Situated in the middle of Southern Africa, Lesotho is known as the Kingdom in the Sky because of its lofty altitude - it has the highest lowest point of any country in the world (1400m) and is the only country to be entirely above 1000m. Taking a short internal flight from Johannesburg to Maseru, Lesotho's capital, Toby drives to the starting point for his adventure - the Malealea Lodge.
This is Lesotho. A small mountainous Kingdom entirely surrounded by South Africa. I spent several years of my childhood here and when I returned as a young man, passionate about mountain biking, I re discovered paradise. Forget fences, forget limits, forget riding as you seen it before. A dream was born. An endurance mountain bike race for only the toughest of riders. 6 days, 500 km, 14 000 m of climbing. I wanted to see riders on paths taken only by herdboys and animals. I wanted to share with others the untamed beauty of this country, it's rugged landscapes and the warmth of its people. An experience which I'm not sure how to put into words. A place which people simply need to come and see for themselves. This is Lesotho Sky.

Thank you for watching! You can contribute to the making of this documentary by visiting igg.me A small African nation takes on Big Corruption - and wins. How Lesotho brought giants of the international construction industry to justice for bribery and corruption, on a multi-billion dollar construction project. As the Harvard Business Review reports, corruption costs Africa $148 billion per year. The World Bank estimates the global cost at about $1 trillion. How much is that? If you divide it by the number of people on earth the result is $146. And to someone who will never have a computer, how much is 1 dollar worth? According to the Economist, for example: Every dollar spent promoting breastfeeding in hospitals yields returns of between $5-67. And every dollar spent giving pregnant women extra iron generates between $6-14. Nothing else in development policy has such high returns on investment. Help tell the world how one country fought corruption, and how dollars can be saved for good investments. Small Place, Big Wave - the original Economist article is still on-line www.economist.com

The tiny kingdom of Lesotho is encircled by its larger neighbour, South Africa. Made up of mostly highlands, much of the kingdom's villages are so remote that they can only be reached on horseback, by foot or by light aircraft. Roads have been built by developers to reach Lesotho's mineral and water resources, but many of the country's canyons and thatched huts remain isolated. Read more: www.worldtravelguide.net
