Golden Gate Highlands National Park - Part II


Part II

This is part II of my photographs of this wonderful National Part in the North Eastern part of Free State.
If you missed part I just click this link


On our return trip from Cape Town, Plettenberg bay, Bloemfontein to Maputo, we decided to stop over for 2 nights at the Chalets of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, making sure we visited the Quaint town of Clarens. This whole trip was over 4.500km long, well worth to see family and friends.

Concerning the town Clarens, this must be one of the nicest little towns in South Africa, very arty indeed. For this I will do a little blog on Clarens.


Golden Gate Highlands National Park

The Golden Gate Highlands National Park is a Free State Nature Reserve in South Africa, located in the north eastern part of Free State, Nestled in the rolling foothills of the Maluti Mountains.
The park derives its name from the brilliant shades of gold cast by the sun on the Park's sandstone cliffs, especially the imposing Brandwag rock, keeping vigil over the main rest camp.
Golden Gate Highlands National Park was established in 1963 to protect the sandstone rocks were once shelters for the Bushmen. Guests can view many of their cave paintings that are well preserved
