"I think I was the only foreigner among you and at the beginning I was thinking it's really tough to chill with local people in their own country, but on the way back I was sitting in a car full of friends! Just wanted to thank you guys for an exceptional memory yu made for me. I hope in next trips we can see each other again" - Mahdi

Clarens, Free State
Clarens is known for its spectacular sandstone mountains and wonderful climate; it is one of the most picturesque spots in South Africa. The list is endless when it comes to activities.
Cheese tasting at Noah’s Cheese, ziplining, biking and a nightlife experience of Clarence are all on the table for epic things to do. Pick and choose what you'd like to do, as simple as that!
This area is spiritually unique where Khoisan Hunter gatherers shown on the town’s rock art is estimated to be over 2000 years old.
Golden Gate
Unshackle yourself from the daily grind of life and completely absorb yourself in truly breathtaking scenery. Explore the cultural nuances of a small town and the ancient lands that surround you! All of which can be found at the Golden Gate Highlands National Park in the beautiful Free State (where freedom is even in the name).
The park's most notable features are its golden, ochre, and orange-hued, deeply eroded sandstone cliffs and outcrops, especially the Brandwag rock.
Activities available: Stunning morning Hike, village visit and horse riding.
Hiking & chasing waterfalls - Drakensberg
No need to deprive yourself anymore of nature's wonder! This is where we'll be very soon. The Drakensberg is the most famous hiking destination in South Africa. The Northern part is regarded by many as the most dramatic section of all, with access to the highest country in the world, "Lesotho," the biggest indigenous forest in the berg, the largest consolidation of rock art in the world and the 2nd highest waterfall on the planet.
