6. THE LIPHOFUNG CAVES
The Liphofung “place of the eland” cave occupies an
important place in Lesotho history. This is the smallest of
the LHDA reserves at about 4 hectares. The cave is, in
fact, a large sandstone overhang, which is a typical
feature of the Lesotho lowlands region.
Originally used by the San and other Stone Age people,
the walls contain important rock art and a rich
archaeological deposit of Stone Age implements. Later,
King Moshoeshoe “the Great” used the cave as a
stopover when visiting that part of the kingdom.
This particular site lies in a tributary stream valley of the
Hololo River just off the main route from Butha-Buthe to
Oxbow and Mokhotlong. Access is by means of a newly
constructed concrete road and is passable for all
vehicles.
