Peka Bridge

Peka Bridge is a road border post between Lesotho and South Africa. Its published normal hours are 08:00–16:00 local time (UTC+2).

Hours and alternatives

The Lesotho post is in Leribe district. Allow time for formalities on both sides before closing. Lesotho's Ministry of Home Affairs lists Maputsoe/Ficksburg Bridge and Maseru Bridge as 24-hour crossings. Check temporary operating changes before setting off or changing your route.

Road toll

From 1 April 2026, Lesotho's Road Fund lists M120 for a foreign-registered Class 1 motorcycle or light vehicle. This is the road toll. Any applicable tourism levy or rental-company cross-border charge is additional to the M120 road toll; confirm the amounts for your vehicle before departure.

Vehicle paperwork

Since 1 June 2026, SARS requires vehicles registered outside South Africa to be declared on its Traveller Management System when entering or leaving South Africa. This includes vehicles from Lesotho and the other SACU countries. The requirement concerns the vehicle's registration, not the driver's nationality.

For those vehicles, SARS lists a certified copy of the registration certificate. If the vehicle is financed, obtain permission from the finance company. If you are not the registered owner, obtain the owner’s authorisation. For a rental car, you need the rental agreement and cross-border permission. Check passport and visa requirements for both countries, including your return journey.

Hours, the road-toll tariff and the vehicle-declaration rules were checked on 2 November 2026. These are published rules, not a live report of queues or temporary closures.
