Morija, Lesotho

Displayed:   times.

Morija, a pretty town and an important educational centre, is located deep in the Caledon valley. The town is the site of the earliest mission in Lesotho, founded in 1833. This town is the site of the National Museum, Although small, it is well laid out with some very interesting exhibits covering history, ethnography, palaeontology and the future of Lesotho. The museum provides a clear insight into the Kingdom’s history from Moshoeshoe I. There are also some priceless prehistoric finds and fossils.

Other things of interest in Morija are the oldest house in the country, a church built in the 1850's and the oldest printing works in the country, more than a hundred years old. Pony trekking is also available. More info on: members.fortunecity.com
