Botsoela Falls - from the air - Lesotho 2024
Переглядів 234Місяць тому
The twin falls of Botsoela are actually two separate streams that feed into the same bowl. The falls are not far from Malealea in Lesotho's south eastern quartile. A 4WD vehicle is required to complete the pass. The northern climb out the valley is quite tricky and requires some offroad experience. (Grade 3) Filmed on the 19th April, 2024.

Lekhalo La Molimo Nthuse (God Help Me Pass) - Mountain Passes of Lesotho
This pass rivals the likes Trollstigen, Stevio Pass, Transfagarasan Pass ...who who have known that this is absolutely beautiful
Beautiful.
One shouldn't worry about the "dangerous" passes. Just drive on the horizontal surfaces. I grew up nearby. Roads are safe; it's users that pose danger sometimes. 😊
Never really thought of that as a pass.
Always such an adventure!
So beautiful 😍
Very popular road for cyclists from both sides
great.
Thank you for part 1 & part 2. For an ex-Capetonian, it's lovely to be able to see this beautiful part of CT again.
Stunning!
Yes indeed, a cyclist dream ride.
We traveled this route recently and it is still doable even though it is way more run down on the Eastern Province side.
This is one of our country's most scenic and well-visited coastal routes. Love the narration, Robby. Very insightful as well. 🎖🤩
Many thanks!
Best drive in the world did it many timea
Fancourt in George?!correction
Dont confuse Facourt Golf Course with the the Fancourt Manor in Wilderness.
@@TrygveRoberts didnt know thanks.
Always amazing!!
New vids! Great ❤
Thanks for the videos
Glad you like them!
The music is bad. I can't both listen to the content and turn off the volume. Please stop the bad music.
That's interesting. We set the voice-over volume loud enough to be clearly heard above the background music. We select background music that is mostly gentle and easy on the ear (of course we can't please everybody all of the time). The corollary of the theory is to have no music at all. Do you think that would be better? It would save me a LOT of man hours.
Beautiful, thank you.
Very nice!
I've watched all 3 parts, what an incredible, beautiful journey - thank you for sharing. What I found most amazing is that this road must have been built/developed almost a century, perhaps more, ago, and it still exists and can be used. A remarkable feat of engineering, especially being done so long ago. Imagine the manual effort that must have gone into this, most likely in a time of picks and shovels!

Stunning 🥰
Its a beautiful place to visit yoo 🙌🙌🙌
Can this Pass be driven in a standard Hi-rider Isuzu 4x2 bakkie?
Is this up- or downstream of the new Polihale dam site?
Beautiful. It is a pity that photos are not allowed inside the dam wall. It was quite interesting when I did the tour.
.
thank you for this!!!
Fantastic. Thank you.
Beautiful. Magnificent.
MAGNIFICENT!
Brings back memories in what feels like another lifetime on another continent. Was in an army convoy going to Lohatla Battle school, did that twice via this route, spectacular views. When we went through Vanrhynsdorp, which was a very small town in 1983, literally the whole towns population came out to look at this military convoy winding it's way through. I guess they'd never seen equipment like that.
scary
Thousands of infantry soldiers walked this route carrying heavy poles during Vasbyt.
So many beautiful places to visit in SA. I'm watching all the videos in this channel as inspiration for my upcoming MC trip

what time of year would be best suited for this trip? green velds and not toooo much rain....want to do with adventurebike
A 160 degrees curve it's very sharp curve and the signs are there, clearly the Bus driver wasn't familiar of the road and didn't pay attention to the sign and was speeding. Some speculate breaks failure but to travel the distance they were travelling regular maintenance and thorough inspections of braking systems are essential to prevent such incidents. R.I.P to the pilgrims🕊🕊.😢 😭🕊🕊
The bus Driver from Botswana was not familiar with the curve but speeding. May their souls rest in peace 😢😢
I never knew that there is another Makgobaskloof mountain road on the other side of Mokopane...😢 Until this tragedy 😭... This road is scary
I think the bus driver carrying pilgrimage to Moria was speeding this can be a dangerous curve if you a speeding on a heavy vehicle
I think the breaks failed, he struggled to control the bus in that curved bridge.
Is this the same mountain pass where a bus transporting 45 Botswana pilgrims, drove off a bridge ? And plunged into a ravine, 50 m deep. An 8-year-old child was the only survivor from the bus accident.
Yes thsts the one
Look for sudderland
