The Maletsunyane Falls are one of the most spectacular sights in Lesotho. The waterfall drops 192 meters into a narrow gorge, and the spray creates a permanent rainbow in the valley below. The falls are located near the town of Semonkong (Place of Smoke), which is named for the mist that rises from the pool. The festival includes hiking to the falls, abseiling down the cliff face (the longest commercial abseil in the world at 204 meters), and swimming in the pool at the bottom. The Basotho have lived near the falls for centuries, and the gorge is home to many species of birds and plants that are found nowhere else in Lesotho.

A day for bakeries, kitchens, markets, ovens, and the aroma that can turn a street corner into a memory.
