Subeng River Dinosaur Footprints

Lesotho


Dinosaur footprints abound near Leribe. About 7km north of town (en route to Butha-Buthe) are the Subeng River footprints. At the signpost, just before the road crosses the river, walk down about 500m to a concrete causeway. The worn footprints of at least three species of dinosaur are about 15m downstream on the right bank.

A local man who owns the land will collect your money, and children will likely offer to guide you.
