About Festival

What started as a daring idea in the Semonkong highlands has evolved into Africa’s most elevated sensory experience.

Born from a passion for open-fire cooking and Lesotho’s untamed beauty, the Maletsunyane Braai Fest isn't just an event—it’s a pilgrimage. Every November, we gather where the air is thinner and the flavors are bolder, creating a regional phenomenon that attracts thousands to the edge of the world’s longest single-drop abseil.
