Nestled in the rolling foothills of the Maluti Mountains of the northeastern Free State lies the breathtaking Golden Gate Highlands National Park, a haven of natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Rejuvenation is on offer at Golden Gate Highlands National Park. Spend time in the majestic Maluti Mountains, hiking, horse riding, exploring caves and much more in their indescribable golden glow. At sunset, watch the sandstone cliffs ignite in hues of orange and red, a mesmerizing sight that gives the park its name.
The vulture’s restaurant (bird hide) welcomes birders to a proper vulture feast, where these magnificent scavengers gather in their natural habitat.
Basotho Cultural Village will transport you back in time and take you on an incredible journey where a chief offers you mqombothi (sorghum beer), his wives offer you the fruits of their labour and a traditional healer offers you insight into African spirituality.
