Masitise Cave House Museum

Approved

Is a cave that was sealed and turned into a family home in 1866 by Reverend David Frederic Ellenberg. The cave has a negative dinosaur footprint in the ceiling, a natural spring water source, and the Reverend's son Edmond burried in a wall. Today the cave is a museum that displays artifacts from Morija Museum of Archives and tells the story of Rev. Ellenverger's 55 years in Lesotho. It is located just off the A4 on a dirt road that is about 5 kilometers west of Quthing turnoff and gas a sign for the Masitise Primary School. Continue 1 km on the dirt road past the school and church. The family or a volunteer living in the house beside the church can take you on a short walk to the cave.
