Semonkong Lodge is unique in Lesotho for a number of reasons. Semonkong Lodge boasts the only world record in Lesotho. The Lodge waves the Guinness World Record flag for the longest commercially run abseil in the world! At 204m, or 670ft, in length and located next to the spectacular Maletsunyane Waterfall, prepare to get wet! The Maletsunyane River is an ideal swimming spot especially after a day in the mountains. The Semonkong Lodge Tavern also provides an unobtrusive vantage point to watch Basotho people go about their daily routine.
At the Semonkong Lodge fully licensed restaurant and bar, Thatcher's Tavern, you can enjoy a local beer or cup of hot coffee. The Tavern provides a perfect, non-intrusive vantage point from where you can view the Basotho people with their ponies and donkeys followed by shaggy sheep dogs, as they go about their daily routine. There is also a communal self-catering kitchen on site. Please advise of any special dietary requirements in advance.
Semonkong Lodge offers the unconventional activity abseiling, right next to the lodge. Semonkong Lodge operates the longest commercially operated single-drop abseil
in the world! Set on the edge of the spectacular Maletsunyane Falls, this abseil descends 204m non-stop to the bottom of the gorge.
Basotho ponies can be seen everywhere and make the best transport on which to explore the mountains and valleys of the Semonkong area and beyond. We can arrange trips on these sure-footed ponies which can reach many inaccessible places.
