Transport

Lesotho’s road network is constantly being expanded especially with the implementation of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project.  Most Lesotho based companies use their own trucks for internal transport.  In addition, road haulage firms provide related services.  Lesotho’s road system is linked at many points to the South African road network thus providing excellent access to the cities and ports of RSA. 

International air services are provided by the South African Air Link which operates regular flights schedules from and to Moshoeshoe I International Airport.

The flights to Johannesburg International Airport connect with international flights to various world wide destinations.

Lesotho borders with South Africa at Caledonspoort, Ficksburg and Maseru are open 24 hours a day.

There are no railways within Lesotho.  Maseru, the capital, is however, linked to the South African railway system for freight.  The Maputsoe Industrial Area (85 kms north of Maseru) is about two kilometres from the railhead at Ficksburg in the Republic of South Africa.

Most of Lesotho’s international exports go through the port of Durban by rail or road (600 km) from Maseru on excellent roads.  Durban has the most modern and efficient handling system of any port in Africa. A sample of shipping information is given below:
