At the foot of Lesotho’s Maluti Mountains - the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, will literally leave you high with inspiration, with its breathtaking landscape and endless horizons overlooking the vast beauty that is the Free State. Loved for its unusual scenery and renowned for its golden aura as the sun lights up the sandstone cliffs and outcrops, the Golden Gate Highlands National Park is central to Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein, making it the ideal escape if you long to stretch your legs, breathe fresh mountain air and let nature lift up your soul. Since this is a national park, you won’t be starved for wildlife. Spot the Black Wildebeest, Eland, Blesbok, Oribi, Springbok and Burchell’s zebra that graze its wild, grassy pastures, or the rare bearded vultures that circle the skies above the lost pathways of the San hunter-gathers, who once dwelt in the park's caves. You also won’t run short of things to do on your visit. Whether it’s feeling the rush of the rapids with some white-river rafting or hiking up incredible mountains, there are plenty of adventures to have in this scenic corner of South Africa.
