"The Free State landscape gladdens my heart, no matter what my mood.

When I am here I feel that nothing can shut me in and that my thoughts can roam as far as the horizons." Nelson Mandela

Clarens

The Jewel of the Eastern Free State, Clarens is situated at the foot of the Maluti mountains close to the Golden Gate National Park and the majestic kingdom of Lesotho.

This tranquil village is an artists haven with numerous galleries and many South African artists have lived here or frequent the village.

Nestled in the foothills of the Maluti mountains lies the Golden Gate National Park, which derives its name from the golden tones the sun casts on the towering sandstone cliffs.

This 11 600 hectares of unique landscape is home to a large variety of mammals.

Close to Bethlehem you can find a wildlife ranch, famous for the Pretoriuskloof Bird Sanctuary and the white lion breeding programme.
