozambique. Suthu as Changane are both bantu languages and have some similarities. I love Losotho is helping us fight the Islamic State in Cabo Delgado
Wow 👌 really 😳man, I hate Islamic those people don't want peace at all.
Africa is so much more beautiful than what they tell us .
Yes 🙌 much different than what is sometimes portrayed in the media. It’s so beautiful!
Yes it is. Sometimes it is cost prohibitive to experience it for the locals! Nice videos! The narration is awesome! Thank you so much 😊 ☺️
Great video! I have been all this place. Lesotho, Swaziland, South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi I use to Live in Botswana now Im at U.K
Fantastic! Do you miss it?
Lesotho is with you forever.
Watching from Kenya, East Africa! Thank you for sharing this amazing tour of Lesotho! The mixture of natural and manmade sceneries is just breathtaking! Keep it up!
Thanks so much! Comments like this are what keep us going. 🙏🏻❤️
We homeschool and are learning about Lesotho 🇱🇸 so we enjoyed seeing your video! It makes us want to go there someday!!❤
Girls, you will not appreciate this now as much as in the future. I saw your trip in Swaziland and plan to see more of your trip. But my message to you is how very LUCKY you are to have had this adventure. Bless your mom (parents) for letting you see a part of the world few kids from our "western " world get to see. You may have missed the latest movies (Don't worry, you can stream them later), or some friend's birthday party (you didn't miss too much), but what you have seen, done, and learned will stay with you forever and make you richer and more interesting. I am certain at least one of you will return to Africa someday and I hope you do. We appreciate OUR lives even more when we see how others live but we also learn more about the world and its people when we meet it/them face to face. I hope years from now you can look back on this experience with renewed gratitude and fond memories.
And to your mom...Thank you for enriching their lives and taking them to developing places and expansive landscapes instead of the usual westerner's vacations (Europe, Vacation spas) where they meet the same kind of people and don't stretch beyond the familiar. They will thank you for this someday.
1 Like the prophets of the Bible, in April 1993, I, Kacou Philippe, a man who had never been in a church, I receive in a vision, the visitation of an Angel who commissions me for a Message destined to the whole earth in fulfillment of Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14. This is the account of my conversion, as well as the three great visions of the call and commission as I received them:
2 I came to conversion on April 24, 1993 according to Daniel 10:4 to 11 by a vision in which I saw myself standing on the sand of the sea and then on top of a high pyramid and then again on the sand of the sea in another place and I saw an old military truck coming out of the depths of the sea and leave behind me. I turned and I saw that it contained living people. They were women and one of them was mixed-race.
3 Then two doves came toward me and went back over the waters. And there was an eclipse, then a man having the appearance of a Cloud and holding a sword came down from Heaven with a Lamb and the earth was illuminated again. They stood on the waters and the Lamb began to speak to me in an unknown tongue. The sound of his voice came into me and I fell dead. My soul went to stand on the waters with them while my body was lying on the sand of the sea. When He had finished speaking to me, my soul came into me and I became alive again but I no longer saw Them.
4 Then a crowd of people came toward me from the right side and I asked them if they had seen the Angel and the Lamb. They said, "No!" And I said: “But, how did you not see the Angel and the Lamb and all the things They have done?” They replied, "We have not seen the Angel and the Lamb and we have not heard the Words the Lamb pronounced, but we entirely believe It because what God gave and that the devil took, has now been restituted to you ". I looked up and I saw a ladder set up between the sky and the earth, above the waters and angels ascended and descended. And the vision ended and I felt what I know today to be the Holy Spirit and I wept and I believed in God on the spot. [Kc.64v3] [Kc.130v9]
5 The following day at around 3 p.m. while I was sitting with my family, I was transported again in vision into a totally desert country and I saw eastward Words that were coming down from Heaven carried on Clouds. It was after these two visions that I got up and went to church for the very first time. [Kc.137v37]
6 In a third vision, we were sitting in an examination room for the Advanced level test and the examiner was distributing the test-papers. I said to myself, "But what am I doing here? I do not have a good school level and what am I going to write?” And later, It was said to me: "The same way that Mary conceived miraculously, without knowing any man, the same way that Moses received in details what happened at the creation, you too, you have received the Words of eternal Life on this April 24, 1993 and it is decreed by God. At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life". [Kc.9v34] [Kc.30v1-3]
Thank you for promoting my country. Hope you enjoyed your stay.
Thank you for another interesting heartwarming post! My mother (1923) and three younger sisters (1952, 53 & 56) were born in Maseru. The countryside brought back found memories. In our time there it was a British Protectorate and the town infrastructure very English!
beautiful Kingdom in the sky, I love my homeland..thanks for sharing
This video is amazing. Lesotho is my home country so obviously I’ve been to Maliba and find it amazing. Great captions
As always. Lesotho for life
Nice video brother. i like to invest in this country and looking for any gentleman from here please contact me thank you(Mr.MRB(MALAYSIA) - WHATSAPP +6163902985 super life life is super
@@MRB00777 have you managed sir to get hold of any1 to assist you in your explore Lesotho. Hassanafrah713@gmail.com or on Facebook Afrah sheikh abdi
Awesome, my birthplace & where I grew up. Those are #Basotho ponies which are very sure footed & only found in Lesotho. This has made me so homesick, lovely video
I am definitely heading to the mountainous Kingdom Of Lesotho this festive season for a good chill.......!!!!
Have fun!!!
What a nice view , a beautiful country. Been to South Africa and i want to come back and visit Africa again
Lesotho is stunning! We had such a nice time in Southern Africa and met some really amazing people along the way too!
Thank you for this (and all your other videos) I Grew up in S. Lesotho, Dad was a traveling African Dr. As a young boy I used to go with him to his various clinics (different place every day) and almost took the beauty for granted. It's kinda like Africa's Tibet. 23 years in SA/Lesotho/Transkei, 28 Years in Canada (Ont, AB, BC) 14 years in Panama, and counting - homeschooled our 2 sons, many adventures - not nearly as many as your family, but driving down from BC to our new home (Panama) was indeed quite the adventure, we need to tell that story one day. Borders ... oh my, we can relate to your African border crossing adventures! That was almost every border from Canada to Panama! Every night Jen and I (64 and 63) watch your family travel before bedtime, and we'll have to start re-watching episodes when we run out (that will be a while) Jen (15) and I (16) met along the Garden Route (Wilderness) and we felt an immediate bond as "long lost soul mates", we figured, and well, we're still together and in love almost 50 years and many adventures later, just not so young anymore. God bless and stay safe! Keep these travel videos coming! We'll be sad when you folks settle down - but between you folks, and us, We'll let you in on a secret, that doesn't really ever happen. PS. We'd give Zanzibar a skip, seems like Lake Malawi's a much nicer choice, at least for us.

I'm blown away by Lesotho. Never knew the country is so beautiful and breathtaking. That lodge is amazing, the mountains, cliffs and vegetation just ... I'll admit can't believe that's somewhere in Africa. Without knowing, I swear you guys are somewhere in Europe or central Asia.. I know now it snows there as well.
Wow ! Just incredible.
Thanks for the video !
Oh and just to answer your question.. I've seen someone ride a zebra : Sheena the Queen of the jungle 😁😁😁 (1984 movie)
Yes, this is a really unique place. We had no idea either and when we arrived we were blown away. Someone riding a zebra 🤣🤣

The lodge accommodation is absolutely stunning and Dave and Barbara are still so cool! Your girls have learnt everthing from horseback riding to surfing - what an education !
Again, following your journey across Africa, I have yet to see Lesotho! I have been with you all over and really enjoy your videos. Those girls will have stories to tell for ever! I know, I do.
Used this for homeschooling. We didn’t know anything about Losotho but had learned it’s location. We are from Gallatin, Tn beside Nashville.
Wow absolutely stunning!on my bucket list😍😍😍
i was about a month ago..i must say you had yourselves a great time, thanks for coming

Omg, your adopted grandparents are the cutest! Looks beautiful and I'm enjoying following your adventures!
I know right? We were so happy to meet and spend time with such an amazing couple. We’re planning to meet up again this summer in Europe!!!
very beautiful countryside. Thank you! My parents had a wall hanging I never asked about, a handwoven tapestry from the Kingdom of Lesotho, which I had never heard of. I wish I would've asked them about it. Now it is mine, so I appreciate knowing a little about it.
That's amazing! It's a really unique country up in the mountains.
Beautiful Country, viewing from Detroit, Michigan.
Yes!! It’s beautiful!
The mountains and horse back riding were amazing! Loved it! :)
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. We loved the horse back riding!!!
I was born in Lesotho, and fortunate to grow up without borders. Sad to think I now live in a country with the some of the strictest border controls in the world. Much love to the world from australia
Thanks for dropping us a line! I think during Covid it’s a good thing though. Australia seems to be one of the safer countries to be in during the pandemic.
Excelente video, muy hermoso lugar, el bosque la montaña, todo muy bello!
Beautiful country side.
Yes!! 🤩
Lovely tour of a little spoken about country. Thank you, really enjoyed it! From Arizona, USA.

@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders LESOTHO FOR LIFE
Yey ✌️ very nice video
I have to say when Chloe was siting on that mans lap in the car, and asked Chloe "Where in the world are we now" and Chloe said "I don't Know" that was so cute, Anyway, that reminded me when i was siting in a crowded bus in Berlin, this little girl, standing next to me and steering at me, i ask her grandmother siting next to me, if the little girl wants to sit on her lap, she said no, anyway i get off in a couple stops.anyway i notice they drive on the left side of the road like the English , and thats scary very scary!
Lesotho ahhhh
Hi. Great video. I am from Lesotho but never saw any zebras. I am positive you were referring to a Mule. It's a cross breed between a donkey and horse. They are very strong and used to carry heavy bags up the mountain before the road was tarred. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Khotso
Oh that’s probably it.
Amazing.
Am watching from SA ,Qwaqwa, phuthaditjaba....we share the mountains ⛰ and the same heritage as basotho in SA
Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Watching from Dallas, TX in the US.
Cool! I hope you enjoyed it! I was just going through the Lesotho clips yesterday too. :)
Wow, thanks for sharing.., great video editing (this is the first I’ve come across) & can’t wait to take my kids there one day! I loved visiting Zambia & Tanzania years ago..such a beautiful continent.

Is it safe for Tourists?
@@Saudicitizen yes. Some of the nicest people you will ever meet
Love watching you & your family adventuring all over 😁😉
You should watch the movie "Racing Stripes" its about a Zebra & a young girl.
I am very impressed with those nice people around, not so much in America,except today when i went to the VA dentist, everything is spread out, i was told to park my car in certain place they come and get me, i knew that make a call, but i park my car someone around to pick me up took me to dentist, told me to call come get when finish, i was finish, i want to do that, when finish, was conned to be taken by wheel chair to my car, was thrill, wanted to sell her my car when i leave for Switzerland
I really appreciate for this video
So glad you enjoyed it!
In the description it says that Lesotho stands for "mountain kingdom" but I'd like to ask, did native Basotho tell you this? I was pretty confident it translates to "land of (those who) speak Sotho".
Brandon Frazier that’s just another nickname for it, we sometimes call it the mountain kingdom, kingdom of the sky, the Switzerland of Africa or even the roof of Africa.
Brandon Frazier yeah Lesotho means land of the Sotho
Not nesesarily translate to bt its called the mountain kingdom because of its mountainouse scenery
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🙌🙏💕
I am work in lesotho qachas nek
Am loving this channel I subscribed after watching only one video. Did u book your accomodations in advance or u did it as u travelled?
Nice blog ever..
Thanks!!! 💕
you guys are in Botha Bothe Lesotho
👍👍
Where in botha bothe? My grandma was married in Lesotho and she is buried there,
Beautiful country
That's dope! Does someone know the name of the song opening the video?
Thanks! I'll have to find the name of it for you...
very nice video
amazing!!!
It's so beautiful!
Hello two weeks ago you were in Switzerland,how did you get their so fast? I watch video again and took a better look and notice how fertile the land, every thing is very green and looks very healthy environment and very interesting, that couple live there all year round?
Which is the right way to pronounce “Lesotho”? I was pronouncing it like Leh-saw-taw and I am hearing you say Leh-soo-too
What time of th season or month you were there?
It was between January and February.
Thanks for the video! Very Nice!!!! Can you tell me how I can get from Johannesburg to Lesotho?
Best would be to rent a car like we did. That’s the easiest and a really nice drive. If you’re going one way though I’m not quite sure.
It is so nice, but unfortunately most of the trees have been chopped down and while it's a green land, it is so barren.
Muito bom. Porém não tem legenda em espanhol ou português do Brasil
Are you from Brazil? Lesotho it is as it is
Am watching from Yemen but originally from Somalia with a Lesotho nationality.
Amazing! I'm glad you found our video. I hope you get to enjoy many more of them from our travels. All the best to you in Yemen!
Thanks a lot 😎😍. When y'all planning to come to Yemen?
Hopefully later this year, if not in 2022.
Just wanted to know, do you guys work with Tabeer TV? Cz I see your clips on their video🤔 #wondering

I wonder how it's called?

Growing up without borders? Tell me what passport did you use to travel?
We’re a Swiss/Canadian family.
You can't ride a zebra . They are beautiful but dangerous and very lethal . Watching from South Africa Johannesburg.
I guess they are wild animals and we’ve never heard of a person riding a zebra. 😂😂Thanks for sharing! I hope all is well over in Joburg.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders It is well thank you .
Some people tried to make them pets , they said Zebras are crazy(mentally deranged)😂. It seems like it is easy to pet , tigers , lions and cheetahs than this beautiful animal.
Thank you.
