Short description of Semonkong
Semonkong means place of smoke, and the smoke is the spray thrown up by the Maletsunyane falls, which drop a hundred and ninety two metres in a single fall a short ride from the village. The commercial abseil down the cliff beside them is the longest single drop of its kind anywhere and needs a practice descent the day before, so nobody does it on a one night stop. Ponies are still the local transport here, and the lodge takes strings of them out every day. In the depths of winter the falls freeze along their edges.
