  • And the nature in the Kingdom in the Sky is magnificent!
  • In the countryside, people dress in beautiful, traditional Basotho blankets while riding their horses.
  • You see herds of sheep grazing all over the countryside.
  • The traditional style of house in Lesotho is called a mokhoro, and many families in the countryside depend on raising livestock to support themselves.
