Location: Lesotho

The splendour of lesotho is the Maluti Mountains

The Maloti Mountains (also spelled Maluti), are found in the highlands of Lesotho and named the Drakensberg in South Africa. They form a high alpine basalt plateau up to 3400m in height. The highest point is Thabana Ntlenyana 3482m in the north-east. Snow and frost may be found even in summer on the highest peaks.

The sources of two of the principal rivers in South Africa, the Orange River and the Tugela River, are in these mountains. Tributaries of the Caledon River, which forms the country's western border, also rise here.
