      Location notes
      Lesotho: Located in the Matatiele Municipality on the eastern escarpment of the Maloti-Drakensberg
      at the southernmost tip of the Maloti- Drakensberg Transfrontier Park on the international border with South Africa.
      Qacha’s Nek is the closest regional trading centre, situated approximately 100km southwest.
      Access details
      Sehlabathebe National Park can be accessed via the B46 from the north of Lesotho, or via the B45 from the west.
      The most suitable border crossing from South Africa is at Qacha’s Nek. Ramatseliso’s Gate border post is closer, but this road to the border post is only suitable for 4X4 vehicles.
      A trail from South Africa’s Bushman’s Nek border post links directly with Sehlabathebe National Park, but can only be traversed on foot or on horseback.
      There is a new but relatively rustic Entrance Gate; Unused border post buildings that have mostly fallen into disrepair;
      A 12 bed lodge with staff accommodation; 1.1m fence around the park, which has fallen largely in disrepair.
