Meals
Malealea Lodge Meals
Breakfast is served from 8:00 – 9:30 every morning and includes a variety of cereals, fruits, and breads, as well as fried eggs and bacon. Tea, coffee, and juice are also provided and served from 07:30am. (Please let the kitchen ladies know in advance if you would like an early breakfast or a packed breakfast).
In summer, dinner is served at 7:00 PM, after the band and choir have finished their sunset performance, and includes a variety of meat and vegetable dishes, as well as a small cake with custard at the end. In winter, dinner is a cozy affair at 6:30 in the evening, with a roaring fire in the hearth and plenty of hot soup to complement the standard menu. We braai at least two times a week, and always make sure that our large groups get more than enough steak to refuel after their days of trekking.
Internet
We’re excited to share that we are now on Starlink Wi-Fi 🚀✨ and can offer our guests free internet. ✨ Please note: this is still new and we’re testing it out. The signal may not work in all areas of the lodge – you may see the bars go up and down as you move around. Feel free to walk about and try it. There are some rooms where there is no internet signal.
If you want to have your own internet and are travelling through other parts of Lesotho, we highly recommend bringing your own dongle/modem and purchase an Econet SIM card. SIM cards are available at any Econet store or at the border post. You need to register the sim card using your passport. You can then buy prepaid airtime vouchers and convert it to data. R660 will buy you 20Gigs of data.
