Mafika Lisiu Pass - Lesotho
Mafika Lisiu Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 3.090m (10,137 ft) above the sea level, located in northern Lesotho. It’s one of the highest road passes of the country, affording excellent viewing of the unique alpine flora. The zone is prone to heavy mist and can be dangerous in low visibility conditions.
The road to the summit is asphalted. It was built in 1990’s and crosses the Maloti Range. There are sheer drops virtually along the entire route and enough hairpins to make a whirling dervish dizzy. A quick glance at the map at its sheer drops and serpentine twists and turns, confirms that this is no hype. The pass is located between Pitseng and Lejone and leads to the Katse Dam.
