The Kingdom of Lesotho, the “Kingdom of heaven”, the only country in the world, the whole area which is above 1400 m above sea level. This is one of the smallest countries in Africa.

The Kingdom of Lesotho is an enclave, completely surrounded by the territory of the Republic of South Africa. Thus Lesotho, along with Vatican city and San Marino is one of three independent States in the world, surrounded by the territory of one country.
