The
glossy
brochures
available
from the
tourist
information
have
useful
phone
numbers,
but are
otherwise
thin on
facts.
You
should
turn
instead
to Marco
Turco's
now
quite
dated
Visitor's
Guide to
Lesotho
(Southern,
1994),
or the
small
Backpackers'
Guide to
Lesotho
, an up-to-date
booklet
self-published
by
Russell
Suchet,
who runs
the
Sani
Lodge
; some
South
African
backpacker
lodges
have
copies.
Some of
the
lodges
stock a
very
good
1:250,000
topographical
map of
Lesotho,
which
you can
also get
at the
Department
of Land,
Surveys
&
Physical
Planning,
the only
place
where
you can
get
detailed
maps
suitable
for
serious
hiking.
