Lesotho Photographic Safaris

What is most underappreciated in this landlocked country, is the incredibly rich cultural aspect of the Basotho people.

It’s hard to fathom how remote some aspects of the culture live. Trekking to meet the shepherds in the mountains you will meet young men tied deeply to the land tending their flocks. The shepherds live as authentic a life on the land as you will ever meet. Their hats and blankets make them stand out against the landscape, adding striking drama to how they stand out against the landscape.

Indeed, the Basotho hat is a famous emblem of identity. With time and creative input, it has evolved into a blend of function and form that adds a great deal of interest to a cultural visit. On a visit to Lesotho, you will encounter world-class landscapes and as rich a cultural experience as you will find on any part of the continent.

C4 Photo Safaris hosts cultural photo workshops to Lesotho each year. In addition, it helps plan and host private visits, where a truly immersive photo experience can take place.
