  • Lesotho ↗Taking a South African rental car into Lesotho needs a cross-border letter from the rental company; Sani Pass needs a 4x4.
  • Lesotho ↗Border posts have fixed opening hours; smaller posts close earlier than the main Maseru bridge.
  • Maseru and the Lowlands ↗Check the opening hours of the border post you plan to use; smaller posts close earlier than Maseru Bridge.
