Riding trails also depart from Leliehoek. Horses can be hired. From Ladybrand, a short, scenic drive leads to Maseru , the capital of the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, and home of the South Sotho people. This is a bird-watcher's paradise second to none, listed as a Wetlands of International Importance. Hiking trails through the marshlands lead to watchtowers from which endangered birds such as the blue crane, wattled crane and mahern can be seen.
Overnight accommodation is available.
Conducted game-viewing drives and hikes are available at Maria Moroka National Park which supports a number of antelope species, as well as zebra and 150 bird species, including the rare blue korhaan. But if you're more of a night owl than a birder, you should head for Thaba' Nchu's cabarets, casinos and discos. At the end of the Highlands Route, the pretty, town of Zastron lies in a prosperous agricultural district. Zastron has several historical monuments and fine examples of sandstone architecture. From the caravan park in Eeufeeskloof, roads lead to view sites high in the mountains.
