Lesotho

Lesotho is a small, landlocked country located entirely within South Africa, often called an enclave. It is known for its mountainous terrain, which makes it ideal for activities like hiking and farming. The country has a rich cultural heritage rooted in Basotho traditions and language. Its economy primarily relies on agriculture, livestock, and remittances from Basotho working abroad. Lesotho has a parliamentary democracy, with a constitutional monarchy. Despite its natural beauty, it faces challenges such as poverty and limited access to healthcare, but it continues to preserve its unique identity and history.
