The Free State is surrounded by several of South Africa's provinces and shares a border with the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. The Free State lies between the Vaal River in the north and the Orange River in the south. The Free State is a rural province with wide horizons and blue skies and consists of farmlands, mountains, goldfields and widely dispersed towns. This area is covered by sandstone buildings around the highlands and beautifully decorated Sotho houses complementing the grasslands. Some of South Africa's most valued San (Bushman) rock art is found in the Free State. The Free State is divided into five regions and renting a car to explore the countryside is a must.
Xhariep (Gariep) Region
This is a region of vast grassy plains and endless vistas, where visitors can enjoy open blue skies and fresh unpolluted air. The Gariep Dam is situated in the southern-most corner of the region and offers excellent recreational facilities for anyone wishing to escape city life.
Motheo Region
Motheo is the Sesotho word for "foundation" and is named for the region's geographical position in the heart of the Free State. The capital of the Free State and the sixth largest city in South Africa, Bloemfontein, is situated in this region.
Lejweleputwa Region
This region was formerly known as the Free State Goldfields and its proud history and heritage will take you on a journey through a variety of landscapes, with diverse cultures. Descend into the depths of the earth in a local gold mine or explore the countryside from a steam train.
Thabo Mofutsanyana Region
The Eastern Free State, with its beautiful snow-capped mountains, is an untouched, pristine area with breathtaking scenery. Hiking trails meander through densely vegetated valleys and wild gorges, while Bushman paintings evoke images of lost civilizations.
Northern Free State
This is predominantly an agricultural region, producing the large portion of South Africa's maize crop. It is home to the Vaal Dam, which is the inland water supply for South Africa. The Northern Free State features untouched San rock art, the ruins of ancient settlements and the third largest meteorite site in the world.
