Free State

A South African province that stretches along the Maluti Mountains, the Free State is an outdoor paradise for nature lovers. You’ll stumble upon sandstone cliffs, mountain ranges, a range of dramatic national parks, and quaint towns with vibrant attractions like art galleries and museums. If you’re cruising through the region, check out Golden Gate Highlands National Park. A camping hot spot, the national park is home to sandstone formations that glisten gold when the sun is out, forested ravines, gullies, and open grasslands. You’ll also have access to the park’s rare native flowers, including Arum Lily, Watsonias, Fire Lilies, and Red-Hot Pokers. Expect to enjoy some of the prettiest landscapes of South Africa during your trip to the Free State.
