The Malealea Valley offers it’s guests many beautiful walks to a nearly waterfall, Bushmen paintings and a stunning gorge. We decided to use this lockdown time to explore area’s we’ve never seen.
Two of the 3 walks, the family rated as 10 out of 10. As I mentioned previously, there isn't much wildlife left in Lesotho, so it was very exciting to spot a colony of dassies. Charlie (the young Bull Mastiff), went charging off chasing something we couldn't identify. Shortly after, about 30 Dassies came out of their hidey holes and scampered down the side of a rocky slope. It was naughty of Charlie to chase them, but thank goodness none of them were injured in the process.
The third hike, however, was FULL of blackjacks and steekgras, which ended up in a few moans and groans. The rating for that walk on the whole was a 4, although the swimming spots were really good. As much as I ADORE my Calli Bear, the season of blackjacks was something else - trying to pry burrs and blackjacks off her - the worst I've ever seen her was after that walk. Thank goodnesS BLACKJACK season is over.
