9. LIPHOFUNG CAVE AND CULTURAL
SITE
The Liphofung ‘place of eland’ cave occupies an
important place in Lesotho history.This is the smallest
of the LHDA reserves about 4 hectares.The cave is ,in
fact a large sandstones 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 implement.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.The site was entirely developed with labour
and artisans.This means that most of the development
costs have been ploughed directly back into the local
community.

10. CONCLUSION
we may agree that tourism attractions bring so much positive
impacts in different areas of country(economic growth,culture&
history potration etc) reasons being as follows:
Tourism attractions-Mountains(Thabana-
ntlenyana),waterfalls(Maletsunyane&Ketane),museums(Morija
Museum and Arts), parks(Sehlaba-Thebe),Cave&Culture
(Liphofung) as well as skiing resort(Afriski) provide memorable
scenery for tourists like patching in the rocks of Lesotho and
admiring pictures of sans in Liphofung Cave and Culture.We may
conclude that tourism attractions in Lesotho brings more
contributions in to economic growth of the country whereby
Lesotho gets minerals from the mountains such as diamonds and
sell them in cash ,and Tourism Attractions charges for the activities
they offer so, that also contribute to economic growth. Through
Tourism attraction places Basotho traditions and history is
potrayed for example Morija Museum and Arts potrays at level the
rich culture and celebrations that Lesotho is truly proud of,e.g
King ‘s birthday& Heritage day.
