Senqu River

Senqu River

The Senqu River is a river located in the rural highlands in the district of Mokhotlong in the country of Lesotho in Southern Africa. Its tributaries include the Senqunyane River.

Wild life

The Senqu river has a small native fish population, some of which are edible. Trout were also introduced during British occupation but their numbers have dwindled. All fish populations on a whole in the Senqu river are low due to over fishing and other environmental factors.
