Orion Mohale Lodge

Orion Mohale Lodge Maseru, Lesotho/There are more ways of getting to Heaven than you can imagine, riding to Mohale dam is just one of them. If you have the right bike, the right bunch of friends then this ride is what you need to do. There must be a list you have made, somewhere in your house/office/garage, of rides you “must do”. If this ride is not on your list, now is the time to add and then to tick it off, heck you can even score it out of 10 if you want. This ride too compares well with the Katse Dam ride, also not made for the learners, if you try any of the rides into Lesotho; you have to have a few thousand kilometres under your butt and the ability to take the bends without holding all and sundry up as you creep your way to Mohale. This road is to be enjoyed, don’t try do it too fast, the road and the bends will win. Remember, they have been there much longer than most of you have been riding bikes. This is a 4th gear ride, but don’t be fooled, there are some seriously sharp hairpins to be negotiated. One could name the three tar rides in Lesotho – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Mohale – The Good, Katse – The Bad, Oxbow – The Ugly. If you are new to the twisties, I would recommend that this be your first.The border post at Maseru Bridge is an easy entrance into Lesotho, if you can read and write and have a passport, you can get in quite easily. Have R30 ready to pay as a toll fee and in you go. On the side of Lesotho you will be greeted by a bunch of street urchins. They mean no harm, ignore them and don’t offer them anything or you will have bunch around you. No need to be nasty to them, just ignore them.Hotel
