Tour Description
The Eastern Free State is a beautiful area on the border of Lesotho, in the foothills of the Maloti Mountains and the Drakensberg, which has not yet been discovered by mass tourism.
You will still find there beautiful pristine nature, where game is still free roaming and where you will have the feeling as if you are alone on the world.
On our tour you will be accompanied by our experienced guides who will take you away from the paved roads and the typical tourist destinations. Transport is by comfortable and fully equipped Land Rover Defender or Toyota Land Cruiser.
Departures are from Mont Plaisir Guest Farm in Fouriesburg, close to the Lesotho border.

From there we go to the Golden Gate National Park. Lunch will be en-route in the Golden Gate. After lunch we go to Clarens for some sight seeing, art galleries or just for a relaxed drink on one of the terraces. In the afternoon we return to Mont Plaisir Guest Farm.
