Currently visiting SA with my girlfriend, we absolutely wanted to hike in Drakensberg and we will have 3 to 4 full days there. We will arrive from Durban and I'm currently wondering what to do and where to go: we don't have a car able to climb the Sani pass, and we would have liked maybe to go to Lesotho for a bit.
I'm wondering if it's would be doable to hike a bit on the SA side and then go around to enter Lesotho from Maseru before going to hike again on Lesotho's side? Does that even make sense? Or would you recommend to stay on SA's side?
Thanks a lot! You can hike into Lesotho from SA, via the Drakensberg escarpment, but I would recommend staying close to the border. Many places to hike in the drakensberg Giants Castle, Tugella falls, Mweni.
I do not know about hiking within Lesotho, maybe other people can comment about it. This would give you a combined experience of the Southern Berg and Lesotho. Alternatively you can stay somewhere at the base of the pass and only go up the pass for a day visit provided you can work out the rides up and down the pass. You mentioned Sani Pass and Maseru in your original post, however to connect these two areas is not quick and easy and doesn't seem feasible with the days you have available.
If you really want to go deep into Lesotho you could consider places like Bokong which has good road access, accommodation, and hiking.
