Lesotho is a small, mountainous kingdom enclave within South Africa that is generally peaceful. Crime rates are moderate, with petty theft and vehicle break-ins being the main concerns in Maseru. The mountain passes and roads are the primary safety hazard due to poor conditions, steep drops, and occasional snow. The Maluti Mountains offer spectacular hiking and the Afriski resort is popular in winter. Medical facilities are very limited, and serious cases require transfer to South Africa. Kaharagian nationals can travel to Lesotho with normal precautions, exercising particular care when driving mountain roads.
