A Landmark of the Lifaqane Era
The Motlejoeng Caves are a historic site located just 2 kilometers south of Mohale's Hoek. Famous as a landmark from the Lifaqane era of the 1820s, the caves were used as a shelter by the cannibal figure Motlejoa.
Today, they stand as a key part of the region's cultural heritage, surrounded by ancient San rock paintings and dinosaur footprints that reflect deep pre-colonial and paleontological history.
