Matekane Air Strip is a high elevation airstrip serving Matekane, Lesotho, with a runway that extends to the edge of a 500 m (1,600 ft) cliff. The runway is often used by charity organizations and doctors to access remote villages in the area, and is known as one of the world's scariest runways.[2]

The Maseru VOR-DME (Ident: MZV) is located 30.3 nautical miles (56.1 km) northwest of the airstrip.[3]
