Afriski Mountain Resort in the Kingdom of Lesotho is an all year mountain adventure destination with a multitude of winter and summer activities. Situated in the northern part of the country, it is the only ski resort in Lesotho, offering a unique winter experience that is not usually found in Africa.
The mountain nation of the Basotho people and the inimitable rural African lifestyle, provides a special atmosphere, one that is both proud and warmly welcoming. Contrasting, complex Africa has many varied attractions but snow is not one associated with the world’s second largest continent. There won’t be snow in Africa, Bob Geldof wrote in 1984, but then he hadn’t been to Afriski, and the Lesotho highlands, where annually the fortunate few can experience and explore a winter playground from June until August.
Afriski was established in 2002 and the introduction of modern snow-making facilities and lifts has allowed skiing and snowboarding to flourish in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. The resort offers a scenic environment and a comfortable atmosphere that belies the adventure waiting to be explored.
You should arrive with a bucket list. You can dine in the sky – at 3 222 metres above sea level, the Sky Restaurant is the highest in Africa. You can ski the African snow. Our winter Ski Resort offers a wide variety of snowy activities to ensure that you enjoy the most fun you can have in the cold before relaxing and swapping war stories in the warmth of the Gondela Cafe.Summer at Afriski can be enjoyed by the most energetic, those seeking action, exhilaration and adventure, and those firmly bent on rest and relaxation.We want you to leave Afriski with warm, indelible memories of your stay…and making plans for a swift return to our place in the sky.
