| Free State
Family-friendly Holidays: The landlocked Free State province seems to lie in the
very heart of the country forming a plateau between the Vaal and Orange Rivers. The Free
State has a reserved and largely undiscovered beauty all its own, owed in no small part to
the number of days of sunshine, the flat wide grassy plains, imposing mountains that
dominate the horizon, and the little dorps or towns. |

  Aside from the major cities in the
Free State of Bloemfontein and Welkom, it is the little towns like Clarens,
Fouriesburg,
Memel, Parys
and Villiers that are the real showstoppers, and together with locations like the Golden
Gate National Park and Willem
Pretorius Game Reserve, make a visit to the Free State with kids a real escape from it
all. Bloemfontein or Bloemies, as it fondly known by its residents, is a place of little
stress and less haste and one of the major cities in the country that feels more like a
little town and less like a city than any other.
For families this is a bonus and visits to the zoo or Naval Hill and the many arts and
crafts markets, like Art in the Park at Kings Park on the first Saturday of every month,
provide wonderful ways to while away time that seems to stand still. The Oliewenhuis Art
Museum has a great tea garden and a lot of things for children to do when they’re not
running around the gardens. You can also pre-pack a picnic for beneath the trees.
The Free State is rife with festivals - from the Philippolis
Witblits (Afrikaans for ‘white lightning’, meaning moonshine) Festival in April
with boeresports for children and a lot of food and drink, to the Ficksburg
Cherry Festival in November - a treat for children of all ages. And the range of hills
near Parys forms part of the Vredefort
Dome, the largest visible meteor-impact site in the world, one of seven Unesco World
heritage sites in the country and well worth a visit. |
