Paul Roux , Thabo Mofutsanyana
The little town of Paul Roux, near the historical Bethlehem, may be small but it showcases the beauty of the Free State and the high African skies to perfection.
It is a stunning base from which to explore so many of the local walking and hiking trails that immerse visitors into the heart of the local fauna and flora. Sunshine, fresh air, and birdsong are the orders of the day on these trails.
Paul Roux has gorgeous rock formations, adorned with ancient cave art. Massive trees dot the landscape and there are even preserved footprints from a dinosaur at Uniondale Farm nearby. This is a gorgeous getaway for families that want to experience the beauty of true “peace and quiet” with a few stunning sights along the way.
There are safari options in the area for visitors to see some of South Africa’s most exciting species, right in their natural habitat.
The little town of Paul Roux is only two hours from Bloemfontein and over three hours from Johannesburg. So, it’s ideal for a weekend getaway for those staying in Jo’burg or Bloem.
