Leribe is in the north of Lesotho. Established in the 19th century by a British missionary, this town on the banks of the Hlotse river was one of the main centres in colonial days. Today, it's home to some 25,000 people and is a good place for travellers to find whatever last supplies they need to head out into Lesotho's gorgeous highlands. It has two major towns Hlotse, a market town, and Maputsoe the industrial hub.

Buses/minibuses are available from the Maseru transit station for around 35 maloti or rand (Apr 2014). Takes around 1.5-4 hours, depending on route (may detour to Maputsoe before heading to Leribe).
