Sunny most of the year, Bloemfontein’s clear skies encourage activities such as cycling, quad biking and barbecuing anywhere near water (swimming pool, dam or river). A great way to wind down the day is taking a leisurely drive to a favourite lookout spot like Naval Hill, to salute the sunset with something cold and enjoy the star-strewn night sky that follows.
The live entertainment scene is a fun way to access local culture, as are restaurants that serve regional specialities like fragrant Free State grilled lamb and farmers’ sausage (called “boerewors”). If you’re ready for more action, the clubs and bars aren’t shy to stay open late on the weekend. The surrounding areas also boast a wealth of attractions – go on a fossil-hunting safari, learn to ride like an African cowboy or go pony-trekking in the Maluti Mountains. The Free State’s Golden Gate Highlands National Park is a major highlight and offers up scenery not to be missed – it’s definitely worth the drive from the city of Bloemfontein.
