Safety & Security

Safety & Security are important things to know before traveling to Lesotho if you want to traveling to this country. It has a very high crime rate. Foreigners are robbed the majority of the time, and the majority of car-jacking cases are discovered here; some foreigners are even killed. Assumed that crime exists everywhere in the world and can occur anywhere, but there are some risks in this location. Criminals have been discovered in restaurants, on the road, and in other locations. Traveling alone at night is dangerous, so it is not safe to travel alone. Traveling in a group is safe.

Foreign nationals are frequently targeted by muggers in central Maseru. Don’t walk alone in isolated areas, or after dark and avoid driving in rural areas at night and pick up strangers. You should keep doors locked, windows closed, and valuables out of sight when driving in urban areas, particularly Maseru. Besides, take caution when approaching major border crossings, especially at night. There have been reports of armed carjackers. If possible, you can store them in hotel safes. Keep duplicates of important documents, such as passports, in a safe place. In the run-up to the holiday season in Lesotho, there is often an increase in criminal activity, particularly property crime. Take extra precautions and remain vigilant during this time.
