Lunch Options on the Tour

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, we offer several lunch options during our tour. Please review each option below and select your preference when making your booking. Your choice is needed for us to make the necessary arrangements in advance.

Kindly note that The Highest Pub in Africa charges an entrance fee of R200 per adult and R100 per child under 12. This fee is not included in our tour price, as visits to the pub are subject to availability. Should your tour include a stop at the Highest Pub, the entrance fee will be payable on the day. This fee is however redeemable at the restaurant and bar and will be deducted from your bill.

OPTION 1: Lunch at The Highest Pub in Africa

Due to the lodges limited capacity, The Highest Pub in Africa are only able to welcome guests with prior reservations. Kindly note that the pub has a maximum capacity of 40 guests per day so although we do our best to secure reservations in advance, availability cannot always be guaranteed.

Price Range: R110-R275

OPTION 2: Lunch at a Local Basotho Restaurant

Pause your adventure at a local Basotho restaurant where you’ll get to watch everyday life unfold. Enjoy simple yet hearty meals from toasted sandwiches and burgers to traditional homemade stews paired with Lesotho’s beloved local beer. It’s the perfect way to refuel while soaking in the rhythm of mountain life.

Price Range: R75 – R150

OPTION 3: Bring Your Own Picnic Lunch

For those who prefer, you are welcome to bring your own snacks / packed lunches to enjoy amidst Lesotho’s wild landscapes. Our guides will help find the perfect scenic spot to stop and enjoy a bite to eat. This flexible option lets travellers maximise their time soaking up Lesotho and is great for anyone with special dietary needs.
