Internet
There is WiFi available which makes use of the Vodacom Lesotho mobile tower which provides 3G. The first 50MB are for free and thereafter, WIFI vouchers are available at the Bar for R50 for 500MB. The internet can be very slow in the evenings and if there are strong winds and multiple cloudy days which can affect the signal.
We suggest you bring a 3G toggle/modem and purchase a Vodacom Lesotho sim at any Vodacom Lesotho store or at the border posts where you need to register the sim using your passport as an ID before you get to Malealea . Purchase some prepaid airtime and transfer to data. This is your best bet if you want to work whilst in Lesotho.
