Katse Dam Accommodation on route to the Katse Dam in Lesotho The Katse Dam as part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project is a must visit for any tourist hoping to get a glimpse of the engineering wonders of Africa. The water flows from the Lesotho Highlands to a number of dams and then tunnel all the way through the Maluti Mountains to the Free State Province of South Africa from where water is also channelled to Pretoria and Johannesburg. Why visit the Katse Dam? Apart from being the largest water project in Africa, it boasts a huge dam wall and absolutely stunning views of the water lake amongst majestic mountains.
