Tips for Moving and Visiting

Maseru is very peaceful. We don’t have water or electricity problems. Power cuts are a rare occurrence. It’s quite small with limited things to do, but I have no doubt you’ll love it.
Things you will need to know when you visit Maseru:
There are few medical facilities and ambulance facilities. There are many beautiful sites to visit such as a waterfall with a height of 192-meter called Maletsunyane Fall. Rock art is one of the most known things in describing the Basotho culture and history by paintings and drawings.
The life is generally cheap with some services scarce. Traffic is chaotic, with less-than-ideal infrastructure. People are good and friendly.
Maseru is in a developing country and there is not much infrastructure. It is on a mountain because we have a mountainous country. It is very cold in winter with lots of snow and very hot in summer with lots of rain. It is such a peaceful place to be as our founder loved peace.
Maseru, although quite small, is the biggest city in Lesotho. Maseru is warm and mountainous. It offers most basic needs like job opportunities, shopping malls, schools, and churches. It consists of both urban and regional residents. Maseru lies just near the Caledon River which separates Lesotho and South Africa.
Maseru is the capital city of Lesotho. It is a home to the Royal family with quite a number of sites to visit. One of the tourist attractions is Thaba Bosiu, which is where there founder of the Basotho nation fled with his people in the 1800s from Shaka Zulu. Maseru is home to a diverse group of people from all parts of the country.
Maseru is a very small city. There isn’t much to explore. There is only one street connecting everything to everyone. The weather is unsteady, changing three times a day at times. Otherwise, it’s a very peaceful place. Everyone knows everyone and that makes it an easy city to go around.
