Motebong lodge has a working arrangement with Lesotho Highlands Water Authority to ensure a fair use of the dam for boating and fishing. For this purpose, that lodge is appointed to issue fishing and boating permits on behalf of the authority and this allows guests to enjoy the use of the dam.
Before launching boats on the dam or fishing, guests are requested to complete formalities at the lodge reception and this will include cleaning boats as the Water Authority requires.
As the drought continues to be severe, it has had an effect on the water levels of the dam near Motebong Lodge. The result is that we are now not launching boats from within our grounds but from a slipway 15 minutes’ drive from our gate on a tarred road. This slipway, was constructed by the Water Authority is of good quality
