Culture of Lesotho
Most of the villages are located up in the mountains and very well structured around the river valleys. The houses of the villagers are called kraals and are divided into four separate structures.
Lesotho Health Care and Vaccinations
Comprehensive travel and medical insurance is recommended. Medical facilities in Lesotho are limited and there is no ambulance service. Treatments for some cases may require transfer to a South African hospital; good facilities are available in Blomfontein, 145km (90 miles) west of Maseru.
