In the tranquillity of the Eastern Free State, one can reconnect with nature at the Moolmanshoek Private Game Reserve. Surrounded by the majestic Witteberg mountains, you can ride one of the Boerperd horses kept on the reserve which are known for their steady rootedness and excellent sense of direction. If you’ve never gone horse riding, worry not as the horses are agreeable with beginner riders. The bonus is that you get to enjoy magnificent views and endless green pastures as you make your equestrian dreams come true. 

  1. Hi from up in the sky…

For a healthy dose of adrenaline, it is a definite must-try. 

  1. River rafting for real memories 

For water lovers, the small town of Clarens offers an unforgettable white river rafting experience.
