Once again, this capital city, found in the mountains to north-east of Lesotho, bears the same name as the district it is the centre of. The name Mokhotlong means the "place of the bald Ibis" and it is the main town in the highlands of Lesotho, with access to South Africa being via the picturesque and dramatic Sani Pass. From Mokhotlong one is also able to reach the highest point in the Southern Africa at Thabana Ntlenyana, which means "Pretty Little Mountain" (3,482m). It is also from here that one gets to the Sehlabathebe National Park.
