I just watched a documentary on the National Geography channel on Lesotho's national park. I learned some fascinating details whilst watching; Lesotho is actually a separate kingdom entirely surrounded by South Africa and had gained its independence in the 60's from Great Britain.
The guy who was doing the documentary had to drive 20 miles up the steepest and most bumpiest roads starting from South Africa's border with Lesotho to the heart of Lesotho. On the way he faced a breakdown of the car and had to change two of the wheels twice all whilst driving through hot sunshine that drastically changed for misty frostbite. But when he got to the top and walked through the national park, the view was simply breathtaking. The mountains and landscape were so vast and picturesque. It must be one of the very few naturally preserved parks in the world that highlights the African beauty.
