Lesotho (i/lᵻˈsuːtuː/; li-SOO-too), officially the Kingdom of Lesotho (Sotho: 'Muso oa Lesotho), is an enclaved, landlocked country in southern Africa completely surrounded by South Africa. It is just over 30,000 km2 (11,583 sq mi) in size and has a population slightly over two million. Its capital and largest city is Maseru. Lesotho is a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The name Lesotho translates roughly into the land of the people who speak Sesotho. About 40% of the population lives below the international poverty line of US $1.25 a day.
The present Lesotho, then called Basutoland, emerged as a single polity under King Moshoeshoe I in 1822. Moshoeshoe, a son of Mokhachane, a minor chief of the Bakoteli lineage, formed his own clan and became a chief around 1804. Between 1821 and 1823, he and his followers settled at the Butha-Buthe Mountain, joining with former adversaries in resistance against the Lifaqane associated with the reign of Shaka Zulu from 1818 to 1828.

Red Bull is an energy drink sold by Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987. In terms of market share, Red Bull is the highest-selling energy drink in the world, with 5.387 billion cans sold in 2013.
Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz was inspired by an existing energy drink named Krating Daeng, which was first invented and sold in Thailand. He took this idea, modified the ingredients to suit the tastes of Westerners, and, in partnership with Chaleo Yoovidhya, founded Red Bull GmbH in 1987 in Chakkapong, Thailand. In Thai, daeng means red, and krating is the large bovine called "gaur". Red Bull is sold in a tall and slim blue-silver can, while Krating Daeng is in a gold shorter can. The two are different products, produced separately.
The Red Bull company slogan is "Red Bull gives you wings", and the product is marketed through advertising, events (Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, Red Bull Air Race, Red Bull Crashed Ice), sports team ownerships (RB Leipzig, FC Red Bull Salzburg, Red Bull Brasil, New York Red Bulls, Red Bull Racing, Scuderia Toro Rosso), celebrity endorsements, and music, through its record label Red Bull Records.

History of the Kingdom of Lesotho CCTV News.
"The Forgotten Kingdom," which started out as a private video diary, chronicles a 19 year old Prince Harry's eight-week visit to Lesotho in February and March 2004. This TV documentary helped raise approximately $2 million for the British Red Cross Lesotho Fund. Made by Britain's ITN and narrated by Tom Bradby, with some footage taken by His Royal Highness himself.
South Africa wraps itself around the small but mountainous country of Lesotho - known as The Kingdom In The Sky, as its lowest point is still 1000m above sea level. In recent years the mountains have begun to provide income for the nation by means of a huge hydroelectric dam scheme, the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, which is harnessing the benefits that high rainfall can yield. The dams so far constructed have seen a growing road network introduced to more and more of the nation meaning that the face of Lesotho is changing forever. The film follows a group of South African friends making their way through some of the most remote parts of the country, on roads that are supposed to exist but don't and others that aren't supposed to and do, trying to see this spectacular country befo...

This is Part 1 of our two part series as we explore the Lesotho mountain kingdom in search of trophy brown trout. The mountains of Lesotho truly is an amazing place to fish. We caught a great number of fish but the sheer size of the fish we were catching was unbelievable. Normally we are used to catching river trout of between 6 and 12 inches, so needless to say suddenly catching 21 inch + trout was a big surprise. The mountains of Lesotho will definitely soon see us again... Music: James Bay Let It Go Bearson Remix Olmos - Hold Me Two Colors - Follow You (ft.

http://davidsbeenhere.com/ David’s Been Here travels through Lesotho to explore what many call “the Kingdom in the Sky.” Lesotho is the only country in the world to be entirely above 1,000 meters above sea level. David’s favorite hotel in Lesotho was the Maliba Mountain Lodge in Tsehlanyane National Park, which he profiles in this video. The lodge graciously hosted David in a luxurious chalet with double beds, beautiful vistas, wood burning fireplace, and handcrafted furniture. The Maliba Lodge has 6 mountainside chalets for couples and 4 river chalets that can accommodate up to 8 people. People come to Lesotho to enjoy the natural landscapes and local culture. Maliba Lodge took David horseback riding, on a village tour, and gave him a much-needed back massage at the hotel spa. Some of...
Lesotho’s mountainous terrain has made it hard for residents to travel between communities, and access goods and services quickly and safely. In the South East of the country, nearly 2000 meters above sea level, a road project in an area called Qacha’s Neck, has brought communities together, made river crossings simple, and opened the door for tourism to a once inaccessible place.
I'm on Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/brendanvanson Lesotho is crazy spectacular. It's just one of those countries that suits me. It's full of incredible mountains, and lots of rugged landscape. There's this wild freedom to the country that just grabbed me right away. But, Lesotho is also a challenge; especially as a photographer. There are so many amazing things to see and photograph in the country, but it's a bit of a challenge finding ways to properly photograph them. There's very little tourism infrastructure, and even the roads don't really have places that you can safely pull over to make photos. Still, there is this energy to Lesotho that I really love. It has me back to feeling really good about travel. It has my spirits back up, and has me excited to explore. Leso...
