Ts'ehlanyane National Park is a wonderful and pristine national park located in one of the most remote areas of Lesotho, at an altitude of over 2,000 metres. It can be reached in less than three hours from the capital, Maseru.

We overnight at the Maliba Lodge, a splendid accommodation facility in the heart of the Park from which most of the paths start. There are different itineraries that can be followed, in this case we choose the path to the Holomo Waterfall, which starts near the chalets on the river. After having made an initial ford we continue with some ups and downs parallel to the fence that separates the accommodation area from the rest of the park. We then cross the river again and cross the Circular Route Trail for a short stretch. Following the directions we continue towards the waterfall, climbing up the side of a splendid and uncontaminated mountain. The slope gradually becomes steeper as we go up and only a few wild horses and the more shy Elands (a large antelope) keep us company. The climb continues until the place where the waterfall should be is visible in front of us, unfortunately almost completely dry at this time of year.
The return takes place along the same itinerary followed on the outward journey.
