The idea for this trip started a few weeks ago when @JonW mentioned that he wanted to do the traverse from Sehelabathebe to Sani on the eastern side of Lesotho.
Ride report here:https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=245243.0

That would only be a two day trip so we (@Twister and myself) thought let's make it a proper 5 day trip since that area of Lesotho is extremely remote and we don't get to explore there that often.
The trip started early the Friday morning, we trailered our bikes from Bloemfontein to Thaba Thaka where we would leave the bakkie and trailer until we return 5 days later.

The plan was as follows:
Day 1. Thaba Thaka to Thamathu lodge in Sehelabathebe (south of Lesotho)
Day 2. Explore the National park and then do an enduro route towards Ramatseliso and then meet up with @JonW and friends at Thamathu lodge.
Day 3. Ride the traverse from Sehelabathebe via Rhino peak to Sani top and then from there over the Thabana Ntlenyena mountain (at 3482m the highest mountain south of Kilimanjaro) and then from there to Mokhotlong.
Day 4. Explore the area between Mokhotlong and Letseng mine.
Day 5. Head back to Thaba Theka and try and do as much as possible sections inside the Senqu river.
