- If self-catering, stock up on supplies in Hlotse, as options within the park are limited.
- Inform the rangers at the park entrance about your hiking plans.
Getting There

Driving
Most visitors drive to Tsehlanyane National Park from Maseru or the Caledonspoort border post. From Maseru, take the A1 road northeast towards Butha-Buthe. Approximately 5 km southwest of Butha-Buthe, turn right onto the signposted access road. This good quality, tarred road continues for 32 km, passing through villages and paralleling the Hlotse River. The park entrance is at the end of this road. Park entrance fees are 50 LSL per person and 30 LSL per car. Note that the currency of Lesotho is Loti (LSL), and it has the same value as South African Rand (ZAR). There are parking facilities near the ranger's office at the entrance.

Public Transport
For adventurous travelers, public transport is an option. First, take a shared taxi from Maseru to Butha-Buthe. From Butha-Buthe, shared taxis travel to villages en route to the park. Ask the driver to drop you off at the park gates or Maliba Lodge. Confirm transport options for your departure with Maliba Lodge. Public transport costs from Maseru to Butha-Buthe are approximately 60-80 LSL. Expect significant delays and a degree of uncertainty with this option.
