Countries that border Lesotho
One land neighbour: South Africa. It has a page of its own.
One way in
One land border, and it is South Africa.
Its 1 land border is joint 9th-most in Africa — level with the Gambia. South Africa is the most connected of them, with 6 land borders of its own. Everything else about Lesotho is coast, which makes it one of the easier shapes on the Africa board and one of the harder capitals to place — Maseru has no second neighbour to triangulate from.
