This remote, high-altitude region is a dream for landscape photographers, filled with towering basalt cliffs, vast plateaus, and ever-changing light. We faced rain every day, but the weather rhythm gave us something magical: clearing skies at sunrise, bathing the escarpment in golden light each morning. From wild cliffside camps to dramatic skies, this was one of the most awe-inspiring trips ever. Along the way, we met Basotho shepherds, wrapped in traditional blankets, quietly moving through the highlands with their livestock. Their quiet resilience brought a powerful human element to the landscape's rugged beauty. This was more than just a hike—it was a true photographic expedition: challenging, rewarding, and absolutely unforgettable. Come along as we chase light, battle storms, and capture the raw beauty of one of Africa’s most spectacular wildernesses.
